The Rock still makes them, like Jumanji and JTTCOTE, but they're soulless trash.
Henry Edwards
Dude they just released Indiana Jones for millennials, repackaged for zoomers, with Uncharted. And like said there is Jumanji.
Gabriel Clark
You say this as though jumanji isn’t 10+ years old
Angel Foster
I watched the sequel and thought it was okay. Never saw the third movie. Why do people dislike the third?
Xavier Walker
Y'all want some pol approved fun, check out chuck Norris firewalker. Indiana Jones wannabe but loads of dumb fun.
Elijah Lee
Jumanji with the Rock came out in 2017.
Ryder Thompson
Jungle Cruise.
Jack Gray
It's easier to make the same movie 27 times.
Aaron Kelly
the key to the success of the Mummy, which nobody brings up, is the abundant slapstick comedy peppered throughout the film
Nolan Gutierrez
Love dis movie you're cool op
Ryan Hernandez
No not quips!
Oh, now you've done it.
Elijah Myers
They became cgi shit fest around 2008. Which is why they lost their appeal. Those new Jumanji movies are so fucking soulless it hurts
Benjamin Gonzalez
slapstick, just look at this bookshelf gag. pure chaplin slapstick
Cooper Sanders
>pog

>campfire mysteriously goes out
>"That happens a lot around here."
If it were a Marvel movie, people would complain about that line.
Matthew Adams
Imagine if the last bookshelf didn't fall over and you had to redo that take all over again.
Daniel Walker
Kino.
Mason Morgan
The difference between that and marvel is that this movie doesn't take itself too seriously in the first place.
Jonathan is an outright comedic character from the start. Even Evy starts out with a comedy scene to introduce her.
Marvel tries for grandeur as well as funny one-liners, but lacks the slapstick or environmental humor and it falls flat.
Christian Russell
>too seriously in the first place.
Dude, c'mon...
Thomas Martinez
If it were Marvel, the actor would lean into the gag waaay too much as if to say “GET IT??!!” completely ruining the timing. Notice how quick, punchy, and earnest Brendan says that line.
I have sat in Marvel films where there’s a legitimately good line every now and then, but it’s either ruined with delivery or quickly trampled by another joke that bombs.
Mason Wilson
Dude, marvel nowadays has its writers thinking they're doing the world a great service by writing capeshit. Takes itself way too seriously.
Evan Foster
The genre got elevated to kino but apparently no one was able to follow
Hudson Hall
treasure hunter nic cage best cage
Cameron Bailey
White man in exotic setting looking for treasure = Orientalism/colonialism
Zachary Phillips
It's still here
Asher Jenkins
Actual answer: to make one that doesn’t look / feel completely soulless you need to shoot on location which means multiple productions across the globe which costs a lot of money compared to green screen garbage.
There’s also no guaranteed return which means you could potentially be investing a whole lot of money for a gigantic flop (see: Sahara).
Nathaniel Mitchell
why do you like it? tried watching both of them and they were kinda boring nd had zero of the mummy kino factor
