I liked Mummy 1 & 2, also thought Scorpion King was pretty good too. Mummy 3 was a shitshow and this new Mummy movie looks like balls and is getting panned by critics. Even Rotten Tomatoes says that only 56% or so of general movie going audiences gave favorable reviews. So looks like it's a stinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Tom Cruise is waaaay past due for a fall. He's just not a very good actor and now he's kind of aged past the point where hawtness alone can carry his box office for him. And he's just weird. His weirdness isn't on parade every day, but it's out there, and in the internet age, it's not like there's anybody that doesn't know he's a rich weirdo. so - the "one of us" mystique has sort of burned away for him. The cuteness is gone. And the guy's just never been able to act. I think Universal monster movie reboots in general aren't a terrible idea. I mean, they were created to be franchise players basically, each having several sequels. But also - a reboot isn't quite the same thing as entirely re-imagining the Mummy as a high-octane Tom Cruise action movie. I think the Fraser Mummy movies were great and fun little adventure stories, which fits better into that Universal monster niche than all caps ACTION does. I'd like to see somebody make a Mummy movie that brought home the moodiness of the old franchise. More genuine horror, that feeling that something's coming for you that you can't stop, because you did something you shouldn't have done. Instead of that feeling that SPLOSIONS ARE GOING OFF RIGHT IN YOUR FAISE PLANE CRASH BURRRRRCRSSSHHH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 NOOOOOOOOOOO, we require additional cinematic universes, even those that are half baked and don't really make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Fuck a Mummy without Brendan Fraser. Fuck them. I wouldn't really want to fuck a mummy with or without him, but I definitely couldn't do it without his support and tender caress to guide me through the process.

The only two movies I've liked starring Tom Cruise, in recent times, has been 'Collateral' and 'Tropic Thunder'. I haven't seen 'Rock of Ages' but it looks promising. 'Valkyrie' was meh, the Mission Impossible movies are 'meh', 'Oblivion' was.... 'Edge of Tomorrow' looks promising. I've only seen bits and pieces of it but seems good.

Mohri Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's a horrible remake of the good one Did they honestly remake a movie from the 90s, or is it a prequel type of thing? That, or is it not related at all from the Brendan Fraser films at all? I know absolutely nothing about this move, and from what everyone says here, it seems like I am not missing out.

You're not missing out. I haven't seen the movie personally but lots of people were saying it didn't look good before it came out, not it's out... and almost everyone is unimpressed with it. Just to clarify, it's not that I wanted this movie to perform poorly. I would have loved if it had been an awesome kickoff fora new cinematic universe. Unfortunately what we got was a lackluster product. Hopefully this will kill the whole 'Dark Universe' plan and we're just left with this one stinker, instead. The whole concept of creating a cinematic out of all the classic Universal monster movies doesn't sound like a bad idea on paper, but in execution it seems like it would be a monumental task. And if this first entry is any indication, I don't see much hope for the future of this franchise. Hell, I'm gonna go ahead and be 'that guy' here and say that 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' was better than this drek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
