I remember the first thrill watch of my life was the "The Mummy" in 1999. I was excited when the reboot has been decided and so my expectations were also very high. So does it has succeed in fulfilling that expectation and for me the answer is yes.
This is the story of a soldier cum thief "Nick"(Tom Cruise), who on the course of discovering treasure evokes the Evil Mummy and also got cursed due to this. Jenny, an archaeologist and love interest of Nick is also involves in this. The Mummy is all set to get Nick to complete some rituals and what follows is the whole movie.
Tom Cruise is exceptional in this movie. He excels in everything ranging from Comic timings, actions and he looks damn young. The Mummy is female this time and she performed well. Actions are breathtaking and cinematography is excellent. The story is engaging and full of thrills.
However there are few drawbacks like it has compromised on the premise of being a complete movie by itself, as it was quite evident that they set for the future "Dark Universe" movie and franchisee. But also there is no denial that it has successfully set an exciting tone for the future movies.
It is a must watch for Tom Cruise performance, Special effects and action sequences.
