I am aware that this movie was not supposed to be like the one with Brendan Fraser, and I knew going in that it was supposed to be part of the Universal Monsters re-boot. Still, the movie was not good. It was not terrible, but it was not good. The whole movie was just a way to introduce the world to the character Tom Cruise is playing, with the idea that there will be future movies... But unless they turn things around quickly, Universal Monsters (The Dark Universe) will fail before it gets off the ground.
