About

You’ll likely enjoy it if you want fast-paced, over-the-top Mummy-style thrills with adventurous set pieces; Not for you if you prefer the earlier entries’ tone, grounded plots, or the original cast chemistry.

Pros: fast, entertaining action; China-set adventure; returning lead presence | Cons: sometimes cartoonish overreach; uneven story focus; recasting disappointments
