The Mummy (2017) - Awfully Good Movies
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This weekend, Universal Pictures is finally doing right by its slate of movie monsters with a little help from Blumhouse Productions for its acclaimed remake of THE INVISIBLE MAN, and Awfully Good Movies is taking you back a mere three years ago to remind you about Universal's previous (and worst) attempt at raising the Universal Monsters back from the dead with Tom Cruise starring in Alex Kurtzman's remake of THE MUMMY! With DRACULA UNTOLD failing to incur any interest in the idea of a shared monster universe, Universal decided to fully commit to its plans for a "Dark Universe" by going all out with a brand new take on Boris Karloff's bandaged baddie. And much like Stephen Sommers' blockbuster MUMMY remake that became a franchise of its own, the 2017 MUMMY would spice things up with some fist-swinging action in between all the scares, with Tom Cruise playing an army soldier and part-time thief who accidentally unleashes the supernatural evil of an ancient Egyptian princess who'd been entombed for dealing with the devil.
Yes, you heard us right: this time, our mummy is all woman--namely the woman who kicked Taron Egerton's ass with her knife legs in KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, Sofia Boutella. Plus to tie the installments of this franchise together, we've got Russell Crowe adding some class as the Dark Universe's equivalent to Nick Fury, Dr. Henry Jekyll, who keeps his evil alter ego in check while running a secret organization tasked with rounding up the various Universal Monsters and stopping them from destroying the world. And yet with all of this talent, the new MUMMY was little more than a grab-bag of action movie cliches and obvious CGI that pathetically tried ripping off the Marvel movie formula, along with numerous plot elements from far better movies: AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, Tobe Hooper's LIFEFORCE, and even Tom Cruise's own EDGE OF TOMORROW.
So by failing to commit to the atmospheric horror of the 1932 MUMMY or the adventurous action of the 1999 MUMMY, the 2017 MUMMY left audiences with the worst of the both worlds and immediately killed off future plans for Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's monster and Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man. But hey, now that the Depp-less INVISIBLE MAN remake has finally done right by the Universal Monsters, then perhaps there's some hope left for this "Monster-verse" after all. May I suggest Universal gets to greenlighting MADEA MEETS THE MUMMY?

#TheMummy #TomCruise #UniversalMonsters
the funniest thing about the new invisible man movie is thats exactly what red letter media said they should do with the universal monsters. a bunch of low budget modern horror movies. not massive budget dumb action movies.
It was hilarious to me when they announced Blumhouse was taking over the monster movies, because all the TH-cam reviews of THE MUMMY suggested that exact idea, and it did my heart good to see Hollywood listening to common sense for once.
@@JoBloOriginals can you do Awfully Good Movies Sharkboy and Lavagirl, plz
i guess they ruins that also...love horrors and some body-horrror style would be nice but its not 80s anymore
Gotta wonder if the premise is a slight (unfair IMO) jab at Depp himself.
@@JoBloOriginals so is the invisible Man based on a book or another horror movie universe movie?
I loved Dracula Untold. I thought Luke Evans did a great job with the character.
Yeah especially when seeing it in my home cinema 4k projector Atmos sound system
@Valkyrie I agree with you, Dracula Untold should have been THE first film for The Dark Universe.
+Jason Powell
Yeeaahh, but he's still no Bela Lugosi, Klaus Kinski, or Gary Oldman. Hell, he's not even on par with Frank Langella. :\
💯💯🎯🎯 wolf mam was dope as well in I thought those two would of def set the monster universe off back when those came out
@@matthewmoran5297 I'd blame that more on the plot tbh
"...as it flies into an oncoming flock of crows."
*Murder*, murder of crows*
Your observation was an astute one. Not many people know that a gathering of crows is called a "murder". When I have corrected others they don't even believe me. It sounds ridiculous the first time you hear it though. The Grammar Police are proud of you. You are up for a promotion, but I am the leader of the Grammar Police so I will consider it. There may be an opening in our Special Spelling Unit.
@@Friartuck102 Well technically it's not good grammar or even a sophisticated thesaurus, but just the quirky imagination of a single work of hunting manual from the 1500s in England or France... they went well out of their way to create these group names, but few of them were really traditional before that book was written. Still people treat it like it is THE authority on naming groups of animals. Suuuuure.
@@pedrocerda6574I hope the wall keeps your family out.
When I first saw the trailer, Auhmanet kinda looked like Suicide Squads Enchantress to me.
Yep
Mummy girl is a way better actress though
I was trying to remember who played the mummy and all I could think was Cara Delevingne
The best part of this movie was Ahmanet, she was easily the most interesting character (thanks especially to Sofia Boutella's performance) and I honestly wish she had won in the end by successfuly converting Nick, though maybe he convinces her to cool it with the whole "take over the world" scenario because shared universe and all that. It could've made the movie a little better, not by much but still.
@giftofgab247 "And I am Hyde! Don't you forget my name! Don't you forget me, Nich-o-las Mor-ton." XD
@@satireknight Can't argue with that, she def. could've had a better motivation but yes Sofia was still fantastic though.
@@satireknight also, why would she need evil god powers I'd she was just gonna slit her families' throat in their sleep.
Yes, and then the sequel: archiveofourown.org/works/11175627
No way Tom would have allowed that!
I wish Del Toro had helmned The Dark Universe from the start.
Especially since he took his ideas for that universe and used them to make SHAPE OF WATER instead. He ends up winning a shitload of Oscars, and Universal ends up kicking itself in the ass for letting him go.
Now that would be amazing to watch than any of the Dark Universe movies we have so far.
that would be fucking cool! I've been waiting years for him to make a Frankenstein's Monster movie.
@giftofgab247 Witness how well crafted, "The Outsider" is using no CGI and decent character development.
@@theimperviousfirecracker7934 Mel Brooks was right. The original "Frankenstein", movie is a dark comedy.
I enjoyed this movie. Most saw it as confusing in tone, but I found the mixture of tone refreshing. And I didn't expect the movie to blow me away, though it was far from a dud (for me).
I feel the same, I could tell from the trailers it was WAY different than Fraisers Mummy films. I don't consider those particularly special either to be honest!!! Just fun 90s action adventures. I didn't have high hopes for the new one, but it pleasantly surprised me once I got around to watching it. I actually like it lol. The ending is VERY reminiscent of the end of Underworld!!! Still good though
I loved this movie
👏✊ I didn't think it was that bad. I've watched it a couple of times😉😜
Another addition to the The Mummy Drinking Game : Take a shot every time Dr Jekyll says "Monsters" and "Evil"
7:33 And that was the moment Nick realized how basic and boring Jenny was as a character and silently decided he preferred the ancient Egyptian mummy princess, because at least she had a personality, albeit a power-hungry and murderous one.
I actually saw this in theatre, on my dad’s insistence. He was so disappointed with Tom Cruise after the movie ended.
sugreev2001 That happens a lot
I haven't seen _Invisible Man_ but I think it's a better restart for the Dark Universe after _The Mummy_ is a box office failure. But I wish it should be started with _Phantom Of The Opera_ since it started the Universal Classic Monsters.
Actually, it was the 1923 Lon Chaney version of HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME that kicked off the Universal Monsters. But that's easy to forget since Universal has never made another HUNCHBACK movie since then.
"I haven't seen invisible man...." well, yeah. He's invisible
@@nicholasmolnar8312 Ironic. But I'm talking about the movie, not the character. I can see the unseen.
This wasn't that bad. Sofia Boutella was awesome as the mummy. Just wish they backed off on the shared universe so soon.
Boutella definitely isn't bad in this movie. It's just a shame that she doesn't get that much time to shine, because it might have made for a better movie.

I guess that’s what happens when you cast a big name movie star like Tom Cruise as the hero instead of finding an unknown actor like the Stephen Sommers version did with Brendan Fraser.
@Donald Trump correct
@@tedgruver7618 Brendan Fraser wasn't unknown when he did The Mummy.
The Monster Squad is such a charming movie, funnier that this über-budgeted Cruise missile (heh heh) of crap. Why can't those Universal lackeys let this poor Mummy lie down for a while and take a symbolical breath -along with its fellow monsters? Meanwhile, they could use their time to write good scripts, instead of hollow vessels for hollow people. But one can worry though, for good stories and storytelling are not Blumhouse's cup of tea. Or should say... of blood! [evil maniacal laugh]
3 years ago...
Shit, time flies.
Ikr, my dad and I watched the 2018 Tomb Raider remake recently and I mentioned how it had almost been two years since we saw it and Dad was amazed that it had already been that long.
“Hoo hooo, THATS good LIFEFORCE!” lmao!
“Alex Kurtzman you just single handedly destroyed the reputation of The Mummy, Tom Cruise AND killed the Dark Universe in its crib with one fateful blow! What are you gonna do next!?!”
“Im going to CBS to have complete control over the ENTIRE Star Trek tv franchise for the next 5 years!!!” 😳😫😵
The Great Bird Of The Galaxy: “In that moment I felt a great disturbance... as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened...” 🎶WOMP WOMP!🎶
Stop hiring actors (like Tom Cruise) who insist on changing things just so that they will get more screen time even if it ruins the original script.
A lot of movies like this won't get the greenlight unless they hire big names like this. It's a Catch 22
I liked Dracula untold
I would have liked to have seen this universe prosper. The critics are shit. Rarely do they agree with the audience. And coming in behind Wonder Woman isn’t that bad.
I disagree here about the awfulness of it.
The Jack reach around was too much
Fairly sure this one belongs in the Awfully BAD Movies pile...
Agreed.
@Donald Trump No it's just so bad...it's really bad. Much like your presidency.
Shantae developers Wayforward actually made a video game based on this called The Mummy Demastered which was better received than the movie.
Also I feel bad for Annabelle Wallis because she seemed to be stuck playing the role of “useless main female character that does nothing because the writers were lazy*”.
*see Kairi from Kingdom Hearts or Kayley from Quest for Camelot.
The Mummy 2017 ripped off Edge of Tomorrow...damn didn't see that one coming! But Emily Blunt's Rita was WAY more interesting than Annabelle Wallis's Jenny though let's be real here.
It's kind of a guilty pleasure. A mess of a movie, but I kind of like it.
• 10:05 - It's possible that _American Werewolf_ copied the ghost thing from _Pet Sematary_ (the book) which had a similar thing with Pascow, but at least that was only similar, this was an _exact_ copy of the _American Werewolf_ thing. ¬_¬
• 13:06 - It's a squid… from _20,000 Leagues_ (remember Captain Nemo from _League of Extraordinary Gentlemen_ ?)
This is An American Mummy in London. I would rather watch Tomb of the Dragon Emperor anyday over this piece of crap.
Declan Kearns same
“The Invisible Man” was so good! Leigh Whannell crafted a movie that wasn’t really focused on the titular character & was about Elisabeth Moss’ character
The Perfect World logo was there because in a perfect world Universal's Dark Universe would've succeeded...and it really could've, had they not tried so hard to ride the coattails of Marvel and DC. Those were superhero films, not monster movies; what works for one is not guaranteed to work for the other.
Tom Cruise makes millions of dollars doing cardio.
The scene with Mr Hyde was actually pretty good (the actual performance from Crowe I mean). A first movie about Mr Hyde facing the character of Cruise, building their relationship, as they find a cure and setup their parternship for the future could be decent. That would reduce the obscene amount of exposition that movie had and create a good dynamic for the core duo of that franchise.
It´s been 3 years this June that I watched this movie, and I´m still so fascinated by how bad it is.
Personaly, i liked "The Mummy" (2017). Now,this movie is from a serie which has a "common ground" with other series : "Indiana Jones" :-) This movie, just like its predecesors, doesn't have to be "all serious". The subject is interesting and the tale is a bit different than the other "Mummy" movies. But, that's only my personal opinion. Feel free to have your own ;-)
I agree, I like this movie too. When I finally watched it, I was like wow.... I kinda missed out on this!!!
@@raymondnewbill5294 👍
Rick O'Connell: We are in VERY serious trouble.
this was a dope ass movie, props to tom cruise and boutella
The Mummy 2017 was the best of them all & I was about as they were dropping. IDK why people/critics hated on it when it was a fucking good movie. No bullshit romance. just a woman who bonded with in a end of life way. definitely. Just action from the Mummy, undead army. Templers were cool AF! Mind Fucks, comedy with his friend & when he said to her the truth about the parachutes. ''Ya a good man. you gave me the last & saved my life..:)'' Tom: ''I thought there was another one...:|''
Say what you will about Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island And Truth or Dare, But if the early reviews of Invisible Man are to go by then Universal should’ve handed the keys to the Monsters and their Dark Universe to Jason Blum in the first place. Especially with the success of the Happy Death Day films and the collaborations with Jordan Peele.
At least Tom Cruise starred in the much better but overlooked by many American Made. Seriously, I think the bad taste of the Dummy Mummy made people not want to see a good movie like that and that’s why it’s not as watched or talked about as much as other films from that year.
Mercury is most of the time a liquid.
Duly noted, I was confused because Russell Crowe said later in the film they were keeping the Mummy locked up through the solidifying mercury they've injected into her veins to prevent her from escaping.
@@JoBloOriginals ah Ok, i didn't know that. Because obviously I haven't watched the movie.
The Problem with The Mummy was Tom Cruise, because that circus midget wrecked the film with his ego and made it all about him when it was to be about Sofia Boutella, The Mummy wasn't the first film that he wrecked with his ego. According to R. Lee Ermey it was Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut that Tom Cruise fucked up. Universal should have gone for either Jason Ritter, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Ryan Gosling, Erick Elias, Paulo Costanzo, Diego Luna, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eddie Redmayne, or Justin Long being how those 10 are close to age with Annabelle Wallis, whereas Tommy Boy is old enough to be her father being how she was 1 when he was in Legend with Tim Curry and Top Gun with Val Kilmer. Plus if Universal had gotten one of those 10, you wouldn't have been hearing bring back Brendan Fraser as much. Because think about this, did you hear people tell Disney and Sony to bring back either Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire when they cast Tom Holland for the role of Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man, not that much and why. Because Tom Holland doesn't have any toxic baggage like Tommy Boy does.
To be fair, Universal already did establish a successful shared cinematic universe with their classic monsters. It was actually the FIRST shared cinematic universe. And an argument could be made that the buzz around those movie crossovers of the 30's and 40's is perhaps what inspired some of the first crossovers between comic book characters...without which you wouldn't have an MCU or a DCEU today. And even if that's not the case, there is no doubt in my mind that back in 2007 Marvel Studios (still a fledgling studio belonging to a company that had just narrowly avoided bankruptcy a few years earlier) would never have pulled the trigger on a massive investment like a shared cinematic universe if there wasn't ample precendent for a similarly ambitious approach to cinematic storytelling proving successful for other studios in the past. And by my count there were actually three such examples before the MCU...the Universal Monsters were just the first, followed by the Toho kaiju movies and Kevin Smith's View Askew movies.
The Egyptologist in me gets so annoyed over Set. HE IS THE GOD OF CHAOS AND STORMS, not Death.
The 2017 Mummy wasn't a good movie. Poorly written and horrible acting by Cruise.
My favorite cinematic universe is the JoBlo.com one.
I'm just glad that we have Mission Impossible Fallout and Top Gun Maverick just to show what Tom Cruise still brings to the table, in this movie I felt like he just didn't give a shxt bout this movie and that he was forced to do a movie with a shitty script and shitty plot that he clearly didn't want to do
I don't know if it is the movie or you, but Set wasn't the Egyptian god of death. He was the god of chaos, desert, war, and a few other things that I don't remember off the top of my head. His brother Osiris was the god of the dead and ruler of the underworld, and Anubis was the god of funerals/mummification after Osiris took over, after Set chopped him into pieces.
So I didn't see this movie basically because I knew it was gonna really suck. But I gotta say - the set up seems pretty good. Maybe I'll check it out.
I just can't digest the fact that they hired fuckin' TOM CRUISE as the protagonist. 😑
This film was trying to be like Fraziers Mummy by being tongue in the cheek slight humor though the confusing plot and badly written story just was a miss.
I've seen some 5 star reviews on google. How bad is it? Is a Resident Evil bad or Doom Annihilation. But I honestly only saw the beginning part.
I enjoyed this film, kinda wish the Dark Universe took off like they hoped it would. Apparently the Invisible Man is a reboot of it.
Yeah, I'm not against the idea of a monster universe, but it has to be done right instead of being forced, because when you're clearly just modeling off the Marvel playbook, it clearly shows.
@@JoBloOriginals can you upload Awfully Good Movies Shorts (2009), plz
So it's a reboot of a reboot, since originally Dracula Untold was supposed to he the start of the Dark Universe, but that bombed so The Mummy was supposed to be the new start of the Dark universe, but that bombed so now you're saying The Invisible man is the new new start of the Dark universe.
@@JoBloOriginals If you think this is a rip-off of Marvel, wait until you see the next chapter of, "RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK".
This awful movie is unwatchable! Gave up half way through and skipped to the ending. Badly acted, lacking in plot and rips off many much better movies. Moved “Eyes Wide Shut” to the 2nd worst movie I’ve ever seen.
I usually enjoy a Tom Cruise movie. And The Mummy was no exception.
2:07, that photo always makes me cringe because they really thought they were cooking 😂
Don't forget northern Saudi Arabia, Iran and entire Middle East is part of Mesopotamia empire.
8:13 The spider bite connection with Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, wow I forgot about that moment in The Mummy but that was a great joke! (In fact all of your references are great, Jo Blo).
"Keep flailing!"~Bill Corbett (Rifftrax, 'Birdemic')
It took me a couple of viewings but I really like this movie. Sometimes you need time to appreciate some productions.
I saw this movie when it came out.I loved it !
i came back from seeing the invisible man,it's shit!
Tom Cruise is older than Russell Crowe? WTFFF??
I actually like this movie! Not perfect but I enjoyed it
Same, its a good, badass modern action adventure film!!!
Bruh
Cruise is immortal... Along with Paul Rudd and Keanu Reeves. They're gonna be fighting it out with katanas in New York some day.
I would watch that movie
This was a phenomenal roast of the studio, films, and talent, all at once.
Unpopular opinions - I kinda liked The Mummy & was waiting for more Dark Universe Movies.
Kurtzman, enough said
It's too bad this dark universe didn't workout it sounded cool
The Mummy wasn't awfully good - it was just awful.
Wasn´t great but not horrible.. Decent movie.
I tried to watch this movie. Twice. I just couldn't bear to finish it. And what pisses me off even more, is that the Universal Monsters are now going to be seen as Box Office Poison due to the Dark Universe imploding -- it'll be years before we get another attempt, if we even need one.
TL;DR - The Mummy "Son of the Masked" a potential universe.
I totally would’ve wanted to see The mummy. Then I saw that it was a Tom cruise action movie
Altered Beast reference for the win
Another great episode of AGM in the can. Congrats, Jesse!
P.S. - I saw The Invisible Man yesterday and it was great. When you get a chance, go see it...if you haven't done so already!
I love movies. I watch dozens of them each week. Good, bad, new, old, campy, clever, whatever... I enjoy them all. The Mummy 2017 was the first movie of the millennium I've seen that was so bad I had to turn it off half-way through.
'...So as we watch Tom Cruise ride out into the desert to see if he can find that pyramid made out of Jerry Maguire VHS tapes'. This line killed me.
Why Was There a Comic relief Character in the movie
It was a very decent film !!
12:15. I'd really like to see them give Renfield his own movie. A story that really explores the twisted relationship between Count Dracula and his unfortunate servant. That's an inspired idea.
They heard you !!
This review is far more entertaining that the damned movie.
Did they say 'submerged in liquified mercury'? Isn't that rather redundant? Pure elemental mercury is liquid naturally, outside of extreme cold or hot temperatures. It's like saying 'liquid water' or 'frozen ice'. It's just rather redundant, yeah? When people mention 'mercury' (the substance), they _usually_ mean its liquid form unless they qualify the statement to suggest it is otherwise, like 'mercury amalgam'. You usually only put qualifiers on things when it's an unusual state or reference. For example, you could say 'frozen water' in place of 'ice' and that does work, even if it's a touch awkward, since one is a specific term for a substance in a certain physical state, whereas the other is also a reference to the substance with an additional descriptor to indicate its physical state.
I am absolutely psyched for *"The Invisible Man,"* but this video had me busting my gut! Haven't laughed so much in a good while!! 😂
I remember The Mummy but I forgot about this 2017 version. WOW. That movie must be really forgettable.
The demastered game was awesome.
Its honestly a pretty damn good action adventure film!!! I say its definitely worth a watch.
One of only Tom Cruise movies since 1995 that I've enjoyed.
I feel like there was some interesting ideas mixing Templars and Egypt.....but Scientology got in the way.....OTO....
"Life Force" was awesome if you are into Steve R. Amazing practical effects.
I love your channel, but sometimes you really have to save our ears from bleeding... RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN 90 techno ON 100 VOLYM!!!!!!!! ... ouch...
Invisible man sucked too…As an Invisible man reboot! NOT as a thriller. Just keep to the original story, sure modernise it but dont F with the concept. High tech suit!?
i did like DRACULA UNTOLD
i only thought that it's conclusion was a bit weak
with that said, it does saddens me not see the Monster dark universe's potential reach it's highest
this should be something as huge as the MCU
Now about this mummy movie i give credit to the female Mummy actress
cos she did look great for the concept of the role
despite the fact that nothing will ever touch the one and only Brendan fraser's Mummy movies
i think.. that cancelling this franchise is actually a mistake...
bare with me!
if the producers did what m. night shyamalan did after unbreakable, and i do not mean wait for a million years to make a sequel but, do it in a small way like at the end of a amazing movie about a dark universe character.
then bring in tom cruise seeming to find a possible cure for his condition.
after seeing that the good and the ''bad'' movie are actualy connected, without us knowing it, bring the storyline back to where they origanaly wanted to move forward from, and then see what happens...
if lets say, tom cruise finds out a good way to use his power (with the occasional moment of relaps) and teams up with russel crows character to look for the big baddy from the previous movie.
and together go on the hunt for the bigger allie to help.
in a sort of a indiana jones meets james bond meets frankenstein kinda way..
i think mayor movie productions nowadays are to easely stopping at perseuing good themes.
why just stop? why not spin it in a good direction?
u guys are losing money everytime u try a new universe. instead u should learn from it, correct it, and use in your benifet.
with Brendan fraser you see O'connell
with fucking tom cruise all you see is tom cruise
there is no a likable main character here
is just the cruise's next pay check
thank you Brendan for giving us O'connell and for been part of a good trilogy
which part 1 and 2 were fucking great
I really liked this movie. Dont know why People didnt like it. Its fun and I can turn my brain off for 2 hours and not worry about anything. And thats needed sometimes 😊
Oh and yes the TC screaming scene is awful.
Also, there is No Scientology diet stupid. As a scientologist I know.
I'm gonna have toi nitpickingly disagree on
1. Ending up as number 2 on the list of movies is not that bad.
And.
2. Do not ever trust the critics (After all they raised Disney's Star Wars spoof to the skies when it was total crap.
And lastly
3. This movie was rather awesome and a good start for the Dark Universe... But the critics as stated above are a bunch of arseholes...
I enjoy you're stuff just wished you kind of gave a bit more of a warning before showing a clip from invisible man. I was watching this to get your take on Mummy 2017. I'm not mad just wanted to express that.
Could have been a much better movie without Tom Cruise; a story that focused more on Princess Ahmanet, and made her a tragic hero/villain in the mode of Coppola's 'Dracula'. Then a sequel, where she is a reluctant, and tainted hero. Something like this: archiveofourown.org/works/11175627
I am sick of Americans can't pronounce IRAQ/IRAN. .......its the same as u pronounce ITALY
Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man? If he was in this years Invisible Man remake that would be kind of awkward
And if Amber Heard was cast as the Invisible Woman before those tapes leaked out...double the awkward.
The Mummy released in 2017 had box office of approximately $410,000,000 according to information I read on Wikipedia. That's not counting sales and rentals ofBlue Rays and DVDs, release on TV and internet.
They allowed Ridley Scott to make those disaster-"prequels" but this is down the crapper... Of course.
The cutscenes are hilarious lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm upset that you made me feel bad about liking this movie. Only for a second.
AND An American Werewolf in Paris? That's below the belt. Julie Delpy is An American Treasure in Le France!
Except the division at Universal developing monster movies and licensing their characters is STILL called Dark Universe.
But why do I think scrapping Prodigium is a bad idea? Two reasons:
1. Heavy implications that this is tied to the Sommersverse. As Prodigium is most likely what the Knights of the Holy Order became.
2. They don't need to be in the foreground. "Shazam" acknowledges the Justice League exists, but is really its own movie. I have no problems with them not being outright connected, but everything literally taking place in the same universe with a team keeping an eye on not letting these things get out of control...THAT'S how you do it.
EDIT-We find out in the now defunct visual novel that Set's possession was killing Nick and he tried to get rid of it.
An awfully bad movie. Had potential with some interesting ideas(Crowe/Jekyll), but was just terrible. The plot was all over the place, and bad "flow" -editing/scripting problems. Character actions and many scenes and action scenes were illogical and/or too preposterous.. Cruise just didn't fit, neither did Botella.
That Looney Tunes part KILLED ME hahaha
Same here, that was amazing XD
Do an Awfully Good Movies review on Dracula 3000 since the 3rd season of the Castlevania anime is now on Netflix.
The moment you said Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde -movie my brain got wired up.
BOTH Jekyll and Hyde want to gather Universal Monsters, for different reasons and you'll never know which one is in charge. Because they're working for the same goal for different reasons the people who're getting in the crossfire are in a constant state of uncertainty. And because Jekyll is not exactly a good man, but a man without drive or backbone, his solutions are always cautious and because Hyde's style is more aggressive the real handler needs to navigate between these two brilliant but deadly different intellects to find just the perfect strategy to control and unleash the monsters they collect.
It would be like the Dark Avengers Initiative was formed with Van Helsing instead of Nick Fury, and Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde instead of Banner and Grey Hulk.
