Fun, action-filled and does its part in setting up a very decent premise, "The Mummy" introduces us to a greater franchise and is well worth the watch. That being said, while I believe that it was "good", I don't think that the amount of plot that was delivered- warrants a "buy" over a rental. So save yourself those extra $$, get your snack of choice, a relaxing place to watch and enjoy solidly-put together and entertaining film on the 30 day rental.
