This isn't my cup of tea, and any similarities between this project and our CLASSICS is PURELY COINCIDENTAL (in my opinion). Here we go, got 10 minutes? Reminds me of when they did Monster Force and things like that. Between this, and the cartoony approach designs Super7 just unveiled, they seem to be trying to reach the younger crowd.

I always wanted to hear Karloff (as The Monster) say, "Let's do this!"   :P

I would have to sit down with a comic book version of this and re-read it several times
to make any sense of what's going on here ... that is, if I cared enough.

At least they keep on trying. Maybe one day they'll hit on something that works.

Atrocious.   When will Universal understand.  Just find a way to give us new ways to consume  the classic interpretations of the monsters.   Nobody likes this stuff.   Monster Force is another example, same with Van SmellStink.     
Can't just slap Uni Monster on something horrer related.

Looks like somebody made a sequel to "Kung Pow, Enter the Fist", but with Universal Monsters. I invested 2 minutes of time watching it, before I turned it off.

Which is probably a good thing! After all, my own love of monsters developed from the monster stuff that targetted specifically kids in the 1959-1966 years. And precisely those items are still the ones I most highly treasure today.

You realize of course that you're making the logical mistake of transposing your own tastes/preferences onto everybody else. I suspect that somebody else may very well like this stuff, that being kids if they're targetting kids. And that's not really a bad thing you know.

Why don't they just stick to making Fast and Furious sequels  ::)

Interesting perspective.

I thought it was a steaming pile of CGI crap.

I can't say what it is since I haven't seen it. What I am saying though is that targetting kids instead of old geezers like us isn't automatically a bad thing.

We liked the monsters when we were young because they were cool looking.  Not because we were young.  Pretty much the same reason I like them now.     Every time Universal has tried to grab kids without sticking to the classic look has failed.

Its not the monsters that need reinventing, its how they are delivered.
