Early word is that it's a piece of shite and will probably kill the expanded universe before it even begins.

I like the idea of creating a universe with all these great characters. However, starting with the Mummy was pretty dumb.

that is simply amazing
tom cruise is gonna have to be pissed. the budget for this movie was only like $125M, which means he has to be getting about $0 salary and some insane % of the gross. they put all their eggs in one of the few marketable stars and they make a total piece of shite that kills the franchise before it even starts

I disagree. The Mummy is a fine starting point but they went too big with it. The Mummy isn't suppose to have magical, city destroying powers like it appears to have in the trailers.

He's no Brendan Fraser.

this movie looks terrible
this universe sounds absolutely fricking retarded
but with that said, I will say that I think Tom Cruise was miscast in this movie. He's more effective in hi drama/action/thriller movies to me than the horror/thriller gendre.

Technically, Dracula Untold (23% w/a 4.4/10 avg on RT) kicked off the Dark Universe franchise. Even though that made $219m world wide on a $70m budget for a modest profit it apparently wasn't enough for Universal to continue with it though. It's odd though as Luke Evans recently said he was in talks to be in the expanded DU while Mummy director straight up came out and said Dracula Untold is non canon.
I guess w/that kind of behind the scenes confusion we shouldn't be surprised if this flick is a mess.

you have to do it on a much smaller scale
also, you probably need to make it more of a horror comedy and not fantasy thriller

They're basing an action franchise on a series of films that weren't an action franchise.
With the exception of the Wolf Man, these were slow paced horror/thrillers, not action films.
You could easily increase the pace of The Creature from the Black Lagoon with CGI, but an action Frankenstein or Invisible Man are just laughable.

Serves them right for making Boris Karloff a woman.

Now up to 28/29% range. They may beat out the latest Pirates movie.

Should've taken a page from the Penny Dreadful book on how to make a solid monster universe.

Down to 22%. Better wear a condom.

I don't care what anybody says, I think it looks fun.

Supposedly they did rewrites on Dracula Untold that allowed for it to be included in the universe if they desired to and that the ending scenes "hinted" at a connection, but that they ultimately decided to not include it in the universe.
