Jay W @RT52162311 6 days ago This film is less of an adaptation of Mary Shelly's work and more "based on the characters featured in Frankenstein". In fact, it takes more inspiration from the 1931 film than it does from the book. In this one, Igor and Victor Frankenstein are just two science bros. The chemistry between Radcliffe and McAvoy is the real highlight of the film. The two of them have a... complicated relationship. Sometimes it seems abusive, other times they feel like they share the same brain. It is proof that the Frankenstein formula can be shaped in a lot of different ways. Sometimes it can be the format for a generic action movie. Not bad, but nothing great.

What Worked: Wagner’s cinematography uses practical lighting to give 1860s London a wonderfully textured feel. McAvoy brings incredible, manic energy to Victor. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing Victor try to manufacture life out of death powerfully reinforced my beliefs about the sacred nature of God’s design and the heavy consequences of playing creator. The Cuts: Landis’ script gave me total tonal whiplash, aggressively jumping from buddy-comedy to dark body horror. The middle part really dragged for me, spinning its wheels on generic romance tropes instead of moving the story forward. Keeping it spoiler-free, the massive final showdown abandons all psychological tension for a loud CGI mess that totally robbed the climax of real weight. Verdict: A visually solid but tonally confused mess. Skippable unless you’re a fan of the actors.

It was so off putting. See more Blanca G @RT93112229 Nov 4, 2025 estupenda las actuaciones de los actores See more Read all reviews
