For the short and sweet: it has unsettling and creepy elements, but the movie is essentially Evil Dead Rise with an Egyptian skin suit thrown in.
Wokeness: there’s a main female cop who isn’t some Mary sue badass, the main family is white/hispanic from New Mexico and the dad isn’t a pushover, plus is instrumental to the plot. No gay/trans/whatever casting. The cast is fairly “diverse” but realistic to the regions.
Overall I wanted to like this movie but it just wasn’t Mummy, it was a supernatural demon possession movie with minor Egyptian elements. There’s plenty of gore, grossness, and grotesque which will satiate Evil Dead fans, but not anything to really make it a Mummy movie.
So if you just want a gruesome ride with a family trying to save their daughter it’s a solid 6-7 movie, but if you want actual Mummy with Ancient Egyptian lore, esotericism, and iconography you’re going to be left wanting.
I'm assuming the producers were very careful not to lean too heavily into traditional mummy iconography for fear of appearing "culturally insensitive".
Which is ironic when you think about it. Because they only ever worry about offending non-white cultures, but the only reason people think of ancient Egypt as non-white is progressive revisionist history.
I have a theory that any region that israel wants to destroy is usually race swapped or covered over in western films. It started around 2000.
Any people that jews hate are race swapped and humiliated in jew created media. It's accurate.
