"Dark Universe" cannot become the next "Marvel Cinematic Universe"

Unintentionally deify Marvel, or use Marvel to step on others, or Tom Cruise, which I like. The script is too formulaic, and the villain is too easy to be killed in seconds. This series of problems in the Marvel movie universe has been criticized. But why so far only Marvel has been steadily fighting all the way, successfully building the world's most profitable movie universe? The audience wants to watch the movie universe, not because Iron Man wants to fight with Captain America to the death, not because the Hulk and Thor can destroy the world, but the audience likes these characters. Only when the audience really falls in love with them, the chemical reaction generated by the interaction between the superheroes will work. A single frame can touch the g-spots of the audience and fans. Among the first stage single-player works of Marvel, only "Steel 1" is a masterpiece of manga that has been unanimously recognized by film critics and fans. "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​received mediocre response, and the box office was not good. But the two films have also successfully portrayed Thor and Steve Rogers' characters, attracting a large number of character fans. Only then has the possibility of forming the "Avengers". The "Dark Universe" of Universal Pictures doesn't understand this at all. Nick Morton, the protagonist played by Atang Ge in "The New Mummy", is unwilling to spend a small amount of pen and ink to dig out or explore his heart and the growth of his characters in the whole movie. I can't really know or understand this character, can't identify and resonate with it, let alone like this character. When Nick met with Dr. Avatar, there was no change in my heart: this person is sei again; when Dr. Avatar ran away, I was even more wondering what caused the director and screenwriter of this film to produce a kind of "audience love to watch" The illusion of two 50-year-old elders fighting together". The heroine played by Annabella Wallis, this emotional drama with Nick is too watery and too bad. This role is the most useless heroine of a blockbuster I have seen recently (especially the memorable after watching "Wonder Woman" only a week ago), plus the actor's facial paralysis throughout the acting skills, I really don't understand Nick's badness. What did the bad old guy think about her? He would give her the parachute the moment the plane crashed. It is indeed the reason why I pay attention to the "Dark Universe" that many big names such as Tom, Croupan, and Depp have been gathered. But if I give up the portrayal of movie characters based solely on the actor's own charm, I will still give up my expectations. Superstar interaction is not the only place in the movie universe. There are so many reality TV shows, and the entertainment effect of others is not worse than your movie universe.

    London is ruined again... Friendship gives Tommy one more star...

    Universal tried to play "Dark Universe" like Marvel DC and stuffed its own monsters into it. It's a pity that the apprenticeship was unfavorable, and the shot was smashed. Although the special effects are great, it is really boring to scare the audience with frequent ghost-heading techniques. Not as good-looking as the old 1932 Mummy. Brother Tom is still able to fight hard, but he still pretends to be a creamy boy at a very old age, and he is a little powerless. The character setting of Russell Crowe's new incarnation of Doctor is also a bit deliberate. two and a half stars
