There's also at least one clever fight scene.

It casts Nick as a lovable scoundrel, and it makes many attempts at snappy humor between him and the other characters.

#ARE THE MUMMY MOVIES BASED ON A BOOK MOVIE#

Like the 1999 movie of the same name, The Mummy is an action movie above all. The first entry in Universal's Dark Universe monster series gets things off to a so-so start it tries to be a crowd-pleaser, but it seems its makers never decided exactly what kind of movie it is. This film marks the first Universal Mummy movie to have the central monster played by a woman. Language is infrequent but includes 'a-hole' and 'son of a bitch,' as well as 'hell' and 'damn.' The main character, who's presented as a hard drinker, quickly downs several glasses of liquor in more than one scene, with no effect. There are several mildly suggestive sexual references, too, including partly naked and/or obscured male and female bodies, kissing, a couple shown in bed together, and sensuality. Expect fairly strong, very loud fantasy/action violence, with some blood spatters, guns and shooting, stabbings, fighting and punching, crashes and explosions, jump scares, zombies, and a lab full of gross things. Rather, it's the first in Universal's new 'Dark Universe' series, which is planned to be an interconnected franchise much like the DC and Marvel superhero movies.

It has very little to do with either the 1932 Boris Karloff version or the 1999 Brendan Fraser take on the story. Parents need to know that The Mummy is a monster movie reboot starting Tom Cruise.
