Saw this today. In sum it's better than what the critics say - one memorably described it as the crashing together of the Titanic and the Hindenburg-  but it's not a great movie, B- ismygrade.

The coolest scene is the much-hyped airplane crash:

It felt like too much a Tom Cruise star vehicle than a true-blue horror movie. But you get the sense all the actors tried to make a good movie but it just didn't work out quite right.

The female mummy was cool, both before and after her transformation.
