FOR STARTERS

What The Mummy does for Dark Universal is make it harder for the studio to establish some credibility with audiences. And as inconceivable as it may sound, this may not be at the end all stake in the heart for this franchise. There is hope and it has webbed feet. Also, The truth about the risk of watching movies: criticism in the age of easily accessed opinions. The heat is on as movies continue to not garner much excitement and fail at the box office. But who’s fault is it: the studio or the critics?

Talking Points

Dark Universe Monsters are not creatures, right?
One stark difference between The Mummy 1999 and The Mummy 2017 is that the Mummy 1999 was good.
All work and no play makes Jack Reacher a dull boy
The Underwhelming Success of The Mummy Doesn't Doom The Dark Universe; just makes it harder for us to care.
Creature from the Lagoon would not fit into the current action narrative of this “Dark Universe.”
Universal needs to think Disney before moving forward with the next Dark Universe Film.

The Scoop Dujour - Criticism and The Risk of Watching Movies

Criticism is not new. Before the internet: you picked up a newspaper, flipped to the entertainment section and read the latest review from your favorite entertainment columnist. However, now, in the age of accessibility, many of those single opinions operate as a collective voice within sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.
