That was an excellent one.
Excellent adaptation.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Victor Frankenstein: While we have a young Frankenstein this is no Young Frankenstein as Igor's hump turns out to be an abscess which is swiftly drained by VF. But there is a verbal allusion to YF. No numbskull, Igor is an assistant, nay, a partner to VF.VF meets Igor during a visit to the circus where the poor soul is abused but VF recognises Igoe's abilities when he observes him save the life of an acrobat. He rescues Igor from the circus but an evil clown is killed during the escape. This draws the attention of a religiously obsessed Scotland Yard Inspector.A Steampunk version of VF set in London during the late 19th Century captures the horror and wonder of the story but has a vein of humour running through it. The Monster when he finally appears, bears an uncanny resemblance to IDS. Definitely leaves the prospect of a sequel. 8/10.
Because it did so poorly in the movie theaters (maybe it was released along side some blockbusters . . I don't know), I didn't expect much. That being said I'm always interested in a twist on a familiar story. THIS DELIVERED! Igor's perspective.I've never liked Daniel Radcliffe in anything (especially Swiss Army Man) but I have always been a fan of James MacAvoy. They both deliver! The only reason I didn't give it a better rating was because I had hoped for a better ending. Who knows, maybe they were holding out for a sequel . . . ?Enjoy this one.
I love Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, and the two for me were just spectacular! Their Acting was amazing! I particularly loved the dialogue and the dark and sinister feel of the beginning scenes. Daniel played quite a convincing hatchback lol. For some reason I liked the story been told from his point of view. Another interesting bit is when you are from a place like Ghana in West Africa, you don't grow up knowing much about America myths (because of course you have your own country specific myths to worry about) so a story like Frankenstein's was known to me wayyyyy older in my life, and frankly all I can remember about it is the Monster not the Man. This adaptation, for me reveals somewhat the MAN not so much the monster.
I did not care for this movie, but that could be because it just wasn't my type of story. It is the tale of Victor Frankenstein and Igor creating the monster, and it focuses primarily on the events leading up to the creation of the monster, with only the last few minutes dealing with the monster itself. If you like Daniel Radcliff you may like this movie. Personally, I saw him as Harry Potter through the whole film. The movie was heavy on story, but I personally felt the story was "meh"... That could be biased, however, since I like comedy and/or action mixed in with the story quite a lot, and this was lacking in both. In any case, this movie was not for me, but it could be good for someone who likes the time period, likes stories rooted in inter- personal relationships, or Daniel Radcliff.
