I am considering watching The Good Lie.
However, who am I kidding? I am probably going to watch John Wick.

Was it worth seeing.

I checked out the synopsis of John Wick and Kuddos for the main character who goes after the guys that killed his dog. Probably due to the dog's death I don't think that I could watch it.

It has a few things going for it.

It's better than Snow White and the Huntsman. It has a slightly similar feel.
You get a guy who has a physique that I could only wish I have.

In a way, the character makes more sense than the Stoker Dracula, and a more convincing warrior.
Acting-wise, at least they are not wooden, so that is a plus for it.

I don't like the way it begins, with how movies go with a type of narration in the beginning, but I don't mind too much.

I think, that Legendary is trying to create a world where this Dracula, a Werewolf and Frankenstein, live and breath in the same world.
Which would probably be interesting, though it would be re-imagining villains in to more empathic figures.

They will be following a Marvel world building job for the U-Monsters mythos. I've read about Drac, Frank, Wolfman, the Creature, the bride and Invisible man.
