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 RUclips reviews of THE MUMMY suggested that exact idea, and it did my heart good to see Hollywood listening to common sense for once.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
“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
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.
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.
JoBlo Videos 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.
“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!🎶
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
• 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_ ?)
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]
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.
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.
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.
"Mummified her alive" is like saying "Embalmed her to life". If a studio wants to build a cinematic universe, the scripts have to NOT be written by middle school students using crayons.
I don't think anybody thought about this, but considering how Egyptian characters are usually played by non-Egyptian/North African actors, it was cool to see Sofia Boutella play the mummy, since she's of North African descent. I've always liked seeing movies portray things as authentically as possible. Egypt itself is religiously strict and may not have allowed any of their actresses to wear what she wore, even in an American film, and there aren't many Egyptian-American actresses. Note: Rami Malek (Mr. Robot, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Witcher for 10 seconds) is also 2nd generation Egyptian-American, both parents being immigrants.
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.
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.
I like the mummy, In think that having an action horror movie it’s not that bad. The history with Egypt and Mesopotamia makes me go back in time hahaha.
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...:|''
Where does that scream come from? I cant find it, i just end up with the wilhelm scream, i hear it all the time in video's and can't find that haunting painful scream.
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.
Rather than destroy a monster that we want to never see again, we want to keep it hiding in the basement and make it very obvious when you walk by to notice it, and bring it home...

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.

The biggest problem is it the film became a Tom Cruise movie instead of being what it set out to be, the start of their new franchise
I like the mummy, In think that having an action horror movie it’s not that bad. The history with Egypt and Mesopotamia makes me go back in time hahaha.
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...:|''
Altered Beast reference for the win
You should have used that clip of taichibana's weird scream from Kamen Rider Blade
I still enjoyed the movie. Tom Cruise was great fun. This is what he could've been during his whole career. Instead, he gave us great classics
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.
Where does that scream come from? I cant find it, i just end up with the wilhelm scream, i hear it all the time in video's and can't find that haunting painful scream.
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.
Rather than destroy a monster that we want to never see again, we want to keep it hiding in the basement and make it very obvious when you walk by to notice it, and bring it home...
This is the only version of the movie i need
13:24 Actually, Russell Crowe's "Gods and monsters" line made me think of the Lana Del Rey song of the same name ;)
