I never thought I’d get bored of watching Tom Cruise run in a movie. Yet The Mummy is so relentless and exhausting, and lacking in genuine intrigue, that by its final third I was struggling to find joy even in Tom’s pleasing gait.
It begins with a good idea: establishing a cast of morally suspect characters rather than infallible heroes. Cruise plays Nick Morton, a roguish US soldier who stumbles across the mummy’s cursed grave by accident. There’s also Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), the archaeologist with an agenda sent to recover his find, and Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe), the man in charge of a mysterious organisation tasked with monitoring the world’s monsters. You get the idea – and that’s before we even get to the monster herself, Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), and her agenda to bring about the end of the world. There’s a lot going on – too much. As a consequence, we come to know most of them only superficially.
