Victor Frankenstein

Max "Silver Spoons" Landis complains about the lack of originality in Hollywood and then proceeds to shock and dazzle us all with the 40th Frankenstein movie.

Well, that was a weird episode of SHERLOCK.

It felt like a higher energy hammer film so of course i liked it. The story's additions to the tradition of frankenstein are interesting, though certainly more of the monster himself was called for. The characters aren't great, igor in particular as a character is stale, however radcliffe adds much more to igor than the script provides, and mcavoy is relentless and electric as frankenstein. Its a flashy bmovie and i can enjoy it as such

Entertaining solely for the cast. There is no denying the chemistry between Radcliffe and McAvoy, which is really the only reason this movie is lifted up. Denial can be allowed in the cases of McGuigan's direction for the movie, with some weird shots and designs. Also, an oddly petty attempt at a script from Landis, and I certainly hope that's not a continuous trend for him. Don't waste your time.

A perfectly adequate re-telling of the story. At times feels like it's trying to shove modern storytelling cliches into an old story, but at least the first act was interesting.
