It's like that is it? Haha. I just felt that we be repeating ourselves at times on more or less the same release from the same retailer. We have the 3D boys in one corner, and the 4K boys sitting in other corner of the ring.

Well I don't have either so I am neutral, how about a standard Bluray + DVD HMV?

Thing is, the 3d brigade will always be there ! The 4k will not, they will be replaced by the 8k and then the 16k boys or girls !?

 

[JayWhit]

Pre-order (3D corner of course!) And saw the film last night; not as bad as the critics made out, but not as good as 1999 film

I never listen to critics anyway, King Arthur Legend of the Sword got slated and I really enjoyed that, more so than WW.

 

[Shane Dale]

saw this last night and really enjoyed it. Lot less comedy than the last lot of films which is good as they shouldn't be comedy films imo. Ordered in 4k so shall look forward to urs release

 

[Terribly Mauled]

Solid, fun flick. Not understanding the terrible reviews at all, it has the usual blockbuster logic along with stronger than expected horror. I enjoyed it a lot.

i believe this film is not a remake from 1999 mummy right?

It could possibly be a sequel, certainly has a nod to the last one within it.

I like it when reboots are written in such a way that they can coexist with the originals (or are part of the same cinematic universe to use the current buzzword). Star Trek, Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, The Thing all spring to mind. Hopefully The Mummy does indeed take that approach.

By looking at the $ figures you posted, now I understand why $10 is a not a big deal for you mate. Sorry, I was just joking Mr. Nice Guy.

Never realised it did reasonably well at the BO. Thanks for the stats btw.

Damn, why hmv exclusive??????

Damm why another remake ??????

 

[ChrisIW]

Damm why another remake ??????

I don't have a problem with most remakes personally, as long as they're good enough and it's worth doing the remake. It's not always the case though, if I feel a film couldn't be improved and has aged well then a remake is a bad idea. I have no interest in The Matrix remake for example, I'd rather just have a 3D version of the original.

I haven't seen The Mummy yet so I can't say whether it's any good.

I'm not saying you are wrong as you are more than likely correct.

But, why would Bride of Frankenstein be the next release in the dark universe? Wouldn't it make sense to have Frankenstein be released before that?

Its not next, its just the only other one with a date so far. It doesn't have a cast or anything yet, so that date may slip. Javier Bardem has been cast as Frankenstein's monster & Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man so there's every possibility that one of them will come first.

It's what Universal have decided yes I agree would be better if they did Frankenstein before Bride of Frankenstein

I would have liked them to do the films in order of the original universal monster series from the 20's 30's
I would have preferred if they had started with The Hunchback of Notre Dame with next been Phantom of the Opera and then do Dracula followed by Frankenstein etc

The order of the films of the Dark Universe don't match the order of films of the original universal monster series in terms of what comes first

Phantom of the Opera Universal made this twice
1925 (Silent Film Black and White) and 1943 (Colour Version not a silent film)
1925 version is more famous version due to Lon Chaney performance
Most have more likely seen the 1943 version with Claude Rains and is the version that is in the Universal Monsters Blu-ray Box set
