Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

paulsjunklist Although all of the characters in these monster movies are fictional, when stories are reinterpreted too far from their original story lines they tend to fail. Frankenstien, in the main, was originally concieved as an idea which wrestled with the struggle between the scientific endeavour and the natural order or things, not a story of the battle between demons and angels (gargoyles in this instance). The spiritual element of the minsters quest only touched the original story due to the prominent religious world view of the times. In my view this movies failed and is rated so because it stretches the concept held in our minds beyond it's original narative.

punisherversion1 I, Frankenstein: Directed by Stuart Beattie and written by Stuart Beattie and Kevin GreviouxWeek 8: Tomatometer rating for this gem is 4%This week's wonderful offering comes from the creator of the Underworld series, an idea stolen from a mix of sources and made dull and lifeless even by schlocky B movie standards. This is a very similar movie. All you have to do is replace gargoyles(angel stand ins) and demons with vampires and werewolves and replace Romeo and Juliet with Frankenstein and presto change o you have this movie.I hope though you don't go in hoping for some character motivation or development of any kind. It starts with the most basic information about Frankenstein and throws you into a war between two opposing armies. It gives you no more information than that. It is the story of a chosen one, a certain character who can change the course of everything. It hops from one action scene into another with little rhyme or reason. It doesn't really make sense. You have no idea what Bill Nighy's character is doing until the very end. It is a twisted little knot of plot threads. It involves Aaron Eckhart's Adam and him lacking a soul. It is just an excuse for wild and crazy scenes. It moves quickly enough and it doesn't get bogged down in too much. It is a little too serious. The acting is bland all across the board but then again I'm not sure anyone really cared that much when it came to that. The oddest thing about this movie though is they talked about protecting mankind, the gargoyle/angel creatures did anyway but you never see any people. It briefly features an European nightclub with some people and one lone police officer who ventures into a movie set alleyway but after that the city feels completely empty. Where are all the people when this insanely huge massive battle and huge mansion being destroyed with wild explosions are taking place? It makes the reality of the situation feel left out. It loses you from becoming immersed in the world, well that and the terrible gargoyles effects and the goofy kids playing dress up feel of the human version of the gargoyles. I can not recommend this. It fits right in the middle as far as this little experiment goes. It's not painful to watch but it is definitely a whatever movie. I give this movie a D.

Virginie le Roux I just saw the movie and it s so far from the shelley book. Aaron remains handsome although he has scars but that s the only interesting point. Was it necessary to add vampires and creatures of evil. Mary Shelley wanted to underline the loneliness of the creature and to explain about difference. The movie seems to talk about Buffy and the vampires.

adonis98-743-186503 Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans. To be honest i really don't think that I, Frankenstein is really that bad Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto were all pretty good for the material that was given to them especially Nighy who pulls again another great villain just like he did with Underworld. Where the film fells short is the small run time and the fact that most of the action sequences are pretty disappointing and short and also the big plan of the bad guy it's what it always is built an army and take over the world but for what it is this modern take on Frankenstein is not as bad as many people made it out to be if it's on Netflix give it a shot you might enjoy it depending on your mood and your taste i'm gonna give it an 6.5/10
