SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Chas Newport As soon as you see an animal in a movie you know they're going to kill it. It's either to make you angry with the bad guys as in John Wicke or to create sympathy for the protagonist as is the intention here. It's lazy writing and it sickens me. What you're actually doing is alienating the animal lovers in your audience. There's actually a website called "Did the Dog Die" with the specific purpose of reducing the audience of the lazy writers who do this to zero. Sadly I failed to check it as I wasn't expecting a dog.

traveling-girl2 I had high hopes for this movie. I've watched every Frankenstein movie I could, and this one is the worst one I've ever seen. It's bad enough that it is boring and slow, it is sad, sad, sad.While the acting is very good, it in no way redeems this movie, in my humble opinion. Talk about about a depressing movie, this one is the most depressing movies I've ever seen.I cannot recommend this movie in good conscience. However, if you like depressing movies, then this is the one for you!Did I mention that this movie is depressing!?!?

LeonLouisRicci This Updating of the Legend of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is an Inspired Film made for Today's Audience and References the State of Modern Technology, and the Fact that Human Behavior, despite Advancements, is Virtually Unchanged since Victorian Times.It's a Timeless Tale, You See, and this Homage is True to the Novel's Themes and Literally, with Voice Over from the "Monster", Recites Passages Directly from the Book.A Good Cast also Highlights this Horrifying and Disturbing Story that will Pull at the Heartstrings while at the Same Time, Manages to be a Hard Watch. There is so much Brutality and Abuse the Unfortunate Creation must Endure, it becomes a Mirror to Our Own Plight as a Species and to say that it "Hits Home" is an Understatement.The Sharp Screenplay Pulls Few Punches in Making the Point that a "Fooling with Mother Nature" is a Not Always a Good Thing. The Newborn must Cope with the "Slings and Arrows" that are Thrown at Him from His Very First Breath and while Not Born a "Monster", He Certainly is Becoming One (more physically than behaviorally) because of the Flaws in Biogenesis and the "Inhuman" Demeaning He Encounters.Overall, Despite the Familiarity with the Story and its Countless Retellings, this is a Fresh Look that is Not Shy to Show the Rotting and the Decomposing that is Life at its Most Primordial. Horror Modernists will Most Likely be On Board with this Intelligent and Thoughtful Reconsideration. It is Recommended not only for Fans Newborn to the Story, but Anyone who Likes Classic Literature and Classic Cinema.Well Done.

blackboxla In short, despite Frankenstein remakes, rehashes and adaptations,Bernaed Rose's ability to effectively reinvent the wheel for the modern generation, highlighting the perils of frighteningly cloning technologies, speaks volumes for his ability as a filmmaker. This kind of reworking is what keeps Frankenstein's grotesque yet sentient monster well and truly alive almost 200 years after Shelley's masterpiece and Rose's adaptation is certainly tantamount to the original novel's subtitle as it really is a modern Prometheus.Xavier Samuel as Adam who perfectly depicts just "how mutable are our feelings" as his acting range is indescribably electric. It was also a pleasure to see Tony Todd (Candyman) reunite with Rose to play Eddie, a blind homeless father figure who does his utmost to guide Adam down the straight and narrow although his efforts ultimately fail to bridle Adam's inner beast. Also, having a prostitute explain the birds and the bees (in a particularly graphic YouTubian manner) brought some particularly humorous yet ultimately tender and heart wrenching moments to the film. Compliments are also due to Adam's "parents" with Carrie-Anne Moss playing the sympathetic/apathetic mother to a tee and Danny Huston putting in a mean performance as the ruthlessly thick-skinned monomaniac, Viktor Frankenstein.
