dracula untold was trash though :\ damnit
I kind of enjoyed Dracula Untold lol. Then again, I tend to enjoy most vampire movies (not named Twilight) on some level.
As for the trailerâŠ
I donât mind that they took the fun tone out of it. If youâre going to reboot a franchise thatâs essentially supposed to be horror or horror-adjacent, having a more serious tone isnât the worst thing in the world, and I say that as someone that enjoyed the Brendan Fraser movies.
That said, this didnât look compelling at all. There was nothing interesting or intriguing about the trailer,. nothing that grabbed me or thrilled me or made me want to go see that crazy little porcelain doll Tom Cruise battle a powerful being from the afterlife. There was no hook. No soul. No real mood created beyond âit seems more serious than the Fraser movies.â Just Cruise cruising around some okay-ish action sequences and then a mummy.
Iâll wait until I see a bit more, but so far it looks like a pass.
you werent interested when he died and came back to life? i mean its obvious its mummy related but what kind of mummy curse brings someone who died nearby back to life.
Is it connected to the other mummy movie?
Not this one. For this particular Mummy movie, it happens to be a REBOOT of the 1st original one.
it wasnt the mummy that resurrected tom cruise, it was xenu! im sorry, i just had to go there lol.
anyway, if they were gonna do another mummy movie they shouldve gone the route of a serious horror movie. they couldve done so much with it, make it creepy, make it dark and grim, and go for the rated R. but, its obvious they were going for the cash cow route. tom cruise as nutty as he is, is still a good actor imo. i think it wouldve been interesting to see him in an actual horror setting but oh well
Not sure how youâre going to âreadâ it, though. Itâs a movie, not a novel.
really? i could have sworn there was a book firstâŠmaybe it was an adaptation. usually there is a book first then a movie
Not always. Most films back then were based on existing novels, like Dracula and Frankenstein. But some were not.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon was an original movie, and so was The Mummy (it was only based on the recent discovery of Tutankhamunâs tomb), as well as The Wolf Man.
Well, both remakes are pretty meh. I highly recommend watching the original with Boris Karloff, just because it is immensely creepy.
Actually they had with Benecio Del Toroâs. It wasnât bad. In some ways it was better than the original movie with Lon Chaney Jr.
