Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The Mummy could have benefitted from a proper old-fashioned adventure score. The movie still wouldn't have been very good, but at least it would inject some life and - God help us - some actual fun into the proceedings.

KK 3,307 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 At least not when it comes to your traditional "old-fashioned" scores.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The comments on this video are pretty hilarious and made me think of you for some reason. I think it's all the man/woman stuff. Quote Women hate being told what to do. So when Rick said Evy don't you think about it. She probably was thinking of leaving then he said that and she was like fuck you I can do it. Then Imhotep said help me, that's where he fucked up. ???

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Oh I get it. Reverse psychology stuff. Evy thought Rick was a manly man for being willing to die, but Anck lost her attraction to Imhotep when he was begging for help like a girly man with no hair.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I hated The Mummy Returns. Terrible sequel to a good movie. I was 13 when it came out, and I remember it being one of the first movies of my childhood that I hated in a theater.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've been told that one of the biggest problems with The Mummy is that so much of it just feels like set-up for more dark universe. If Universal is going to continue with the dark universe somehow, they're going to have make these films better, if they can.

Studios don't want "old-fashioned" adventure scores, they want mood / noise music these days because strong themes are actually considered too old-fashion and or distracting, apparently. Not surprised by the composer / music choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling like the producers are more interested in laying the groundwork for more sequels than they are in telling a proper, well-rounded story. Marvel at least had the curiosity in 2008 to treat Iron Man like a one and done film, save for Nick Fury's cameo in the after-credits because even they realized it may have not been a hit at the time. All these studios want their own franchises these days, that they don't think ahead of time about the possibility of failure. It's very frustrating to say the least.

I think there is a creative issue when you announce you're creating a universe before the first movie is even out. That calculated planning does not bode well for the individual project at hand. While Marvel was obviously banking on the success of Iron Man to launch their MCU, at least that movie felt like it was serving itself.
