    Andre "Black Nerd" Review of The Mummy (2017) starring Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, and Russell Crowe. The movie was a box office flop (in the US at least) and critically panned as one of the worst summer movies of 2017. But is it all bad or was it good movie ruined by bad writing and a forced Dark Universe?

  • @tonilarios
    @tonilarios 7 лет назад +14

    as a "Foreigner" to the united states i want to say that the reason why bad hollywood movies like this are such a success is because in most countries national cinema has so low budget that is basically nonexistent or thends to be worse than hollywood or is like those boring movies snobs like to talk about but never actually enjoy or even see more than once.
    Is not that we LIKE those movies is that in many countries is the only movie media people have acces to so they go pay to see it and then refret they did right after the shit fest is over lol

    • @blondbraid7986
      @blondbraid7986 7 лет назад +5

      As a fellow non-American I agree, big budget action movies are virtually non-existent in Sweden, and if you live in Sweden and want to see a movie that isn't a terrible comedy or pretentious drama, Hollywood action movies are pretty much the only option. It doesn't help that any Swedish actor with a shred of talent usually leave to work in Hollywood as soon as they get a chance.

    • @tonilarios
      @tonilarios 7 лет назад +2

      very very true!. In mexico you see the same thing:
      Guillermo del toro, salma hayek, diego luna (cassian andor in rogue one). gael garcia (the guy from the science of sleep) others like the gay farmer guy who dies almost at the end of covenant. the director of Birdman, the revenant and so many other people. Eather you stay in your contry and do very little or be absorbed by hollywood and try to do better.

  • @EVacStation
    @EVacStation 7 лет назад

    I agree with your last point SO hard.
    The Amazing Spider-man films, DC films, and now this are all guilty of pushing their shared-universe concepts way too hard way too quick. As with most American cinema, it lacks subtlety and nuance.
    These studios forget that the Marvel universe push didn't even exist in the first film, save for a post-credits sequence, in Iron Man. It was a fun, stand-alone film to set up the character, and the universe second. And when Marvel reversed their priorities to focus on the universe over the character in the next film (Iron Man 2) it spewed out what was arguably one of the worst films in the Marvel universe. They were able to recover because RDJ still carried the film and it was the first genuine attempt at this shared universe thing, so we didn't have a blueprint for how to do it well yet.
    Since then, MOST films focus on the characters (usually the heroes) before focusing on the shared universe. And the films have, for the most part, been better for it. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 seemed to have no real connection to the overarching plot of the Infinity Stones storyline, but was a very fun and enjoyable film (arguably, one of the best films thus far).
    I think Mummy could have avoided these issues had they focused on just making a good Mummy movie and kept that "Dark Universe" concept in the back pocket for either a sequel or a post-credits scene. Let the film stand on its own merits first before locking into a 22-movie arrangement that will take 10 years and billions in production to orchestrate. Because we don't all have time and money for that, do we? :D

    Yes, The Mummy played by Sofia Boutella should have had more screen time, but Tom insisted on more Cruise-control. Most fans of this film give Tom the half peace symbol

    I just watched this film last night for the first time and honestly , it wasn't that bad at all. I'm actually surprised it has been shitted on so much. It's an entertaining film; nothing more, nothing less.

    • @KeybladeMasterAndy
      @KeybladeMasterAndy 7 лет назад +8

      Ladi Da Yeah, if you ignore the bad stuff.
      Entertaining, it may be, but so was Batman v Superman, and I wouldn't consider either to be examples of how to start a cinematic universe. The Mummy in particular seems more focused on entertaining action and starting a franchise than telling a good story.

    Oh it's a great idea. Universal made this work from '31 to the late '40's with the original Monsters. But they made this a goofy action movie with Tom Cruise for some bizzarre reason. When it says from the LOGO...it supposed to be dark. I wonder if the same writers were on The Lone Ranger, since it had the same problems. Anyway, thanks for watching a turkey for two hours!

    @AshXXMayftw 7 лет назад

    There was only one part I actually liked: the "fight" against Mr. Hyde. Other than that though, nothing else stood out. Even the mummy lacked the presence Imhotep had during the 1999 movie. Now if I were to line out the Dark Universe, here's what I would have done. Scrap The Mummy for now. Go for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde first, set up how he became who he was and how he coped with it. Second movie: Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 2: It's about his discovery of other monsters scattered all across the world. From well known beasts, to not so well known beasts. Not trusting them, he takes it upon himself to form his organization to monitor monster activity across the globe. There could even be little Easter eggs to upcoming films. For instance, maybe there could be a piece of Egyptian tapestry depicting the mummy doing what she did at the beginning of the film. And from there it could expand with The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein, all that good stuff.

  • @DirkSholar
    @DirkSholar 7 лет назад

    When you mentioned the scenes they mimicked from the 1999 Mummy movie like the life absorbing and the dust/smoke/sand demon scene, all that tells me is that the '99 Mummy rules still apply. Especially when they show the Book of Amunra, both of these movies are in the same timeline. To me, that made a huge difference with whether I liked the film or didn't. It's a Tom Cruise Mummy movie. You're not going to Burger King to get Filet Mignon. I saw this movie with low expectation and hearing about how bad the movie is, and I wound up finding more things I liked about it than hating it. This movie compared to another movie that attempted to jump start a cinematic universe prematurely, Batman v. Superman, I feel did a way worse job than The Mummy. At least everything revolved around a single situation with the mummy and Tom Cruise. Yes, Jekyll is in the movie for the Dark Universe, but his character served a purpose for Tom Cruise with both of them dealing with literal inner demons. BvS threw Wonder Woman in there and then took a chunk of the film with the Darkseid nightmare and the Crisis on Infinite Earth reference with the Flash AND the surveillance footage showing off these characters before we even meet them. This movie did a better job telling a story about one event than BvS telling multiple stories with too many characters and yet BvS got 27-32% on RT and this movies gets 15%?

  • @grkpektis
    @grkpektis 7 лет назад +2

    When I was watching the movie I was so excited about the ending because they said Cruise was going to get possesed by Satan himself, so I thought holy shit is satan going to become a universal monster played by Cruise or is Satan going to be the Thanos of this universe. Nope he became Satan for 1 minute and then Satan went away somehow. I hate this POS movie so much

    I don't know if anyone said so, 'cause there's a lotta comments down there, but I've watched it a couple times now, and when she kills the baby, there is a crying sound, but it cuts off sharply as she slices with the knife. So it is crying, but cuts off AS it dies.

    They should have just started with Dracula Untold, then they wouldn't have needed to jam so much into this movie.

    Now I want to see this for that baby scene. lol. Why doesn't Universal just copy what they did in the '30s and '40s? Just introduce each monster in it's own movie, then have them meet up in the sequels.

    I would've preferred a Dark Universe following one lead that connects each movie in an Indiana Jones type deal. An archaeologist who hunts monsters. It's simple, it'd be fun, it allows for variation between different films. As long as the lead is a strong character, it could work. Just make movies about a badass smart mouth who hunts monsters and learns lessons from it. The lead defending a village from the havoc of Frankenstein's monster only to discover it has emotions and instincts, so he's forced to reevaluate life and who's deserving of it, so he's forced to kill Frankenstein's only passion and child. Deep, but could be exciting at the same time. Being forced to decide whether he should kill the wolf man because it can't be contained, or spare the life of a relatively regular man with a wife and children. There are so many themes that could be discovered along with styles of movie making. Horror, mystery, drama, action, period pieces, heist maybe. There's so much that could be done and an awesome new franchise could be born from it. They went the wrong route on this one. I respect the idea though.

    The movie is not the worst it was clearly trying to be like Marvel same thing with DC movies to bring it back all Universal monsters but take out the horror elements just doing an action movies I wouldn't blame Tom Cruise I do love the female mummy version that was pretty cool.

    I actually got the chance to watch the original Mummy movie not too long ago, and it honestly doesn't share that much in common with the Brendan Fraiser remakes. The only similar things are Imhotep being the mummy, and him trying to bring back Anaksunamun. The original is a slow burner, and there's not even really any kills in it.

    I agree. When the frickin' mummy was in the movie it was actually good. Sofia did her job great. I hope she will have more vilianess roles in the future. She has some potential I think.

    Okay... with all this being said, I have realized that there is a way to make this movie forgivable. If Tom Cruise is the new Mummy, let’s get Brendan Fraser to fight him in a sequel.

    Van Helsing , Dracula the Untold Story, and The Mummy(2017) were all suppose to be reboots of the classic Universal monsters, and the start of a series of movies. I love the classic monsters but I just wish they would focus on each film rather then trying to build a cinematic universe.

    If they found a better lady love interest, and actually gave the Mummy more screen time, this movie could have rivaled the previous Mummy movies. I had hopes it would, but it's not a movie I would re-watch again.

    Even though he had no reason to be in the movie other than to shoehorn-in extended universe crap, I did enjoy the fight with Mr. Hyde. That was probably one of the few times I've seen usually (in my opinion) monotone Russel Crowe actually chew the scenery, and in a solo movie he would've made for an effective monster.

    Wasn't expecting this. All I can say is that this movie needed a longer time length.
    Felt too rushed. Not enough character development. Not enough male and female nudity either.
    Also, I want to show some love to my main man Brendan Fraser who had his shit fucked-up too long.
