Can you have a "dark universe" in a 15/pg13 movie?

After reading plenty of reviews for the 1st movie in universals dark universe I went into my viewing expecting a car crash. I think because I went in with pretty darn low expectations it actually surprised me. The plot although although shallow kept me entertained. There is a wash of high calibre talent that has been contracted to bring this universe alive and I enjoyed Annabelle Wallis and Jake Johnson more than I did cruise . Russel crow was great imo as Jekyll and Hyde. What disappointed me most is, if this is a snapshot of how they are going to handle the rest of the universe then we're in for a very shallow light hearted take on what should be a true "dark universe" filled with legendary creatures of horror. Only time will tell.

Dialogue bad

Seemed like the film had no direction after an interesting opening. Way too much Tom Cruise and not much else to like. It would be a shame if they scrapped the whole Dark Universe over one mediocre film.

A great introduction to the new Dark Universe this movie is not. Plenty of pretty decent action interspersed with a a few too many sprinkles of clunky comedic relief, and less-than-sizzling love interests, leaves you wanting a bit more.

Great story lines

casting over this

New and fresh

loved this 1st series when it arrived, it was fresh and new and a different side of the DC universe that we weren't seeing elsewhere. It did will sticking to the comics and yet changing a few things just enough to keep you guessing. Great dynamic in shifting time frames.

An unpopular opinion

Contains spoilers, click to show

I've heard some pretty scathing reviews of this film but I really enjoyed it! Jean is a rich character in the x-men universe who really deserved her own feature. It was a darker film which harked back to original x-men and I enjoyed that immensely

The millions of fans of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy have something to be very happy about this season: the start of a new trilogy, companion to the first, called “The Book of Dust.”

Pullman’s invented universe is a wonder to behold, but so is the meticulously drawn world of New York City in Julia Wertz’s graphic homage, “Tenements, Towers & Trash.”

Some treasures to behold this week:
