Tom Cruise stars in this spectacular version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy. Just don't go in expecting anything more than what the trailer promises if you can do that, chances are you're going to enjoy the movie and have a good time. Purchase The Mummy (2017) on digital and stream instantly or download offline. But even on it's own and taken at face value, this movie is a feast for the senses, and just a lot of good fun. As with most sequels, you'll get more out of `The Mummy Returns' if you've seen the original, which had more of a story and, of course, would give you the background of the characters. The supporting cast includes John Hannah (providing some comic relief as Jonathan Carnahan), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lock Nah), Freddie Boath (Alex O'Connell) and Obed Fehr (Ardeth Bay). Most importantly, they all walk the walk and talk the talk, and Sommers keeps them on track and wisely avoids allowing any lapses into `camp' or tongue-in-cheek character interpretations, which makes this a solid, fun-filled, action-adventure movie that is what it is. As far as the performances, suffice to say that the actors involved all do their jobs well after all, in a movie like this you're not going to find anyone struggling with `The Method.' Fraser strikes a handsome, heroic pose- call him a poor man's Indiana Jones- and Weisz is becoming as Evelyn.
