Regarding the release and reception of the Mummy, I think they fucked up giving it that title. Every one has mistakenly compared it to the Fraser versions, when it's clear it had no relation whatsoever to those films. I enjoyed the movie when I took it out of that context and I could see the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen universe tie-in coming a mile away which has me excited for the next movies.
Looking at Kurtzman's imdb you can see that The Invisible Man and a Van Helsing movie have both been announced and I find this Universe much more interesting than any capeshit one. What does /tv/ think?
It was bad without even comparison.

What did you find bad about it? Maybe im just a sucker for Cruise kino. I don't think I've ever disliked anything he's been in.
>>83842531
It was a made-by-committee movie that was dumbed down for international audiences. Literally 90% of the movie is voice over exposition and the whole thing borders on visual novel with how much they "tell" instead of "show."
>>83842531
Same shit happened with Dredd. It was still somehow associated with the '95 movie. Social media I swear.
>>83842531
You never want to be the position of people saying "It's not as good as the Brendan Frasier movie". That a bad place to be
>>83842829
Maybe they're using it as a precursor for the future movies where they'll expand further and show more. Perhaps if they started with The Invisible Man or Van Helsing instead of The Mummy they might have been able to hit the ground running.
>>83842920
The difference being that Dredd was a competently made movie and The Mummy sucked ass in every way possible. There was nothing redeemable about it, even Cruise was bad and miscast.
>>83842981
Maybe they should have just focused on making a good movie instead of trying to get in on the capeshit cinematic universe game.

I liked it
I really want a creature from the black lagoon movie. When was the last time there was a good swamp moster movie?
>>83842531
>capeshit
you can't use that kind of term when you're defending a flickbomb.
I liked it too, even though the ending seemed too slapped together. I hope Dark Universe does well; I think it's a cool concept.
>>83842531
It was doomed to fail without Brendan Frasier

>mfw I realize this movie is giving me a necrophilia fetish
>>83842531
I think they fucked up making that movie.
>>83846701
I think your parents fucked up making you.
>>83846825
They fucked, that's for sure. Maybe one day you'll get to do it too.

I honestly thought Cruise was better in this movie than I expected.
Hearing that Cruise was going to play the main character, I thought he was going to be completely unlike Fraser. The movie as a whole is still VERY much unlike the original, but Cruise actually did an okay job of being a silly, reckless guy like Fraser's character.
>mfw people call Fraser's Mummy "the original"

>didn't even wait for Ahmanet to be fully regenerated before giving us a scene where she literally straddles Nick and feels him up thoroughly (with evident satisfaction)
>she turns downright yandere because of Jenny
I'm still not 100% sure what the purpose of it all was.
But I liked it.

And the Fraser versions has little relation to the karloff version.
Just saw this movie. It wasnt even that bad. The Mummy was hot 2bh. Only thing bothered me was Tom Cruise as the main actor. Cannot wait for other Universal monster movie
Can someone point me the track from the OST with the rolling stones theme orchastrated with the female vocals?
whitewashing
So, what's with the weird double-eyes?
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen crossover? I haven't seen the movie, but please explain
>>83847764
Romance of the Mummy was the original anon, not the Karloff version. And there was another remake after that one that also came before Karloff's version, too.
>peole literally think the remake of the remake was the real original
>>83848329
Actually there's a blink-you-miss-it moment where they show the Book of the Dead from the Fraser movie, implying that the Fraser movie happened in the same universe as the current movie.

Sofia is from Algeria, you memeing dipshit.
whys it rated R ? tits or no tits?
>>83851662
No tits.
A few closeups of barely-covered tits, though.
>>83850519
>Algeria = Egypt
You racist white dog
>>83842531
>no relation whatsoever
It had the book of the dead from the first mummy in Jekylls museum
I had a lot of issues with it, but hyde and the ending as well got me hyped for this monster universe.
I'm a sucker for these kinds of things
Penny Dreadful already did it. And it was way better.
