My husband really liked it. Liked the new twist so much he mentioned it a few times and not because it was a female mummy this time. His comments are worth mentioning because fantasy & supernatural are favorite genres for him. Those are not my favorites, but I loved the old horror movies of my youth. For me, the telling point was that The Mummy had my attention all the way through. I didn't once think of Facebook. The sets were excellent. All the actors did very well with their characters although I think the Ms. Halsey character was a bit off. Don't know if it was the acting, the writing, some lack of chemistry between her and Cruise although who could not have chemistry with Cruise. You could see the chemistry from his end but not from hers. I don't think she was trying. I did think the reverse of chemistry of Cruise against the Mummy was well done while the Mummy obviously found him irresistible.
As for PG-13 MEH. So some skeletons became people and some people became skeletons. The Mummy's morphing was really cool. You know in the old 1931 Dracula, the highlight was Dracula melting into a skeleton--we watched it just to see that. The "suggestive content" was so light that kids would not get this few seconds of verbal exchange, but a 13 year old might get a flicker. Partial nudity--so partial you could blink and miss her darkly lit butt. meh. No F bombs, no graphic sex, no political nor social agendas forced down our throats.
Don't miss it, unless you are some guy so envious of Tom Cruise you can only poop on anything he does. Otherwise, should be in every movie lovers list to see.
