The latest Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies is online and they’re taking no prisoners this time – as they focus on The Mummy.
As many reviews for The Mummy did, this Honest Trailer points out the the film emphasized setting-up a universe over telling a compelling story – and Epic Guy defines the Dark Universe as being a series that stars “guys in their 50’s, fighting monsters from the 30’s”.
The Mummy was intended to set-up a new version of Universal’s Dark Universe and pave the way for future versions of The Bride of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man.
Epic Guy saves some vitriol for The Mummy director Alex Kurtzman too, as he points out that Kurtzman also co-wrote the other failed cinematic universe launchpad, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
