Overhyped Films That Were Never Released
video description
Personally, I found The Mummy an okay film, it wasn't groundbreaking, but it was okay. I just felt that Universal was too confident in their star power alone, like what they did with CATS 2019, they threw every famous and currently relevant celebrities hoping that solves their problems.
World War Z however was a disappointment for me because I'm a big fan of the book and Max Brooks, the movie was a good zombie movie but IT WASN'T World War Z, all the drama, all the humanity and the psychological insights in the book was all lost and replaced with action scenes that direcly conflicted to how the book's zombies actually were. Max Brooks zombie books clearly indicated that zombies were dead human bodies that had an infected brain that functioned in its most primitive state, which meant zombies were able to function as humans but SLOWER and LESS coordinated because the infection only utilized parts of the brain. It also completely turned a blind eye to the very interesting historical records that World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide told about how different cultures' burial rituals were actually directly affected by early civilizations' encounter with zombies and their dead coming back to life.

I got the Mummy on DVD and it was more inspired by Brandon Frazier version than Boris Karloff version, I didn't think the movie was that bad they might have given Tom Cruise character to much scene time and not enough to the Mummy, but I did enjoy the film, also Tom Cruise wanted to do changes according to some critics which might have upped their budget if true, they could give less control to other actors in the future to cut budget and not only is Marvel movies popular but remakes of Godzilla, King Kong, Planet of the Apes series are also popular to give them idea they could be successful in movie remakes if planned Godzilla vs King Kong is successful. They could redo Frankenstein meets the Wolfman or Frankenstein vs Dracula or was it called Dracula vs Frankenstein? Then again I think they made two versions of it so they might have used both titles.

Technically speaking, the Uncharted movie did came out. It's called Tomb Raider. Despite the title, literally all it has to do with being a Tomb Raider property is the title and the name of the main character, but content-wise, it's Uncharted 1, almost bit-by-bit. Which is the same accusation the game it supposedly is adapting (Tomb Raider 2013 reboot, since it had more to do with Uncharted than with anything else.
And it was a massive flop, since bad movies are bad and bad movies made in bad faith are even worse.

Yeah, TRON 2 was probably the nr1 expected movie, but I think it's gonna happen, it'll just take a few more years before real nostalgia kicks in. Most people have already seen TRON but it wasn't a blast like Star Wars or Infinity War, it took time but now we all know what kind of movie TRON is, and a TRON 2 would most definitely have recognition compared to the first one.
Dredd wasn't a blast either, but I think most of us have seen that too. So if Dredd 2 and TRON 2 came out, I'd be buying tickets right away!

There should be some contracts when any studio starts a series - if you do more than one film you need to end the series! That would be great because there are soo much of books screenings with two or more parts and then suddenly ended that it's sad. Just sad. Not talking about this ones with just one movie like idk. Ink Heart, Golden Compas, Narnia chronicles, Mortal Instruments, Eragon. Wish I would be so rich to make one solid whole series from beginning to the end.

The Mummy with Sofia Boutella as the Mummy and Tom Cruise as the hero grossed over 410 million world wide so was a box office success, if they spent to much making it I don't know estimates listed as 125 million - 195 million to make don't know if that included advertising cost, I would assume so especially at 195 million high estimate. Don't know how they got such a wide range of estimate but is what was on Wikipedia so might have limited sources of information.

There is a mini film of uncharted that's fan made and starts Nathan Fillion of Firefly Fame. Of Fillion was ten years younger, he could play the party of a younger Nathan Drake from the beginning. A perfect match. But, Tim Holland? Though, I really like Holland, he's the best Spiderman, yet, in my opinion, and has other good films under his belt, hard a good actor, but I just don't see him as Nathan Drake, to be honest.

So I wont be long but putting up the title Over hyped movies that were never released is the worst idea. Let me ask you all something, How can you know anything is over hyped unless it actually comes out? Any and all of these movies could have been incredible films but we'll never know because they were never released. So saying that they're over hyped just makes you look idiotic to anyone in the film industry.

Divergent movies were a train wreck and I am 5 for 5 in people who agree. They didn't develop the characters that were so rich in the books, they cut out the things that made the plot believable and they kept some things in without explaining what they were which added nothing. Considering it had already lost the book readers these Easter eggs meant nothing to them either.

I really hate unfinished storylines. So many tv series have just stopped without a conclusion because it didn't rate, or live up to the hype, leaving you hanging. The same goes for movie series. As far as l'm concerned, if they have made a movie that finishes a sequence then show the bloody thing no matter how crappy, even if it's just on tv. Don't leave us hanging again.
