    That's no Brendan Fraser flick (thank god).

    One thing though:

    Russell Crowe ... Dr. Henry Jekyll

    Does it include previous Wolfman or is it a new shared universe?

    No, Wolfman supposed to set up the shared universe but it was a failure. Than Dracula Untold was going to do it but it failed also. Now this is going to set it up apparently.

    Dragon Emperor almost felt like a self-aware cashout. "Teehee, made you pay to see this!" sprinkled liberally throughout the movie.

    Only movie I liked Brendan Fraser in was Blast from the Past, because it made sense that his character looked clueless the whole time when he does that in every movie anyway.



    First couple minutes is more of a featurette, trailer @ 2:45 ish.

    .
    Also George of the Jungle and Encino Man. His "stupid face" works in those too.

    I'm not sure this is a movie you care about reviews for. You wait 6 months for it to play every Saturday on USA and watch it in the background while you cook steak or something.

    Anyone watch it? Is it so bad that it's good or it's just bad?

    I saw it, it's not a steaming pile, but it's not incredible.
    Like, I guess it's technically better than Dead Man's Chest.

    Not very random, Dead Man's Chest came out recently, and they're both "Summer Mass Blockbusters" types.
    And while you say it may not be hard to make a better film than Dead Man's Chest, it's also not hard to make one worse.

    I'd say Dead Man's Chest is better than Transformers: Age of Extinction, or Spider-Man 3.
