Let's start with a joke, isn't the daughter really played by Ivanka Trump?
Written at the front: no easter eggs, no deletions , 4 minutes less than the United States is a trailer, the plot is very simple, the thousand-year-old man has been sucked dry without success. Then I was stunned the whole time, trying to play the mystery in the cloak of ancient Egypt, but even the most basic mummy setting collapsed.
Universal wants to create a dark monster universe, but wants to eat a big fat man in one go. He wants to talk too much, and there is no foreshadowing. It does not give the audience time to react. The emotional line is completely inexplicable, and the relationship between the characters is chaotic. The characters of Russell and Tom It's even more funny, in addition to knowing that Russell is possessed by a demon and has a dual personality, Tom can at least fly sand and stone, teleport, etc. The whole movie does not know why.
Text: Seeing that Disney is making a lot of money with Marvel, Warner’s DC Universe is getting better, Fox’s sword is swaying and relying on mutants to play steadily, and Universal can’t hold back the entire Dark Universe series. It was originally a good IP. After all, it is rare to use monsters as the protagonists, and the popularity of mummies, vampires, Frankenstein, werewolves, etc. is even wider than that of some American comic heroes. However, as the pioneering work of the dark universe, "The New Mummy" really confirms that sentence: too big a step is easy to pull eggs.
Friendly reminder, if you are a big fan of The Mummy in 1999, don't watch this movie, because you will vomit blood. This is no longer an adventure thriller, but a zombie London war.
There are so many loopholes in the plot of the film that it would be too complicated to tell them all. Let me talk about some of the most unbearable ones. The first one is the ability setting of Princess Mummy. She is sitting on dark magic in London. Who knows how many thousands of years ago she was actually subdued by a few soldiers. Thousands of words wanted to get Tom's approval, but ended up being sucked dry by Tom. Honestly, this is the worst female chasing man I've ever seen.
The setting of the mummy is also very similar to that of the zombie: it runs like a mad dog; it is not afraid of bullets; it is infected by the mother. Brother, you are mummies, can you be more professional, a little bandage or something? Once again, Tom showed the temperament of a godless man. The plane fell unscathed. He was hit in the woods and flew to heaven and fell unscathed. His legs were interrupted in the last battle and he could still drain the female boss. Although I admire Tom's courage in the "Mission: Impossible" series without a stand-in, at least it conforms to the basic laws of physics, biology, and chemistry.
In fact, Universal wants to rely on the dark monster universe to compete with other companies' movie universes, which is already inferior in terms of theme. Superheroes save the world, a heartwarming theme movie. Movies that use monsters as protagonists cannot make wars of evil and justice, and can only make monsters both good and evil, such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", although they look evil, they are actually good people in their bones. Therefore, the female second kept sending good cards to Tom, and Universal seemed to want to use her mouth to tell people that although we are a monster movie, they are not low-value and kind-hearted. There is nothing to say, this is the behavior of a bitch who wants to be a part-time prostitute.
Let’s talk about the setting of the impressive characters first. Sophia Poulter, who plays the mummy princess, has a self-destructive and charming appearance. The shape of the blade killer in “The Secret Service” is nothing compared to this time. But I still want to complain, the image of Apocalypse Lei in "X-Men" has been sprayed to pieces, not to say that we Egyptians are killing Matt. We also have Cleopatra, so there is no need to deliberately vilify the mummy princess for the sake of scaring people. Look at the Mystique played by Jennifer Lawrence. The body is also ugly, but the setting of others is deformed. The world learns well.
Brother Tom is completely unpleasant, self-righteous, disobedient to discipline, stealing cultural relics, just like an image of a veteran playboy in the love scene. Then in the second half of the story, he fell madly in love with Jenny, and went through fire and water to become a monster for her. This emotional scene is as defenseless as Tommy taking off his clothes, in order to sell meat to attract female audiences, and for the development of the plot, let them be together.
I feel sorry for the old actors of the Russell generation. The actor who has won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Academy Award and the Saturn Award in this film plays a rambling, kind and evil incarnation Doctor in this film. Although he is slack and eloquent in this film, he is very accurate before and after his inner transformation, but the characters lack connotation. In the whole film, he still does not understand which organization he belongs to, who is he, and where does his super power come from?
As for the second female, it reminds me of Jing Tian in "King Kong Skull Island", completely a vase. She claims to be a female scientist, but she doesn't have the rigor of a science student at all. Every shot is spotless, and she doesn't even see a trace of dirt on her face when she ends up in the sewer. Arguably a very failed character
The whole movie also has special effects, and watching IMAX is worth the fare. There are several scenes in the film that are very exciting. The opening scene is a fierce gun battle. In the desert villages of Iraq, bullets and bombs fly horizontally, the explosions fly off the gravel, and the scenes of explosions and cracks are very exciting. obvious.
Then there is the scene where the crows swarm into the plane and fall into the plane.
Then came the mummy dust storm that swept the city of London. Indoors, halls, buildings, etc., the glass in any place will turn into slag in seconds, sweeping the sky and covering everything, almost breaking the screen, and then the picture of the sandstorm overturning the whole city, it is worth noting that the face in the sand should be a classic. pay tribute.
The whole plot and characters are quite satisfactory, and there are not many bright spots. The big scenes are in line with the Hollywood assembly line level. Tom does his due diligence, and Russell and Sophia perform superbly. As the pioneering work that led to the dark universe, it can be said to be barely passing. The theme of the original mummy suspense adventure has been changed to horror and dark. Nothing to say, look forward to how Universal's future works will fill the hole.
