Please try againThe Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, independently produced by Marvel Studios and based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The franchise has expanded to include comic books, short films, and television series. The shared universe, much like the original Marvel Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. Clark Gregg has appeared the most in the franchise, portraying Phil Coulson, a character original to the MCU. The first film released in the MCU was Iron Man (2008), which began the first phase of films culminating in the crossover film Marvel's The Avengers (2012). Phase Two began with Iron Man 3 (2013), and concluded with Ant-Man (2015). The films are currently in Phase Three, which began with the release of Captain America: Civil War (2016). Marvel Television expanded the universe further, first to network television with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC in the 2013–14 television season, followed by online streaming with Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix in 2015, and then to cable television with Marvel's Cloak and Dagger, which is scheduled to air in 2017 on Freeform. Soundtrack albums have been released for all of the films, along with many of television series, as well as the release of compilation albums containing existing music heard in the films. The MCU also includes tie-in comics published by Marvel Comics, while Marvel Studios has also produced a series of direct-to-video short films and a viral marketing campaign for its films and the universe with the faux news program WHIH Newsfront. The franchise has been seen as an impressive and groundbreaking success in terms of a multimedia shared universe, though critics have found that some of its films and television series have suffered in service of the wider universe. It has inspired other film and television studios with comic book character adaptation rights to attempt to create similar shared universes. The MCU has also been the focus of other media, outside of the shared universe, including attractions at Disneyland and Discovery Times Square, two television specials, guidebooks for each film, a Lego video game, and a commercial with Coca-Cola.
The franchise began in 1987 with the film RoboCop. RoboCop 2 followed in 1990, and RoboCop 3 in 1993. There have also been various television series, video game and comic book tie-ins. The franchise has made over US$100 million worldwide and a remake serving as a reboot titled RoboCop was released in February 2014. A new installment titled RoboCop Returns was in the works and will serve as a direct sequel to the 1987 film, ignoring other sequels and the remake, as well as the two live action TV spin-offs. As of June 2019, the script, which will be based on an original story from the writers of the 1987 film, Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, was still being written. Neill Blomkamp was originally signed on to direct the film but left the project, and Abe Forsythe was later selected to direct.

The Mummy (2017)
Disappointing
Now that i re-watched it , let me give my thoughts on this mess called The Mummy (2017) and the whole Dark Universe crap. Dear Universal Studios Entertainment: Don't put your Universe before your characters. I don't mind you guys remaking The Mummy yet again. If i don't like it , i'll still have the previous versions. But you guys are missing the point. The original was a standalone/self contained movie. It wasn't trying to set up sequels or an unnecessary cinematic shared universe. In fact , there wasn't even a sequel. It was more horror. The ones that were made in the 40's and the 1999 remake and its sequels were more action/adventure , sure. But they knew what they were. They knew the tone they wanted. And i love those. This one , the tone didn't knew what it was. It wants to be more like the original 1932 version and distance itself from the 1999 version but at the same time it is doing stuff that , the 1999 version did and there are even references. But we don't need a shared universe. Don't try to copy Marvel because they aren't superheroes. They're monsters. What are they going to do once they get together ? Are they all of the sudden going to be friends and save humans ? There wasn't an after credits scene teasing. The whole movie was one big tease. It felt like Iron Man 2. A commercial for another movie. How about make new versions of Frankenstein , Dracula , The Hunchback Of Notre Dame , The Invisible Man and The Phantom Of The Opera that are actually more faithful to the original novels ? As a way to differentiate from the previous movie adaptations. I seriously doubt that the authors of those novels where thinking of shared universes when they were writing those. I doubt H.G. Wells was thinking "You know what , The Invisible Man , this is set in the same universe of Dracula and The Mummy. And how about hire people with actual experience ? Alex Kurtzman was mostly a writer and had only directed 1 film. Just one. And it was a small Comedy | Drama movie. Why would you give this big budget/summer/popcorn/action/adventure/horror movie to this guy ? Stephen Sommers was a writer too sure. But he directed 4 films prior to The Mummy. He directed a small movie and he went to direct other movies until he got Deep Rising which it was more a big budget movie. And then he made The Mummy. Get Guillermo Del Toro. Sam Raimi. James Wan , Peter Jackson. And drop the whole shared universe idea. You tried a few times and it didn't worked. Dracula Untold , now this one. Just forget it. I can't believe i'm saying this but i rather watch The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor. At least that wasn't trying to set a shared universe. And i actually cared for the main character. Unlike this one. The only reason i gave it the benefit of doubt was because of Tom Cruise. Regardless of what you think of his personal life , he's a good actor and producer. But i honestly didn't cared for his character. He was a jerk. He and the actress had no chemistry , unlike Brendan Fraser and Rachael Weiz. And Brendan Fraser was clearly a hero. He even tried to save Beni. In this one he saved the girl sure. He gave her the last parachute and we think he sacrificed himself for her , but then he said that he thought there was another parachute. Was that supposed to be funny ? And after , there was a scene where he tried to escape and he almost left the girl. He toked a truck and totally forgot about her. Our hero ladies and gentlemen. Our hero. I think i even rather watch The Mummy: The Animated Series.
The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex (2013)
A Good Reunion
I just saw the Wizards reunion and it was good it was funny if you- liked the show you'll like it. But i was i little disappointed it- didn't have Justin in it because David Henrie was busy doing something- else.I think that they did the reunion too fast the show ended the last- year.They should'voe waited a couple of years more and waited until they- could have all the cast return and maybe do a movie with a bigger- budget and release it in the theaters like Hannah Montana:The Movie but- anyway i thought it was fun is entertaining for the whole family.I love Selena Gomez i love the series.so if you are a fan of- Selena Gomez and more important a fan of the series you should see it.
