This was a reboot of the Universal monster movies. It was part of the Dark Universe.

The Brenden Fraser movies share the name only. They were great as well.
When you watch the newer Mummy...you see Easter Eggs for The Monster From The Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein, Jekyll & Hyde.
I'm no Tom Cruise fanboi. I actually loathe his acting. He's one dimensional and flat to hamhanded with his delivery. Often times playing the same character in a different movie. I lump him right up there with Will Smith. My wife watched about 15 minutes of it and I walked into the room, she suggested it's something I might like. I did.
