I (bisexual) explained OP's post in excitement to my partner (not bisexual), and then swiftly went on to explain my comment, which he didn't get. Which lead to now everyone in this household being UTD with that meme. Incredibly, the movie is being released on my partner's birthday which seems like a gift to me, not him.
The big question is whether the actor who played Johnathan will return or not. He was my fave!!( Maybe not if I don't even remember the actors name lol)
That was actually a different universe for the mummy, not related in anything but the theme and name. They should call it the mummy 3 and we'll just pretend that never happened
The Mummy Franchise is vast, and officially includes the Boris Karloff/Lon Chaney movies. This series has been called the "Stephen Sommers/Rick O'Connell Series", which includes the Scorpion King spinoffs. Tom Cruise's movie is considered an entirely separate offshoot of the franchise.
That wasn't trying to be a movie in this continuity, so for that reason, yes, we skip it. And the fact that it was just awful. I love watching shit movies, so yes I've seen it, and yes it's just that bad.
In french we have two words for bad movies. "Navet" ("Turnip"). It's a bad movie. It's just bad. Ew. And "Nanar" which is a deformation of an old french word for "thing with no great value" but for movie enthusiasts sometimes means "so bad it's good". Cruise's Mummy is a Turnip. It's bad. Just bad. Ew.
Why the fuck would I have watched the movie and THEN blacklisted it? Did you even think about that comment before posting it? The dude's a pedophile and he's been accused and brought to court by other women in the past, even if he's gotten the charges dismissed. He is a fucking freak. I don't care if his acting was "good" for the first time ever, I'm not fucking watching it.
I appreciated the fact that they mixed "legitimately dire and intimidating threat" with "goofy cartoon villain" in a way that DIDN'T dilute the threat.
His performance is always pretty solid IMO, it's the shit he gets asked to do (I challenge you to find someone other than Jim Carrey who could deliver that 'It's Morbin Time' line well, poor bastard)
He’s a very pretty man, and I appreciate that he’s never been afraid to get ugly in his roles. There are some actors out there that refuse to do anything that may mar their image, but he always seems to be down to get f-ed up.
I always assumed that was a reference to the line he says right before he attacks in that corridor in his controlled vampire form for the first time, which might as well have been 'it's morbin time'. I can't remember the actual line, but it wasn't good, and I can't bring myself to watch it again.

"Third" Mummy flick. We disregard the third Mummy movie entirely.

I thought Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was actually pretty good.

I like them both. We all get to grow older together. They should do a Romantic Comedy, I'd go see that. Something hopeful, I need that, real bad.

It's a continuation from the mummy returns. It is not going to continue from the 3rd.

What clarity? What Tom Cruise movie?
WhoIsFlabbergasted
Universal tried to create a MonsterVerse with a Mummy movie starring Tom Cruise in 2017. It failed miserably
FetaForMoses
Good to hear I don’t like Tom Cruise

That movie was so aggressively mid.

I saw it with my parents at the theatre and it was so forgettable

Of all the movies that have been, it is one of them, for sure.

At this point I'm convinced he has some extreme blackmail against half of Hollywood

If it's anything like his take as Skeletor, bring it the fuck on!

You mean the take that made me blacklist that movie? Fuck no.

Did you watch it before deciding that?
He's pretty much the best thing about the movie.

On the one hand, he didn't suck in Masters of the Universe, but frankly at this point he's probably cheaper than a RADA grad

I honestly liked him as Skeletor. Hell, I really liked Masters of the Universe a lot, but was pleasantly surprised by his performance.

I appreciated the fact that they mixed "legitimately dire and intimidating threat" with "goofy cartoon villain" in a way that DIDN'T dilute the threat.

You do know that "It's Morbin Time" isn't actually a line from Morbius, right? It was invented to mock the film. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-morbin-time
