The Mummy (EXPLORED) 

Me, too, it could have been a good movie, but it failed, showing what has become of the movie industry

I also suggest checking out the mummy films that preceded the Brendan Fraser Mummy films, particularly the original universal film (1932) starring Boris Karloff in the role of the mummy Imhotep, as well as the Hammer Film Productions mummy film that starred Christopher Lee in the role of the mummy Kharis.

The Brendan Fraser Mummy isn't the original, Boris Karloff was THE ORIGINAL.

stainshield well yeah he said he sticks with the Brendan Fraser version

@eating sugar no papa what about Dracula Untold.

Hmm Amunet was an Egyptian goddess. Also, if you want a good movie based in Africa, how about you cast some black folks so it's at least believable

Tom Cruise was THE Problem with The Mummy, because nobody likes his circus midget ass. Universal should have gone for either Jason Ritter, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Matthew Lawrence, Paulo Costanzo, Diego Luna, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eddie Redmayne, Rider Strong, or Justin Long instead of a circus midget pushing 60 and plus those 10 actors are close to age with Annabelle Wallis and they would of had great chemistry with her which was why Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz had such great chemistry together because they were close to age, 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 neither one of them would screw Sofia Boutella over, who is THE Real Star of The Mummy. I heard that Tom Cruise changed the script and made it all about him which I am not surprised at, because R. Lee Ermey said in an interview from 2006 that it was Tom Cruise that destroyed Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. Also if they had gotten one of those 10 actors, you wouldn't have heard so much about bringing Brendan Fraser back. Because think about this, did you hear people tell Columbia Pictures and Disney to bring back either Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man when they cast Tom Holland for the role in Captain America Civil War, not that much and why. Because Tom Holland doesn't come with any baggage like that circus midget does. Also Alex Kurtzman was THE Problem as well since he wanted The Monsters to be Awesome Action Heroes instead of Tragic Villains Of Horror and he didn't wanted Luke Evans' Dracula from Dracula Untold in The Dark Universe.

@@yournamehere4171 You do realise that Egyptians were predominantly white, right? The black people in ancient Egypt were usually slaves... but anyways, the film is not based in Africa.

@@FrenchFry-hi4rn ?? That's what alot of people believe but it's not true ancient Egyptians were dark skinned "black" if you will but even closer to the end of its ages old empire they were still dark skinned but also had people of various pigment from mixing with the Arabs and also aloy of greeks and Romans being therr and having children with the native dark skinned Egyptians. Sorry noy trying to be a dicc just hate that history is always "white washed" .

@@tophergofer9895 Yes the original Egyptians were black. They became gradually whiter over time though, as people from the Middle East were used as slaves (jews for example) and invaders, etc.. In reality they are mixed though

Right!?!?! It would have been awesome of he was his grandson

And the action, and Tom Cruise...

J Fz I agree with you

I agree. It should've focused on the Mummy and Cruise's character [especially since this was supposed to be a part of a big universe] with the secret society working like SHIELD in Marvel and Monarch in the monsterverse do, a presence that's always there and glues all the moves together, but isn't a big part of it themselves till the big Avengers-style movie happened.

So Jenny was a dynamic, 3 dimensional, fleshed out character to you? Wow.

P3891 they where So ripping off Shield

He's still doing good in Doom Patrol

It’s because he had a few bad things happen in his life I believe

FacelessEmperor it's because his wife took his money and kids away

Beat Cruise at what? Look at their overall careers lol

@@strikerbowls791 Brendon Fraiser's mummy was way better than Tom Cruise's.

I've not seen that one. When was it made? I remember the Brendan Fraser one and that was pretty good.

Tom Cruise wrecked The Mummy with his ego.

@@stainshield Not true. Don't blame Cruise

Lol I thought the same thing Mission Impossible with a splash of Egypt and mysticism

Totally underrated, both Van Helsing movies.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a solid 2

@@EvidLekan Damn right.

@Jay marlin yes i thought it was ok. But at the same time very bad

I didn't know how bad this movie was I thought it was one of the good movies out there guess I'm wrong

Booooo he should talk about the mummy with brendan Frasier instead. much better.

shadow wolf you’re not wrong, it’s just your opinion.

I enjoyed the movie. Nothing wrong with a bullshit action movie.

I liked Dracula Untold as a matter of fact I enjoyed The Mummy as well. People are too fussy these days. Hi back and watch movies from the sixties. That'll give you a proper perspective. Last 20-30 years of "special effects" have spoiled people.

I liked both of those movies and it would have been better if they hadn't tried so hard to create a cinematic universe and made them each a stand alone movie with a short after credits scene building up to it rather than just trying to force it from the get go

Wait they were both gonna be in the same universe? Omg coming from someone that liked both that would have been so cool a like mythical darker evil type avengers haha thatd be cool

I really enjoyed Dracula Untold. And if anything it should be Dracula who forms that secret society.

Dracula Untold should have been THE 1st film for The Dark Universe.

Yes he was the problem and he even wrecked Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut according to what R. Lee Ermey said in an interview from 2006. Universal should have gone for either Jason Ritter, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Matthew Lawrence, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paulo Costanzo, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne, Rider Strong, or Justin Long. Because one of those 10 would of had great chemistry with Annabelle Wallis being how they are close to age with her and also there was no need to get that circus midget if The Mummy was going to be female.

I agree 💯

Sofia Boutella was the best part of that film.

She's been in a fair few movies as of late, Kingsman 1, Star Trek Beyond, Atomic Blonde and Hotel Artemis that I can think of.

No. No you don't he fuking ruined this movie.

Brie Larson may be triggered that a man does his own stunts. Apparently.

Chester Abellera I hear she’s triggered by simply existing

@@P3891 Bingo ahahaha

Hello again remember me becouse i do! We like very same videos 🤣

Blackest night is one of the best green lantern stories out there. I love it! I will add it to the list and see if I can do it like my old series of comic narrations down the track

FilmComicsExplained that would be simply amazing!! It’s also one of mine, I still remember the booth at comic con when they dropped it. “Brightest Day, in Blackest Night; No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my power: Green Lantern's LIGHT!”

Yes he was the problem.

A theory I have is that he didn't give in willingly for the sacrifice as well the reminder of the death of his partner. Another theory I have is that the gem was cracked and may have not had the full power over him as it would have initially which still left a part of his being alive as the god entered his body.

The comic, not the movie lol

@@anodosarcade7355 both 😇

I think they ended it after this movie flopped

Megatron 95 it’s a bogeyman of bad films the more we speak of it the power it gains

@@jamesonweimann4720 it would have done well if Tom Cruise's circus midget ass wasn't in the film.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se!

@@bulldozer9451 ah. I see that your a man of culture as well

Exactly. I fully concur

😂😩😇....me too

Just watch the original black and white monster films. There's your Dark Universe

The Ultimate IRIS I wish that Mads Mikkelsen or Sebastian Stan or Daniel Bruhl as Dracula

@@Megatron_95 That works. I also recommend checking out some of the classic horror films from Hammer Film Productions, such as The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Horror of Dracula (1958), and the Mummy (1959).

As well as The Cleaners from Underworld and Universal's Saturday Morning Cartoon Monster Force which came out in 1994 alongside with ExoSquad.

He is a stale stiff wooden actor who is a one trick pony and the only reason he got were he is today was because of his good looks, because he was that guy every man wanted to be like and that guy every woman wanted to be with. If you saw Stranger things Season 1 where Steve told Nancy that he would take her out for a movie to watch Risky Business to see her crush and in Season 2 Steve was dressed up as Tom Cruise's character from that movie. I am not surprised that Tom Cruise wrecked The Mummy with his ego, because R. Lee Ermey even said that Tom Cruise destroyed Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. Universal should have gone for either Jason Ritter, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paulo Costanzo, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne, Matthew Lawrence, Rider Strong, or Justin Long instead of a fucking circus midget like Tommy Boy who is pushing 60. Because one of those 10 would of had better chemistry with Annabelle Wallis being how they are close to age with her, whereas Tom Cruise 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. Chemistry is important, that was why Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz did well and also if Universal had gotten one of those 10 actors that I mentioned, neither one of those 10 would have done Sofia Boutella dirty and you wouldn't have heard bring back Brendan Fraser as much. Because think about this, did you hear people say bring back either Andrew Garfield or Tobey Maguire when Columbia Pictures and Disney Studios cast Tom Holland as Spider-Man in Captain America Civil War for The MCU, not that much and why. Because Tom Holland doesn't carry any baggage with him like Tom Cruise who jumped on a couch during The Oprah Winfrey Show or belongs to a toxic cult.

Yikes. Have you even watched any of his films outside the mummy?

It was horror, but Tommy Boy changed it to action and made it all about him.

yes originally it was going to be a horror film that was meant to scare The living daylights out of people and then it was turned into a mission impossible style action film which in hindsight was a mistake. Still want them to remake The mummy yet again and make it a film that is genuinely frightening. I want it to be rated r I want it to be a low budget horror film and I want it to be designed to scare the living crap out of people.

I still want that as well, I see it could've been, the dark universe as it was envisioned, a spiritual successor to what Sean Connery's movie, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was , a collection of classic horror, scifi and adventure novel characters coming together to form a secret society that protects the world with their misunderstood gifts, skills and revolutionary technology.

That too as well as Tom Cruise being the problem
