Can the dark universe be created by dimming the picture and letting the heroine wear a black bra? Director, don't worry, I'll hold down the coffin of the mummy.
--------Synopsis--------
Nick and Weir went on a trip to Iraq and planned to buy some local specialties to take back as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, the manhole cover was stolen on the way, and they stumbled and fell in.
Only then did they discover that someone had fallen in and died for a long time, and they had a history of several thousand years. It seems that this manhole cover is not stolen in a day or two. At the same time, it also teaches us to look at the road and not just look at the mobile phone when we walk, otherwise it will be dug up thousands of years later. Interestingly, the deceased's body was covered with toilet paper, which made me fall into deep contemplation.
It turned out that the deceased was named Anmanite, a princess of Egypt. Because I stayed up all night to play with mobile phones, I have serious dark circles and also cause vision loss.
Once her father confiscated her mobile phone and told her to go to bed earlier, but she killed the whole family in a fit of anger. If she was obedient and didn't use her mobile phone while walking, she wouldn't have died so miserably.
Before Nick had time to commit a crime to the female corpse, Jenny appeared. Jenny: Nick, today is "69 Festival", don't you consider giving me some gifts? Believe it or not, I will make it public that you can only hold on for 15 seconds.
Nick’s response was: In this case, I will send you a coffin.
Jenny is very happy, after all, the coffin will be bought sooner or later, and the price is not cheap. Next, Nick, Weir, and Jenny played a game of "Grave Head Jumping Di", and then got on the plane contentedly, and took away Ammanite's coffin.
On the plane, Nick, who was idle and bored, started bragging: "You may not believe it. I know people in the Avengers and the Justice League."
Weir expressed disdain and rolled his eyes at him.
Nick was annoyed by this emoji, and then shot the opponent three times in a row.
At this time, Universal Pictures announced that it would create a "dark universe". The Dark Knight became unhappy and released a group of bats to attack the protagonist, causing the plane to fall from the sky. Nick survived miraculously, unscathed. If you really want to say what was lost, that is, the clothes are gone.
Jenny asked Nick about the secret of escape. Nick said it was difficult to explain to her and told her to watch "Mission Impossible 5" by herself.
After that, Nick always had hallucinations, such as seeing his dead friend, and even fantasizing about doing indescribable things with him in the women’s bathroom.
In addition, he always fantasizes about himself and Anmanite appearing in the desert.
Like previous Hollywood blockbusters, Anmanite can also speak fluent English. The orangutans in "Rise of the Apes" and the aliens in "Guardians of the Galaxy" both speak English. What's weird about Ammanite's mummy who can speak English?
It is worth mentioning that in the scene of Anna Knight in the desert, it is obvious that the nail polish and eye shadow are blue, and I don't know what it has to do with Apocalypse.
Nick is lonely and unbearable, and wants to start a relationship with Ann Manette. The thousands-year-old old aunt is not letting go. She is really a good boy who is not picky. It's no wonder the body is so strong. Then Nick went to meet the netizen and stared at her, making Anmanite uncomfortable: What are you looking at? Do I have words on my face?
Nick: You do have words on your face.
Seeing that Nick was so naughty, Ann Manette stripped his clothes impatiently and took out a big knife to insert it, but this move made Natural Attack Nick feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Jenny appeared in time to alleviate the embarrassment. She and Nick rode in a small yellow car and started to flee.
Ann Manette blocked the way, Nick had to take out the stick and prepare to whipping her, but she broke Nick's stick with a punch.
Next, Dr. Henry took advantage of the fisherman's profit and captured Nick, Jenny, and Amnett. Henry is a trembling S. He has collected many tools for SM. At the same time, he also likes to practice. If he doesn't agree with him, he will play SM with Anmanite, and constantly shoot a liquid into her body.
Anmanite said it was painful, so he had to cast a spell to control Henry's subordinate Pete, who rolled his eyes and then released Anmanite. Combining Weir's previous experience, we can sum up the following experience: When you meet someone around you who love to roll your eyes (or like to send a "rolling eyes" emoji), just kill Ta directly, because Ta is very likely to be controlled by the mummy.
Ann Manette used his skills to summon the sandstorm, and all the people who were familiar with the haze survived, and the foreigners who fought with the five scums all received the lunch box, and Nick and Jane were saved by entering a reservoir in time. Seeing the two taking a mandarin duck bath, Anmanite, a single dog, was very upset and wanted to join in. In the end, Nick and Jane killed her by showing her affection.
Jenny staged a wet temptation, and the black bra was clearly visible. I am very puzzled about this: If you dim the picture and arrange for the heroine to wear a black bra, can you create a "dark universe"?
Jenny was so angry at the host's complaint that Nick took the opportunity to kiss her. The half-dead Jenny suddenly remembered that Nick could only hold on for 15 seconds, and was so scared that she came back to life again.
At the end of the movie, Jenny sent Nick a good person card (actually, the good person card was sent halfway, now it is a flashback). Seeing that he could no longer ride Jenny, Nick had no choice but to ride a horse.
(Made up) Easter eggs:
Superman learns that Tom has beaten his father and will revenge soon.
--------Film Critic--------
This film is a restart version of "The Mummy", the style is quite different from the previous one. "The Mummy" in 1999 took the route of adventure and fantasy, while the restart version of "The New Mummy" took the route of horror.
It has long been heard that Universal Pictures will create a "dark universe" and will release three films within two years. Among them, "The New Mummy" is the first part of the series, and the second film will be released in 2018, "Franken "The Bride of Stan" will be released in 2019.
Since Marvel Pictures opened the "Marvel Universe", it has attracted countless gold and fans, and major film companies have followed suit, such as the magic universe of "Harry Potter" and "Where are Fantastic Beasts", "King Arthur" and "Stone The Celtic mythical universe of "Sword", the monster universe of "Godzilla" and "King Kong: Skull Island", the Star Wars universe, the X-Men universe...
Of course, they are not necessarily learning from Marvel, but what is certain is that they all want to replicate the success of Marvel.
Originally, "Resident Evil 6" hit the streets in North America, and the box office in one month was only 26.55 million US dollars. As a result, the box office in China was 30.3 million US dollars in one day, which exceeded the total box office in North America for a month, directly resurrecting the project. The producer immediately claimed to have made another six-part program, and the project is progressing rapidly, and it has been confirmed that Wen Ziren will be the producer.
"Fast and Furious 8" released this year is also mediocre, but the box office has exceeded the $1 billion mark and entered the top 20 in movie history.
Last year's "Star Wars 7" was also mediocre, but the box office exceeded 2 billion US dollars, ranking third in movie history, second only to "Avatar" and "Titanic."
There are countless similar examples. At present, there are 30 movies with a global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars. Only "Avatar", "Titanic", "Jurassic World", "Frozen", "Beauty and the Beast", "Jurassic Park", " The eight films of Alice in Wonderland and Zootopia are not sequels of the big IP. Among them, "Jurassic World" and "Beauty and the Beast" still have the light of IP.
It seems that the quality of the current movie itself is not the most important, as long as there is a big IP, it can make a lot of money.
Let’s take "Star Wars" as an example. There was "Star Wars 7" the year before, "Rogue One" last year, "Star Wars 8" this year, "Han Solo Gaiden" next year, and "Star Wars 9" the next year. ……Almost at the rate of one movie per year, and Disney CEO also revealed that the IP of Star Wars will be at least another 15 years.
I am embarrassed to tell others that I am making a movie without holding a few IPs.
Of course, IP is right, the key is not to overwhelm the guests, the quality of the film itself is still important. As far as "The New Mummy" is concerned, the quality is obviously not good enough.
The 2008 "Mummy 3" was bad enough. I thought "The New Mummy" would not be worse. I didn't expect director Alex to still complete this difficult task.
It’s not surprising to combine Alex’s experience before filming "The New Mummy". In 2013, he was the producer of Paramount’s "Star Trek: Diablo Unbounded", and in 2014 he was the producer of Sony’s "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". Filmmaker, worked as a producer for Lionsgate’s "Now You See Me 2" in 2016...
It seems that on the one hand, he hasn't been a director, so he just shoots and shoots casually; on the other hand, it may be sent by other film companies to make trouble.
The visual effects of "The New Mummy" are quite mediocre, there are few brilliant shots, and the essence is all in the trailer. I don’t know where all the $125 million investment was spent. Is it all used to buy toilet paper for the mummy? Or is it used to buy SM props?
The quality of the movie has nothing to do with the scene, but it took three times the cost of "Resident Evil 6" to make it worse than "Resident Evil 6," and the "Mummy" became "Mulan". This is a bit unreasonable.
In addition, there are frequent horror scenes in the movie. This was originally no problem, but the promotion did not say that it was a thriller. Everyone came with the mentality of watching a popcorn movie. As a result, Finally, I was so scared that I knocked the popcorn over.
It just so happens that today high school students just finished the college entrance examination and watched a Hollywood blockbuster to relax and adjust their emotions. Aren't you afraid to scare them to repeat the course, the director?
Although the producer is to create a "dark universe", this film is all about the darkness that floats on the surface, and there is no such humanity and inner darkness as "The Dark Knight", "V-Vendetta" and "Harry Potter".
For dark movies, it is not enough to dim the picture and then arrange the heroine to wear a black bra, but to work hard on the connotation of the film.
As for the connotation and plot, it is worse than the visual effects. A very simple story, in order to pave the way for the "dark universe", a lot of lengthy content has been added, and the story has not been told clearly in the end.
I personally think that the integrity of the movie is very important. Every movie in the series should have a full stop at the end, not a comma. For example, "Wonder Woman" is currently being screened. When talking about Wonder Woman, I will talk about Wonder Woman. It will not be foreshadowing, nor will it add some content that has nothing to do with the plot in order to link with the DC universe, or even to ensure The integrity of the movie did not even shoot the easter eggs (in fact, DC movies usually don't have easter eggs).
The director of "The New Mummy" was too ambitious, wanted everything, and finally got nothing.
Speaking of "Mission Impossible 6", Tom wants to fight Superman, shouldn't this be considered part of the "dark universe"?
