The current 5 user reviews all give the film more than six stars. And they all think that "The New Mummy" is still qualified to be seen as a popcorn movie.
Users movieguy_abc123 praised the visual effects of the film, saying, "Although the visual effects seem to be a cover for bland dialogue, it can be seen that Universal did spend a lot of money to make the film look good." He thinks the movie is worth watching, "even though the storyline sounds a bit old-fashioned (the ancient evil awakening has brought havoc to mankind)" and is still passable if viewed as a popcorn movie.
Harun Karali also thinks it's good to look at the film as a popcorn movie, without too much demand, "If you want to make a reboot, you should boldly make a makeover of the film, otherwise what is the point of restarting?" The baby wants to watch a lighthearted popcorn movie, and I am satisfied with this film. But he complained that Jenny Halsey's role was superfluous and didn't understand what she meant in the movie.
Harun also likes the character settings of the first two mummies, Evelyn and Rick, and doesn't understand why the rebooted version of Mummy wants to change the character settings (just didn't you call for a makeover ==) In addition, the movie is qualified.
Mitodru roy joked that "we see Brother Tang more than the mummy", "The Monster Movie Universe project is just Universal wants to change the name and continue to circle money", ""The New Mummy" is too much to take Brother Tang as a façade, when watching the movie, the screen is full of him, do you give the mummified princess a little shot?" But "If you're a fan of Brother Atang and don't care about the plot at all, you'll love the movie." "I'm a fan of Russell Crowe myself, I wish I had seen Russell Crowe a little more, his magnetic baritone voice is so charming, I hope the New Mummy isn't a movie, but a documentary narrated by Russell Crowe" (Bro, you love it so much).
Timothyalanwilliams doesn't think the movie is a "monster version of Mission Impossible," and "If you like action-adventure movies, the Walking Dead, and old-fashioned jokes, The New Mummy is a qualified popcorn movie." ”

Marc Savlov of Austin Chronicle gave a 30-point negative rating, saying that "the movie is quite grand, quite gorgeous, quite Hollywood, but not a good movie, not even so funny, and compared to a horror thriller, a monster movie should be interesting — like the first mummy in 1999." ”

Roderigo Perez of the playlist: "Bury the movie too... It's... Well..."

It seems that from the perspective of North American word of mouth, this film is as a comment said: "Brother Tang, who is more than half a hundred years old, cannot save the reputation of this piece no matter how hard he fights." "I don't know if It's Atango's real sword that's old or the plot that delays his acting skills ==, as for the masses calling for the return of brandon Fisher, the male protagonist of the classic mummy, your male gods... Right now...... That is true......
In summary:
Highlights: Atango fan movies, popcorn movies, female mummies
Highlights: Visual Effects, Russell Crow Baritone
Groove point: weak plot, smorgasbord of scenes, Atang brother acting skills
Word-of-mouth express, for reference only, although Xiaobian has not yet watched the film, but Xiaobian knows that Brother Tang must do one thing in this movie---- desperately run ==
