The Invisible Man was a good movie and the only reason chudcels here hate it is because they don't think the lead is sufficiently rapeable
Film is a visual medium. I don't want to pay to see ugly b***hes in some woke movie that has HG Wells name on it.
Nonsense. He's fine. The hate comes from the fact he's barely in the movie. Although he's cool when they finally let him do something. I loved rain scenes.
The Invisible Man was far worse than the original. The original was just some guy fricking around, throwing bicycles at people, and the police trying to figure out how to catch him, but it was infinitely more interesting and engaging, and even the special effects hold up really well.
The remake failed as a horror movie, failed as an action movie, didn't even work very well as a thriller. It might have worked if "the invisible man" wasn't the title of the fricking film and we were unsure if she was really crazy or not. But because we knew, the whole time we're just waiting for the reveal and the main character to play catch up.
It was their best shot at remaking a classic monster movie. My problem was the invisible suit. I thought he should’ve been really dead. Should’ve left it somewhat open like the original Candyman.
nobody knows. all of these films were supposed to start monster universe but they ultimately lead nowhere.
the funniest thing is that the mummy made more money than all other films combined but is still considered a big box office failure. theres really no logic whatsoever.
Hey, Alex!
...Shouldn't you be off ruining Star Trek?
Renfield & Demeter are meant to be standalone.
What is hard to understand? They try, fail, reboot and try again.
Renfield was supposed to be in a bigger monster universe but when they knew it's going to bomb the director said it won't restart universe, despite subtle worldbuilding in the movie.

Demeter is indeed standalone, just taken from Bram Stoker's Dracula, chapter Captain's Log.
Universal needs to drop the cinematic universe idea and just make fun monster movies. That's literally all they did in the 1940s. There was no grand master plan.
>Universal needs to drop the cinematic universe idea
Everyone needs to stop forcing this idea.
They were the oldest to do it, one of only like two franchises that did it before Marvel so naturally they tried again. It could've worked but it didn't and they're really trying everything at this point.
No, they need to actually think. All these monster movies are basically acting as setup for something but they always drop the ball and never commit. This is annoying as frick.

The Mummy. Perfect balance of action and neo-gothic horror.

myass universe
3x different draculas
a mummy and invisible stalker
universal is moronic
That they are. But they believe people still maybe sort of care about gothic monsters.
Last I heard Max Landis was working on Black Lagoon for them, but that was years ago now.
We decided to aim for a connected Monster Universe, but no crossovers
Renfield and Demeter were shots in the dark to figure out what tone audiences wanted
We’re breaking up the storylines to drive more investment and curiosity
So you won’t see Dracula or the Wolfman wrapped up in a single film
We’re even talking about a Mummy prequel with Sword & Sorcery vibes veering into straight horror
>a connected Monster Universe, but no crossovers
how is this going to work then?
always
Kindly step away from my waifu, Tim.
They could have lead up to a League of Extraordinary Gentleman style cross over and we could have seen Mr Hyde rape the Invisible Man to death on screen.
Wont happen. They dropped any shared connections. Instead of fixing mistakes from the mummy they threw everything away and decided to go with standalone films nobody cares about.
Tell us more insider scoops anon
Someone post pics of The Mommy
>everyone hated the mummy
>it is the highest grossing one
People love monsters. But maybe not all monsters.
another universal trash
these idiots are building a theme park based on critically panned flops
1940s kids will love it.
