    reboot

    DEFINITION*:
    verb – to restart (a computer) by loading the operating system; boot again.
    noun – an act or instance of restarting a computer.


    Computer.


    Nerds like Anthony love it because his hero Christopher Nolan had 'Batman Begins' use the phrase 'reimagining' which then became 'reboot'.

    So, arsehole, what term was used before then, eh?

    Yeah, I´m not disputing that.
    I want to know what word people used before the mid-2000s...

    There is a difference between the two. A remake would have the same names, characters and storylines. The only thing this movie has in common with the first is that it has a mummy. So sorry nerd. It's a reboot.

    In other words, ´we can´t think of any new or original ideas so we´ll use an old idea, try to confuse the dumb public by labelling it as´reimagining´ and then ´rebooting´

    Okay.




    So, the new Dunkirk movie is a remake of the 1958 version?

    Yeah pretty much Hollywood for the last 50 years.

    Dunkirk is a true fucking story. It's not a remake. It's a telling of history with updated technology.

    The 1999 version was a reboot of the 1959 Hammer 'The Mummy' version which was a remake/reinterpretation of the 1932 Boris Karloff 'The Mummy'!

    Magus thinks that the 1999 movie came up with the idea of the mummy being a monster or some shit.

    Oh Please. Most movies are based off books. That is not an original Idea.
    And many movies from the 50s were remakes of movies from the 30s. Ben-Hur is a good example.

    Different movie, different scenarios. The 1999 was not a remake of it.

    If they wanted a 'sexy female mummy' they should have remade instead 1971 Blood From The Mummy's Tomb

    Did you knew that originally on 1994 Universal hired 'Gremlins' & "The Howling" director Joe Dante to remake 'The Mummy"? Dante was a fan of both the Boris Karloff original and the Hammer 1959 version and announced he planned to give Christopher Lee a juicy role in his version as well a cameo for another surviving Mummy star, Yvonne Furneaux . Dante's version was going to be a modern straight forward horror version paying homage to the other two versions. Universal killed the project when Dante asked for a $40 million budget. Ironically they greenlighted later the bombastic CGI fest of Stephen Summers for twice the budget when he sold them the idea of turning it into an Indiana Jones vs the mummy action-adventure popcorn film!

    That´s why those 1940s versions and the Hammer 1959 versions are great.

    This new Dark Universe shit is going to bomb hopefully: if you´re not going to do something correctly, dom´t fucking bother at all.
    The Mummy, Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, Wolfman, Frankenstein, Dracula, etc - it looks like the same producers will be onboard for all of them so fuck ´em

    I mean, how many of these remakes/reboots of these characters have been any good from the last 15-20 years?
    The Mummy - wank
    The Mummy Returns - didnt see it, but I know its awful
    Van Helsing - saw it, made me laugh
    The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer - more Brendan Fraser, lolz
    The Wolfman - fell asleep
    Dracula Untold - one of the worst movies eva?

    The highest rated of the above is The Mummy at 55%

    I guaratee that this new movie will bomb even further and every subsequent movie of the series will follow it into the tub of Hollywood dogshit...

    The reason projects like this and the movie industry itself is shit is because the whole point of this monster mash shit was just to make profits. They wanted to do some stand alone films make some sequels and then do a film with all of them like it was some second tier Marvel project.

    The problem is that when art is used solely to make profit, the art suffers which stunts the profit.

    I have never been a fan of the Mummy having superpowers. The mummy monster is supposed to be just a bandage wrapped walking dead, non-flesh eating zombie. Funny that when those mummies were human were not powerful beings but once resurrected have powers ala X-Men Apocalypse mutant.

    I would not even call it a reboot. It is a totally different movie.

    I got 45 mins in and thought it was hideously bad but in an unintentionally funny way.
    That said, it wasn't 100% unwatchable...just entertainingly shit.
    I still can’t come up with a good reason I watched this film throughout beyond my logical 'movie-brain' just needing a rest for two hours.

    Final analysis: a kid with Down"s Syndrome would love The Mummy.

    4/10
