Pfft, way to make your movie sound worse .

 

[ItIsOkBro]

They posted an inside look featurette, loaded with new footage, and it looks way more interesting than what the trailer showed.

Ok this looks good

 

[TAJ]

But there's nothing to blow up if you don't set it in a major city.

That was likely their actual reasoning for it, lol.

 

[Purkake4]

Where dat soul at tho?

Cruise is no Fraser

 

[Raptor]

Some good news: Dracula Untold is not canon.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Movie wasn't great but even Mummy 3 had a decent aesthetic and music.

Enchantressssssssssssssss

Enchantress was far more cool/creepy looking though

 

[Ushay]

Not bad.. not bad at all.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Can't wait to watch this on TNT in 2 years.

 

[hydruxo]

Yeah looks way better.

Also, it's kind of weird that they're using the Light of the Seven track from GoT season 6 in that featurette.

 

[DragonSworne]

People actually liked the Fraser mummy movies? I think I entered another parallel universe.

At least it wasn't modern day, though.

Bit more interested after that clip.

1st is a classic. I legitimately liked Scorpion King and 3 over 2 though.

Also loved

As a kid but it came and went far too quickly.

 

[SJRB]

wait so how did he survive?

I suppose we've reached a point where people get confused when a movie trailer doesn't give away the entire plot.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Wat

Noooo

 

[Lashley]

Ehhh, it looked alright.

I'll go see it on saver tuesdays, since a tickets £3

 

[Busty]

I'm going to guess (and that's all it is) that Cruise's character is able to survive the plane crash because he's a descendant of

Spoiler

Van Helsing..., or something.

.

And the last line of the film will be

Spoiler

"..., yes, but my mother's maiden name was Van Helsing."

An

Awesom-O

Production.

Is that an unpopular opinion? How the hell do people not like the best Indiana Jones movies that aren't Indiana Jones? Between Mummy 1 and 2 and Deep Rising, Stephen Sommers was on a mean streak of great schlocky fun action adventure/horror movies.

 

[Mokujin]

Tone is completely different from Mummy 1 & 2 which I loved (3 was an aberration), but I have enjoyed all Cruise movies lately, so will watch.

I saw the original and it was mediocre. I didn't bother with the second, since I heard it was more of the same.

According to that Kurtzmann interview,

Cruise's character doesn't survive the plane crash and there are curse shenanigans that bring him back

Hell even Stephen Sommers' Van Helsing is a guilty pleasure every now and then.

It's a reboot of the original Mummy not the Brendan Fraser Mummy trilogy.

 

[zma1013]

I thought The Suicide Squad already beat this chick?

This looks pretty awesome actually.

Mummy 1 and Deep Rising are great.

Sommers has such a...mean sense of humor.

What happens to Benny at the end of Mummy.
That guy who runs out of bullets in Deep Rising.

Part 2 was decent-ish.
Never saw part 3

Hell even Stephen Sommers' Van Helsing is a guilty pleasure every now and then.

Dracula and the Frankenstein monster were the worst part of that movie.

The werewolf/Van Helsing was great.
The brides were fucking A1. Live action Demonas.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Not impressed

 

[Count Dookkake]

Dracula and the Frankenstein monster were the worst part of that movie.

The bolded is some bullshit.

That was a great FM.

I could take or leave Frankenstein's monster, he worked for the movie
But yeah hated that Dracula. Would have been a great opportunity for a

Castlevania style Dracula(over the top certainly but not complete camp.)

Werewolf design is probably my favorite of all time though, Van Helsing his gear and the setting looked incredible.
Brides were also great.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I like tom cruise and all, but this looks like a steaming pile of mediocre try hard shit.
So humour and adventure are out of the window in this one no?

 

[Kazuhira]

I don't know if it will good movie or not,but the only thing i'm certain is that i don't like change of tone.
1st movie is a classic and it will never be topped.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Even still, they tried to do that with the Fraser movies.

Not sure why they should stop now.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I think it's worth noting that both the 1932 original, and the 1999 reboot both felt unique and part of the Universal Monsters family.

This looks tepid, unoriginal, and unrelated. Modern day doesn't help at all.

 

[Bishop89]

That looked fucking terrible, but at least those Cruise screams were hysterical

Also, another reminder of what we all let happen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dX5fO5PWLY

I'm unhappy now

 

[mr_nexus]

It looks like a generic Tom Cruise action movie that happens to have a mummy in it.

 

[-shadow-]

Never saw part 3

While no where near as good as the original I personally still enjoyed it a lot. Aesthetics are amazing, great cast (though Weisz being recast is unforgivable), enjoyable new setting and some amazing punchlines. The problem is that the film falls completely apart at the halfway point. The yeti's are ridiculous, the transformation into a three headed dragon is just bizarre and the chemistry between Fraser and what's her name is non existent.

I do have to say that they fleshed out the character a lot, there's some actual family drama this time around it they do feel like they're a close family that had a bit of a falling out because of circumstances. It's a shame that the movie didn't get a bit extra work on the script because it really could've been amazing.

Well that and the story is basically Uncharted 2 which is amazing.

Damn man, this is hard to watch.

 

[Hidden One]

Sorry, but the enchantress wannabe is no match for badass Ancksanamun

Oh hell yeah my man!

 

[shintoki]

With Weizz and Velasquez bringing the heat in the Mummy series... Many first boners were had. The new girl just seems... weak.

 

[hateradio]

It looks interesting kinda.

[TAJ]

Damn man, this is hard to watch.

Yikes. I want to run into him just so I can tell him how awesome I think he is.

 

[Toothless]

Ugh, I really hope Courtney B. Vance survives the first act, but judging off that trailer, probably not.

 

[Kalentan]

They posted an inside look featurette, loaded with new footage, and it looks way more interesting than what the trailer showed.

That does look a lot better.

 

[ronaldthump]

curious. Thought this was a mummy reboot but its nothing like it.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Man now im craving a rewatch of Mummy 1.

 

[Megawarrior]

Sorry, but the enchantress wannabe is no match for badass Ancksanamun

I wanted to be her. She was amazing.

 

[Kurt Angle]

tom cruise can sell me on anything

this looks much better than the trailer.

Guess it was just a boring cut.

 

[torre_avenue]

So...

The whole reason they cast Sofia Boutella is because this is totally leading to some sort of Monster Squad-League of Extraordinary Gentleman type movie, right?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I always wonder why Universal never tried a Scorpion King sequel with Rock and instead let it go straight to DVD for like 5 movies.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

curious. Thought this was a mummy reboot but its nothing like it.

It's a reboot of the original Mummy black and white film, not the Brendan Fraser series (which was a reboot itself).

 

[Branduil]

Hell even Stephen Sommers' Van Helsing is a guilty pleasure every now and then.

Ehhhhh no. That movie is utterly brain-dead dreck. I still LOL at the thought of the last scene where Van Helsing sees dead people in the sky while Frankenstein's monster rides a raft into the ocean or wherever.
