I want my Mummy

Behold, the new Mummy! Behold, Tom Cruise! Behold, lots and lots of things exploding real good! I really enjoyed the first two Mummy films that Brendon Frasier did with Rachel Weisz. And I really enjoyed the girl fight sequence in ancient Egypt in the Mummy Returns.

I have the first two Mummy films on video and re-watch them continuously whenever I need a Mummy fix (don't like the third Mummy film, the one that takes place in China, and doesn't even have Weisz in the cast). So I have to admit to being a bit reluctant to embrace this new Mummy film.

However, I'll still give it a shot. The new Mummy is a woman (she's played by Sofia Boutella, who I thought was so good as Jaylah in Star Trek Beyond), and this new film looks like it might also be scary. It's the first in a new series of reboots of the classic Universal Monster series, and for that fact alone I'm interested in seeing it.
