The Brandon Frasier movie worked because it was not a comedy or an action movie. It was an *adventure* movie. Sort of like the original Indiana Jones movies.

Andrew exactly. It was the perfect blend of horror, humor and action. Especially the 2nd one. The scorpion King thing was stupid but everything before the final act was dope.

Universal should have done this Monster/Dark Universe in similar fashion to the tv-show ''Penny Dreadful''.As a drak,gritty,atmospheric,gothic horror-drama,set in Victorian England or maybe after WW I,with more emphasis on characters,*not* as a Michael Bay/Roland Emmerich style CGI-fest.

i these days i had an idea of a "SNK cinematic universe", i think it's a good idea. (i am brazillian, i don't know very much about it).

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

No, it's not a bad idea, it's just not being done really well. Not sure opening with the Mummy was a smart move nor was writing it with the intent of it being a shared universe, it really should be more organic. I really think it should've been told from the POV of a group of monster hunters and maybe start with a movie about them.

[@ramenbowlproductions9479]

I knew this was going yo suck when they released the mummy's 2nd trailer. The mummy is supposed to be a horror! Not an action. Even the 1999 mummy got this right.

[@frankyramone]

James, Guillermo Del Toro is scheduled to direct a Frankenstein movie for Universal. Whenever it happens Doug Jones is going to be the monster. I think it'll be great. Del Toro has immense respect for the originals and we know he knows how to make a good movie.

[@ljones121]

Franky Ramone hopefully del toro will be busy beforehand​ filming at the mountains​ of madness so that a true master of horror can be seen on the big screen big budget

[@nicholasperl]

MyScorpion42 If you want to remake a classic, at least make it worth watching.

[@leonkenedy2988]

Exactly, at least they have to tried something new in the remake and make it worth watching. The way they switch the antagonist role around in this Mummy movie is a welcome change in pace. But they have to ruin it with their incompetent mind.

[@daltonwilliams1723]

That's ludicrous. If it really is that bad people just forget about the new one and keep watching the original. Making a bad reinvention doesn't "destroy it's legacy". You tried, ya failed. Learn from the past and try again

[@leandromafe]

I dunno, it definetely showed a lot of the signs of a bad movie, but I had to watch the trailer many times because I went to the movies so much these past few weeks and I always thought: this looks like it's gonna be shit, but if they play their cards right, it has potential. These days trailers are not representative of movies anymore.

[@thatcomicnerd3354]

sandiman21 DC movie? Dude DC's on a role right now because of Wonder Woman, so not even the Mummy fits in. This movie would fit with the other bad monster remakes (wolf man 2010, Dracula untold, etc.)

Van Helsing was a very underrated movie. If it had been released a few years later if would have done much better. Nearly a perfect Universal Monsters Movie, I honestly wouldn't mind a re-tooled remake of Van Helsing at some point. It could have easily led to a whole cinematic universe.

[@KombatGod]

I know James is not a fan of point-and-click games, but whenever I hear him talk about the Universal monsters I keep thinking he should play Hollywood Monsters. Maybe with a guide at hand to solve the moon logic puzzles, but he would get all the references, like when they say that the Mummy and Frankenstein's monster look alike, which is a reference to Boris Karloff playing both characters. The only problem is that it apparently only came out in Spain and Italy (which is a shame, since it's one of my alltime favourite games in the genere), but I think you can play with English subtitles.

[@EpicMickey777]

pathosis well no. Not just that. There was also House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula.

[@JMBoote1]

One of the reasons I adore the 1999+ Mummy movies are because they actually set them in roughly the same era as the original Universal Mummy movies (the 1999 Mummy taking place in the mid 1920's, The Mummy Returns being set in the early 1930's, and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in the 1940's). With this new movie, they just made it the present-day, which is really tiring to see in updated classics, where they just set it in the present time. It's not only bad, but it lacks any sort of identity.

[@joeyk3134]

this mummy was extremely guilty of doing all the stereotypical female villain moves

[@B0st0nBru1ns]

[@lemonslice2233]

Yeah, that "Mirror, mirror on the wall" scene was atrocious.

I love the thumbnail. James is like "what the fuck is this movie" and Mike is like "told ya".

I really like 2010's Wolfman. I wish they would of kept that tone.

it was ok. The problem I had was it was way too dark in every scene...I had to turn up my brightness. I also just kept seeing Hopkins as Hannibal.
