  • Lol, they took it to Iraq? Ancient Mesopotamians: "Um, hey, who the fuck are you and what are you doing?" Ancient Egyptians: "Hey, we're the Egyptians, we thought we'd just dump this body here." Ancient Mesopotamians: "No." Ancient Egyptians who just crossed thousands of miles of desert: "Fuck."

    the entire dark universe in one review? Man you are dedicated

    This movie just made me miss Brendan Frasier like a lost loved one.
  • @supereldinho
    I just love how the writers pathetically tried to make Ahmanet sympathetic even though she has no sympathetic qualities to speak of and her only reason for murdering her entire family and making a deal with the devil amounts to a single line: "It was a different time." Like Linkara once said: "There's a difference between a sympathetic backstory and actually being sympathetic."
  • @HolyApplebutter
    Ugh, seriously? SET ISN'T EVEN THE GOD OF DEATH! That's Osiris! The only reason they threw Set in there was because anyone with a very vague understanding of Egyptian mythology would be like, "Oh, well Set is the bad one, so he must be the god of death." I mean, that's like saying Ares is the god of death in Greek mythology!

    NC- 'I'm really going to enjoy watching this' pulls out Dragonball Evolution. Me- he's fucked.
  • Nerd: when you see Thor's hammer at the end of the movie, you know Thor is coming. When you see Dragonball evolution movie at the end of this video, you know Dragonball evolution review is coming
  • @alakuriel4697
    Wait wait wait... She kills her brother because she wants to be queen? This is ancient Egypt - having a brother would mean marrying said brother, and still being queen. And with that much of an age gap, you could pretty much guarantee she'd be running the show. So... zero motive for the entire movie? o.0
  • @nerdymmermaid
    "A movie based on an anime." slowly shakes head Oh no. Which one? Which one is it? " holds up live action DBZ movie " Screams!
  • @finmorton6840
    what annoyed me about the mummy (2017) was the fact that Dracula untold was originally meant to be the 1st step of the dark universe, but because it didint perform well, it was slated and replaced with a god awful mummy reboot that gets basic mythology wrong.
  • For me, one of the biggest mis-steps is pushing Crowe straight out of the gate as Jekyll and Hyde. Why not have the two sides of his personality have private conversations, where we hear both voices but only see Crowe? Why not have a large archway where we see a shadowy figure standing, only to later see in the background that it is actually a mirror, and Hyde manifests in Jekylls' psyche in reflections, like in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie? Why not have Crowe constantly knocking back shots of a clear liquid, misdirect us as to thinking it's a drinking habit, and it's later revealed to be the potion he needs to remain as Jekyll? What does this character add to the story at this point that couldn't be carried out by Mycroft Holmes, or Van Helsing, or any other iconic but un-powered character from classic fiction? I wish this had been good, but the potential is streaming out through the plot holes like a water through a sieve.

    Fun Fact, Egypt actually did allow female rulers. They thought the soul of the pharaoh simply changed vessels when a new pharaoh took place. So the villains motivations make less sense
  • @thrallfan1056
    The OFFICIAL Dark Universe Plan: - Release Dracula Untold - It sucks so nobody watches it - Say Dracula Untold is not canon and start over - Release The Mummy(2017) - It sucks so nobody watches it - Delay Bride of Frankenstein with obvious plans to cancel it in the future - Start over in 2020 And here I thought DC was the worst at building good Cinematic Universes.

    12:19 To be PERFECTLY honest, who wouldn't have that reaction if you died in a terrible plane crash only to suddenly come back to life without a scratch?
  • @Hughes81
    I think they would have fixed all of this by having Russel Crowe say: My name is Horrace. And I'm here to talk to you... About the Monster Squad.
  • @FlameOfUdun96
    Man, this crossover is such a great start to the Cinemassacre/Channel Awesome cinematic universe!
  • @squamish4244
    So if Ahmenet's sarcophagus is lowered deep into the mercury so it can never be recovered, then why are there pulleys to...recover...it from the mercury?
  • “Wanted the universe to continue”.....Should we tell him that Blumhouse wants to revive the Dark Universe after the success of The Invisible Man
