That'll be a no, then.

Aaron Eckhart is great, and I'm glad Yvonne is finally getting some big screen time...but, I don't have a good vibe about this movie, I hope I'm wrong.

I dig it. Frankenstein has always be one of my favorite movie monsters, and coupled with the Van Helsing tone mixed with the Underworld feel, It's certainly a film I'll watch.

This is what would happen if Underworld and Van Helsing had a baby. I'll wait for the BluRay release.

Did Michael Bay direct this? Or is someone trying to emulate him.

Looks alright. Maybe worth catching on rental or watch it bootlegged.

Hey I may actually go see this.

Nothing like original comic book... very bad trailer for fail-movie... He even hasn't a long scar on forehead! And awfull PG-13... Nothing to watch there. And the comic book is really great, it not deserves this crap movie version...

Has kind of a Van Helsing vibe, but not really. I'm not sure why they didn't gross him up a little more. Probably for some lame romance angle where they didn't think audiences would buy Strahovski kissing a mangled mess. I've heard rumors this is a trainwreck, but I'm rooting for Eckhart.

I think it looks visually spectacular, but did they actually say WHY the demon/gargoyles were attacking or why the needed him?

It doesn't look bad but I just don't feel like it will be good. Something about it seems uninspired.

But since he's Dr. Frankenstein's son (so to speak), wouldn't his surname be Frankenstein as well? So, calling him by said name would still be accurate.

@AquamanEatsSeafood,

Good on you, dude. Blame that on Hollywood.

I hate CGI.

Every still of the film I've seen has rubbed me the wrong way. This trailer doesn't really raise my hopes that much. Sad. I wanted better from this production.

Awesome! Looking forward to the movie!

I think it looks cool.

I like the gargoyle things and how the wings pop out.

Holy shit that looks bad. Granted I watched it with the sound off, I could only last a little more than a minute. Visually boring with shiatty CGI and looks derivative. I hope Eckhart got a payday for this. January opening? You better believe it!

JoeMomma29 - 10/4/2013, 11:06 AM
Now I want this on the big screen!

I thought I was watching a trailer for a Stephen Sommers flick.

Looks awful.

Long story short...this is basically Lincoln the.vampire.hunter.
but instead they put Frankenstein in it and.instead.of vampires its.gargoyles

@Greengo Eckhart does resemble Tom Jane a bit.
Crawler
Crawler - 10/4/2013, 11:18 AM
Why. Why does Bill Nighy continue to waste his talent?

@ jlabatman

It's a movie base on a comic book that's loosely based on the Frankenstein concept and story.

Looks ok, Gargoyles look somewhat like the lycans from underworld. kinda cheesy
LEOSTRATOR

I'm tired of the shitty CGI comment that every returd spew out. I bet they loved the first star wars trilogy that had shitty claymation and film overlapping. Just trolls, I bet they have no ideal how much time or talent it takes to produce just 5 minutes of CGI work.
