So sharp and painfully well acted and funny without diminishing its message (or maybe conveying its message without losing touch with its rich streak of humour). Stylish without being flashy. Music’s unsurprisingly good too. Might have easily targeted more plaudits with a more conventionally downbeat ending but found a better one.

Not good! I really wanted to like it because a) good cast and b) J.C. Chandor, but the plot is uninteresting and the CGI is pretty crummy. Poor ATJ and his incredible abs deserved better.

The best thing about The Mummy is seeing Tom Cruise play a likable rogue - he hasn't had this much fun since Tropic Thunder. He gets to throw himself around on hard floors and in planes as he so often loves to do, but his character is a bit of a cheeky bastard and it gives a fun edge to the flick.

The worst thing is the amount of effort that Universal and the filmmakers are clearly putting in to…
