Monster Brawl (2011)

You would think that a film featuring all the classic monsters  paired up to fight to the death and find the ultimate champion would be a good thing.  The matches are in a cursed graveyard.  There is a wrestling ring, announcers, managers, and it's handled as if it were a wrestling broadcast.  Also Dave Foley and Art Hindle are announcers, and Lance Henricksen is a disembodied voice who makes comments on the moves and outcomes, like in the game Mortal Combat.  Plus who didn't spend time as a kid wondering how monsters would stack up against each other if they ever came to blows?

Unfortunately even with all the monsters and everything going for it, it is one of the most tedious movies I've ever managed to sit through.  It's like watching a pro-wrestling match from the 1960s.

Each monster gets a back story, none of which are fun to watch.  Also if you don't know the back story of classic movie monsters, have you been living in a hole or what?  There are times where it appears they were going for comedy, but it's so unfunny that you'll question whether that was their intent.  Dave Foley has a slightly Howard Cosell announcer thing going on, but even he isn't funny.  Damn it, movie!
