Larryw7 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Even though I'm a big fan of the Classic Universal horror movies, I had no desire to see this at all, and doubt I'll ever even rent it. The Monsters are gothic creatures who either live in Castles, or roam the countryside in search of victims. They aren't suitable for CGI action movies with giant special effects . The only upcoming remake I have some hope for is The Bride of Frankenstein. Director Bill Condon directed the excellent Gods and Monsters, and knows how to put a film together(he just directed Disney's 500 million grosser Beauty and the Beast). Plus he's a huge fan of the source material. So I'm cautiously optimistic about that one.

The weird part of this film was Crowe's character that seemed out of place. This film is not as bad as people make it out to be. The critics hate Cruise now and just bash his films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
