How meh is “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy”? Let me count the ways. OK, it’s better than Tom Cruise’s “The Mummy,” that epic fail from 2017. But not by much. Cronin, with his name in the title in only his third film like he’s Wes Craven or someone whose name connotes quality, did an OK job with 2023’s “Evil Dead Rise.” But the zippy scares of that one get buried here in punishing overlength (two hours and 13 minutes) and borrowed inspiration, especially from “The Exorcist,” that pushes artistic tribute over the line into felony theft.
