Gods and Monsters is a spellbinding, confusing piece of semi-fiction, featuring fine performances; McKellen leads the way, but Redgrave and Fraser don't lag far behind.

The typical hollywood shlock that goes a step farther in turning a director I admire into a walking cliche. It's really not so bad but Brendan Fraser ruins everything and this movie makes it very clear what its agenda is, and its not James Whale.

Ian McKellen is the only above average aspect of this seemingly overrated and boring movie. Gets a higher rating since its about James Whale.

McKellen fully earns his Best Actor Academy Award nomination. Condon, who won a well-deserved Best Screenplay Adaptation Oscar for his work here, seamlessly weaves Whale's real and reel lives, past and present, into a moving tapestry laced with wry wit. Best Supporting Actress nominee Redgrave is sheer brilliance as Whale's loyal Eastern European housekeeper/surrogate mother.

Tries to deal with a bit too much at once; death, the movie industry, homosexuality, insanity, war, and god knows what. Still though, it does it quite well even if it isn't long enough to do all the aspects justice. And my god, McKellen is ridiculously good. Great.

It actually turns into something mildly interesting and complex, which warrants mercy considering the first hour or so.

A film about the last days of the great filmmaker James Whale, who is most famous for directing "Frankenstein" and it's (superior) sequel "The Bride of Frankenstein". Ian McKellen is marvelous as James Whale; it feels very personal and it's very easy to lose sight of the great actor and see only Whale himself.

Ian Mckellan is tremendously real as James Whale. Brendan Fraser also gives a surprisingly wonderful performance. The cinematography has a very eerie and classic feel to it, which I loved.
