This trailers of the new version of "The Mummy" looked like a CGI overloaded mess. The Fraser/Weitz version appears much better and more human.

What is this, the SECOND remake of the Boris Karloff original??

The Fraser one was mediocre. I expect this one to bomb miserably.

Tom Cruise is now box-office poison because of his nutty religion.

Aren’t all new adventure movies a CGI mess?

I haven’t been to the movies in I-don’t-know-how-long. And I haven’t Redbox’d a movie in months. There’s just nothing I want to see. Jason Statham’s Mechanic movie was the last one....

I don’t think “The Mummy” was the best choice to start the “Dark Universe.” Never saw a mummy movie I liked. Re-booted Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman are more interesting to me.

Wow, lookit the creativity, the ORIGINALITY of today’s Hollyweird /x

They can’t be “imaginative” unless it involves sex, dirty talk, politics, and a “diverse” cast

Warner Bros. superhero tentpole Wonder Woman

LOL. I always had a "tentpole" when watching Linda Carter as Wonder Woman.

Summary description of the movie:

Nick Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artifacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian princess who was entombed under the desert for thousands of years. With her powers constantly evolving, Morton must now stop the resurrected monster as she embarks on a furious rampage through the streets of London.

Sounds sorta like Hillary.

Who would pay good money to see that?

Was quite surprised to see Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe doing a MUMMY movie. And disappointed honestly.

Comic book movies, for the most part, continue to satisfy the American intellect. I showed one to my 95 year old mother who asked me to turn it off afer 10 minutes.

I think the very fact Director Patty Jenkins made Gal Gadot and Chris Pine likeable characters on-screen makes Wonder Woman a better movie than Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.

And it proves that Warner Brothers missed a huge opportunity back in the early 1990's when they could have turned the well-liked "reboot" of the Wonder Woman character in the comic books that George Pérez did from 1987 to 1991 into a great movie and possible sequels.

Maybe I read the Brietbart item incorrectly. Beauty and the Beast was a monster hit this year. So was Fate of the Furious. $1.2B each.

In its second week, Wonder Woman looks like it will fall short of $1B.

PS I thought WW was great.

Since top gun toms movie m/o has been almost 100%:

Solo hero

No female leads taller than him

His mission is to save the world, overcoming big odds

He can do anything

This is what he thinks scientology does for him in real life

Top Gun, Few Good men, MI series, Jack Reacher, Edge of Tomorrow, Oblivion, minority report...

The few exceptions were done for other goals. Eyes wide shut to quell gay rumors/divorce from Kidman, the vampire one to go with the big vampire trend and he still played a solo, supernatural powers hero-ish type, and with shorter actors too as normal. 4th of july was paralyzed solo counterculture hero.

I chose “Meagan Leavy” over WW and Mummy. I wasn't disappointed and enjoyed a good story.
