I'll give 'em this; I thought the whole idea of a "monster universe" sounded dumb as shit when they first announced it but they have definitely signed some star power to back the whole thing up. That doesn't mean the movies will be any good but it's a start.

They're going to make the same mistake that DC is making by going way too hard at universe building. Instead, they should just focus on making a couple really solid, self-contained movies and loosely build connections in credit scenes.

It's funny. Marvel showed all these assholes how to do this shit, but they don't seem to get it. Hell they already did a "reboot" of this whole thing, originally Dracula Untold was supposed to be the first movie.

tom cruise = mummy i guess? kinda spoils the movie
johnny depp = invisible man?
russell crowe = dr. jekyll / hyde?
chick = bride of frankenstein?
other guy = dracula? werewolf?
no frankenstein, swamp thing (black lagoon), 50 foot woman... umm, most of the rest sound kinda retarded anyways like the deadly mantis, tarantula, etc.

Just by hearing they are jump starting a franchise makes me think these movies are going to be like the D.C. ones, not the Marvel ones. I don't want to have to read an info graph to understand how they line up.
Just give me 2 hours of self contained story. These days I have more fun watching 30 minute movie reviews on YouTube than watching most movies that show up in the theaters. Seeing they're starting a new franchise just makes it sound like work, not a good time.

Gotta chase that Marvel money hat rainbow. Disney is probably the only company with the money and patience to do this shit right. They were smart to not even try to mimic Marvel's template with the way they are doing Star Wars.

Apparently Cruise is supposed to be a Doctor Van Helsing type character according to some articles and interviews on Bloody-Disgusting.

Casting a lot of primadonna, highly paid A-list actors to be the backbone of your cinematic Universe that really doesn't need to exist in the first place seems like a terrible idea.
Also, no reviews in for this yet meaning it's probably going to suck.

It's like @Screamfeeder always says, don't write scripts for a-listers, write scripts that create a-listers. Pratt being an example.
