Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There have been plenty of movies in the last decade which have arrived with huge fanfare but still failed spectacularly. A movie's hype and a movie's quality can often be two completely different things. Big franchises, big name actors and exciting premises don't necessarily add up to enjoyable movies, and audiences have been disappointed over and over again by big-budget flops.
The Mummy was supposed to kickstart a new franchise for Universal, but the movie's failure meant that those plans were shelved. Universal's Dark Universe was an ambitious plan to bring back many classic movie monsters, such as Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. The franchise was canceled before it even got going, as critics and audiences shunned the remake.
A Wrinkle in Time never managed to tap into the magic of the book. Although there is no shortage of beautiful scenes, the story lacks any kind of personal touch. The broad, ambitious story still requires deep and thoughtful characterization, even if the themes are supposed to be universal. A Wrinkle in Time is less than the sum of its parts. A great book, cast and director somehow added up to a mediocre final product.

Based on the hugely popular series of young adult novels by Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines takes place in a steampunk-inspired dystopia where cities have been mounted on wheels, and they roam a barren wasteland preying on smaller towns. The Mortal Engines novels have sold millions of copies all over the world, but the long-awaited movie adaptation couldn't capitalize on this popularity, and it failed to recoup its budget at the box office.
The combination of Ang Lee and Will Smith was not enough to rescue Gemini Man from mediocrity. The movie was first conceived by screenwriter Darren Lemke in 1997, and it was stuck in development hell for decades as different directors and actors came and went. The technology finally caught up with Lemke's original vision, but a lackluster story meant that Gemini Man never fully explored its intriguing premise.
