“The Mummy” (*** out of four) was an action-packed reboot of the 1999 original “classic” starring Tom Cruise as a U.S. military solider who unintentionally unearths the ancient tomb of an evil princess who subsequently puts a curse on him turning him into the mummy of which he must resist and fight as it endangers him, a female archaeologist (Annabelle Wallis), and an ambiguous scientist (Russell Crowe). Full of great visual effects and never stops moving which is the most important ingredient of these old-fashioned sci/fi monster movies. Cruise is first-rate as usual; Crowe is mostly wasted. About on par with the ’99 original and 2002 sequel “The Mummy Returns”.
