Eye-warming is a common problem of human beings. Since the birth of private ownership in the Stone Age, when you see that others have something you don't have, you will inevitably be "envious, jealous, and hate" in your heart. From this perspective, there is little difference between Universal Pictures and the ancestor cavemen. Iron Man is like the singularity of the Marvel universe. After the big bang, it did not stop its expansion. Fans were spread from all corners of the earth to the Milky Way. So Global, which holds a lot of IP resources, also began to sing the heroic song, the so-called "You have it, I have it all." If you Marvel engages in the League of Legends, then we will raise a group of monsters in the dark universe.
And the first one released after the door was closed was the once prominent mummy.
However, the darling of rebirth is a mummy, and the one who was killed by his mother, Universal, was also a mummy. Brandon Fisher and Rachel Weisz finally fumbled in the desert for many years and formed the love CP. The third heroine substitution now seems to be a complete foul game. It's not that actors have to accompany an IP to the end, after all, there are various force majeure factors.
But just as the "Prison Break" heroine's pregnancy is a devastating blow to the continuity of the series and the audience's emotional line, you can imagine the change of Hermione in the middle of the "Harry Potter" series, or the face of the black widow in the next "Avengers" NS?
It can only be said that Universal underestimated the chemical effect of Rachel Weisz in "The Mummy", and the manager did not have any foresight on the destructiveness of the protagonist's exchange of blood.
However, what destroyed the "Mummy" trilogy was the selective error of "The Mummy 3" hardly touching the hot spots in Greater China. The yellow sand of Egypt turns into eastern loess, and the mummies turn into terracotta warriors. However, using the results to speak, the screenwriter’s mind became a global initiative to jump around. There was no good word in exchange for the American people, and it was not pleasing to the Chinese audience.
Although Universal named Jet Li, who paid 100 million yuan, "Dragon Emperor" in order to show the emperor's domineering, but this kind of open-eyed and nonsense ability can only deceive Westerners. But for the Chinese people, if you say that you are smashing the terracotta warriors and horses and calling them a mummy, we just open one eye and close one eye; but this is clearly the Dragon Emperor who is the prototype of Qin Shihuang, who turned out to be a flying three-headed lizard. .
There are still many graves buried by the pharaohs on the Nile River. The world is going to come to dig the pit of the east, which is extensive and profound for five thousand years. Although the book box office of "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" looks beautiful, it is relative to the first two. The high scores of the Ministry, and the reputation of the trilogy at the end can be said to be broken.
So in 2008, he decided to go to "healing" Universal, and let the mummy lie down for almost ten years. Subtly, it was in 2008 that Robert Downey Jr. put on the suit of a generation of Iron Man.
I am afraid that after the awakening of the dream of the universal yellow beam, seeing the Marvel universe dominate the world, it will cause all kinds of discomforts in the face of modern society in the same way that the Egyptian young public resurrected in "The New Mummy".
Speaking of "The New Mummy", ignoring Tom Cruise's magnificent dark universe revival plot, the plot is basically based on the Egyptian Xiaogong's revenge against the society.
As the saying goes, the Egyptian princess who doesn't want to be Wu Zetian is not a good mummy. As the only child of Pharaoh, Anmanite had only one thing to do every day: waiting for his father to return to the west with joy. However, Xiao Gongju obviously underestimated the fertility of men. The young and powerful Pharaoh's father did not return to the West. Suddenly an extra younger brother made her the dream of becoming the Egyptian Wu Zetian.
The unchanging routine is that the ending of the killing of the father is that the small public act is made into a living scorpion and thrown into a deep well filled with mercury. This kind of psychopathic case in pursuit of rights was later called "deep well disease" by the world.
Thousands of years have passed with a line of subtitles, and it is our turn to touch the captain Atango to make his debut. Two good friends, Nick and Weir, who were engaged in front-line reconnaissance and tomb-robbers, with the help of American air strikes, discovered the largest pit in the dark universe dug by this universal screenwriter. Is the bottom of the pit buried? It was that little public act.
Although as an audience I am curious as to why the Egyptians are fluent in English, but thinking of being serious, you will lose this famous saying, and I will press that excitement.
In order to show that Brother Tom was destined by the mummy's fate, the screenwriter arranged a large plane for Tom, and at the same time gave him a death sentence in the air.
A suicide attack by a flock of birds was encountered while transporting the mummies back to China. After the crash, Brother Tom, who had been lying flat in the morgue after the crash, came back to life. After that, the illusion that appeared in my mind is undoubtedly a tribute to Universal's once classic. In "The Return of the Mummy", the memory of the heroine Evelyn traveled back to ancient Egypt. In "The New Mummy", Brother Atang also went back and forth with the Egyptian young man several times in his mind for thousands of years.
It’s a pity that the world is full of imagination, but it is on the emotional line. In the fateful love story between Tom and the female doctor, the only thing that can be used as evidence is the 15-second one-night stand revealed in the dialogue between the two people. . So when Brother Tom put on the last parachute for the heroine, the abrupt feeling of a rich-loving captain giving his life for love could not be eliminated by "I thought there were other parachutes."
Apart from Brother Atang, there was also a limping female mummy that fell from the world. Starting from a generation of mummies, Immortal, it seems that people have become accustomed to the saying that the mummies must rely on the Dafa of Absorbing Stars to restore their physical bodies. Sucking healthier Anmanite, while looking for the ruby dagger, he also dealt a devastating blow to the British capital London by the way.
The reason for adding the word "again" before the strike is that the audience has been familiar with the trivial matter of destroying London in many disaster films, and at best, the CG special effects that have severely damaged the glass industry in London are destroyed in "Special Forces". In front of the camera of Tian Miandi, it is not worth mentioning, even the extravagant extras ran away with a sense of calm and self-confidence.
Just when we thought there was something magical about the mummy that hadn't been used, Brother Atang used a kiss to collect Anmanite’s magical powers. Brother Atang, who knew that he had only 15 seconds of power, chose not to poke others at the last moment. , After becoming the body of the god of death, it took him about 5 seconds to suck up the mummy that had been up and down in the city of London. Looking at the rapid dehydration and re-emergence of a corpse heroine, I think this is really the most powerful "prank kiss" in history.
Women's roles in "The New Mummy" are all unsatisfactory. There are the mummies of the heroine who pursue the combination of the soul and the flesh, and there are also the second women who do not know if they are resurrected. Brother Tom’s last choice of life was that he and Will after the resurrection rode horses and gallops in the desert yellow sand. People can’t help but wonder who the heterosexuality provokes, and whether it’s the last in each universe package. Is the pairing passionate?
As for another role similar to Russell Crowe, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the whole film acts as a needle in the dark universe as the identity of Dr. Incarnation. It can only be said that looking at the Marvel Universe, they have launched the nth five-year plan. Universal is really anxious this time, and it has stuffed too many clues into the mummy in one breath.
This kind of bundling and packaging sales, for the old audience of mummies who are looking forward to the tomb-robbing treasures and secret door institutions, the final result is not satisfied satiety, but completely wrong indigestion.
