Finally saw this yesterday.I think it's great that they wanted to start a shared horror movie universe franchise.Problem is this wasn't a horror movie.It was an action adventure movie with a horror character.A mediocre one at that.Frasers mummy movie was better than this.And changing the mummy's gender served absolutely no purpose and added nothing new to the story.

One of the major turn offs for me was setting it in the modern world. Kind of robbed it of a sense of adventure and it looked a lot more like The Walking Dead a lot of the time.

The other turn off was throwing Jekyll and Hyde in there, having that character played by Russell Crowe also didn't help.
