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.

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.

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

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.

Landis' screenplay is not only unnecessary, detracting from what makes Frankenstein a classic, it's also pretty bad. McGuigan does his best to make the drivel interesting, but the film is never better than average. The visuals are decent though, and McAvoy and Radcliffe are at least moderately entertaining.

Great performances from all.

James McAvoy really sells his obsessed scientist role with an enthusiastic performance. The entire story is presented in a fantastical way with grand theatrics. Daniel Radcliffe made a great Igor in a unexpectedly retooled role. A few too many liberties were taken with the details. Jessica Brown Findlay was also good & gorgeous. All performances were good. Production quality was excellent. A grand production that was quite entertaining, engaging & sometimes amusing but with a rather weird plot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie 
This time the movie wasn’t based so much upon the monster 
But the man Victor who created the monster and his relationship with Igor
 How much of that relationship is based on the novel 
I really don’t know I haven’t had a chance to read the Mary Shelley novel at this time 
Even though we don’t get to see the monster as much 
When you do see him in different stages 
He definitely left a impression on me and made his presence felt

Far from the greatest Frankenstein adaptation, but it's got some decent moments. What lacks the most is in the personality department. Had problems believing in James McAvoy as Victor. He tried so hard, but for me he was too lightweight for the role and his monster was even more of a waste. Daniel Radcliffe as Igor was sort of funny, but the only character that stood tall was Charles Dance as Frankenstein Sr., and he was there only for a minute.

really good and funny

It's tosh, but a fun enough tosh. McAvoy and Radcliffe seem to have fun, which helps. I can't call it a good film but I wasn't bored for long.

I didn't think it was too bad. The structure's really off, though. I get that it's more of a prequel thing, but having the monster only turn up in the last 10 minutes of the film isn't smart. They probably just should've straight up remade Frankenstein (1931) is that's what they wanted to do. James McAvoy gives a kind of fun, over-the-top performance, and Daniel Radcliffe does a good job with what he has to work with. It could've been worse, is my overall opinion.

What we have with Victor Frankenstein is a movie whose perspective is not even from the character whose name is in the title, that tells a story with which you are already familiar, doesn't know if it wants to be serious or dramatic, scary or comedic, and is led by actors who quite clearly lost interest in even trying to be good 20 minutes into the film. It does have some pretty visuals - visuals that look ripped from Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies.

Well, they stretched the story beyond recognition and it was overtly/ read comically dramatic. but visually it is appealing and they caught the style of talking of the era very well. I could have done much worse on a flight.

Nope, not quite ready for life outside of the lab.

They tried. Many bad decisions obscure the vision, and the approach to biology is childish, but I give points to the attempt at reimagining something without doing the classic "ah, fire, groar!" we kept seeing since *that* movie

interesting retelling of the Frankenstein story, Mcavoy and Radcliffe were really good.

It's a bit generic feeling and missing a whole lot of heart, but the failings were in production and direction. I can't say that this isn't the most original Frankenstein take in the last hundred years, excluding "I, Frankenstein" and "Frankenstein Unbound," which basically were just using the name to grab some cash, but this one can actually be called an adaptation, but not a great one.

Filled withy references to better films and poor jokes leaving the actual themes anoly half coocked

Uninspired.

Firstly I think the film should have retained it's working title of 'Igor' as he is really the focus of this film. I thought the approach to tell the story from the assistant's perspective was original and interesting but the execution was lacking. It was pretty far fetched to believe a circus performer could teach himself to be one of the greatest medical minds of the time, and the ease and quickness with which he was 'de-hunched' was pretty laughable. This set the tone for the rest to be fair

Özellikle başrol iki oyuncunun performansıyla Frankenstein filmleri arasında ayrı bir yer almayı başaran film. Tempo düşük başlıyor sonrasında gittikçe hızlanarak sonunda zirve yapıyor. Kullanılan müzikler, arka planlar ve kurgu çok iyi. Konu bilindik olmasına rağmen yine de zevkle ve heyecanla kendini izletmeyi başardığına filmde iyi hatta çok iyi.

What a waste of two good actors in a movie that doesn't try to update the story, subvert it or even have fun with it. It's unclear why it was even made in the first place.

it may come as a surprise, but you have my permission to skip this.

The Best of British Actors cast can't save this movie from its many flaws such as too many clichés, a tacked-on action-movie boss-battle ending and more plot conveniences than you can shake a stick at.

Until the day someone "really" tries to adapt the novel Frankenstein, Frankenstein movies will be shit. On a side note, I couldn't believe they set this up for a sequal, I literally laughed out loud in the end.
