But this new monster-fest from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. is far from the first time the two creatures have squared.

Warning: mild spoilers for Hardcore Henry ahead. - Hardcore Henry innovates (a word which here means “throws ideas against the wall”) at such a frenetic pace, and so proudly, that it’s kind of a shock to realize that it actually does have a classical narrative inspiration at its core: It’s a Frankenstein movie.

Regardless of opinions concerning How I Met Your Mother’s series finale, one thing has always remained the same throughout the shows nine-year run: Marshall Eriksen is hilarious. The role was expertly handled by Jason Segel, who could not have done a better job as the doting, charismatic best friend.
