Which is ultimately more dangerous - a mummy's curse, or the ego-driven demands of a movie star? Well, one of the two is at least partly responsible for the sinking of not just this episode's movie, but arguably the entire cinematic universe it was meant to kick off. That's right, our two-month "Curse of the Dark Universe" event concludes with the movie that inspired it all - Universal's recent attempt to launch a brand new series of connected franchises starring the classic Universal Monsters. And the film they chose to kick-start it all (after the failure of DRACULA UNTOLD, that is) was the Tom Cruise-starring reboot of THE MUMMY. Cursed, or just misguided? We certainly have our thoughts.
