September 22, 2009Kenneth Branagh?s version of the classic and much loved horror story really does have its moments but is missing a certain something only Shelly could deliver.
-
July 18, 2009Slightly better than Bram stokers Dracula in the sense that its more sensible and realistic with less cheese haha De Niro is believeable as the monster and Brannagh is actually just right for Victor. The look is good and again its close to the book, just beats Dracula.

July 12, 2009Kenneth Branagh directs and stars in this screen adaption of Mary Shelly?s Frankenstein, very fitting roles for both Brannagh and Helena Bonham Carter, who both suit the era and the mood of the piece well. For those who are watching this film as a Robert De Niro film (as I did f...( read more)

October 18, 2008Dr. Frankenstein creates a new life from stitched together corpses, and his ungrateful monster haunts him, seeking revenge for making him an outcast abomination. A well-intentioned, if occasionally sloppy, attempt to tell the story as Mary Shelley originally wrote it, but mainly...( read more)

November 25, 2009I read the book which was phenominal so if I ever see this movie, I hope it's not a let down.

November 24, 2009Frenetic thrills, melodramatic performances and impressionistic design, boasting a script true to the structure of the novel. Stellar cast with John Cleese almost unrecognizable, Kenneth Branagh complex, strangely likable in the title role, and Helena Bonham Carter wonderful, tho...( read more)

November 22, 2009While it is not the worst adaption of Frankenstein, it is nowhere near the brilliance of the 1931 classic. This film attempts at being faithful to the novel, but fails to capture its essence. While there are some decent performances, there are a lot of bad ones as well. It is not...( read more)

November 8, 2009Adaptação medonha do clássico de horror de Mary Shelley. O monstro de Robert De Niro é muito dumb, não é nada instruído e cortês como no livro. É de dar dó o filme.

May 19, 2008Wow. Another Frankenstein film riding the coat-tails of a successful Dracula movie. This one even goes so far as to imitate the "author's title" name structure of its predecessor, Bram Stoker's Dracula. If not for the Count, these things would never get made, it seems.

March 9, 2007This movie attempted to stick to the original book, but it was just so cliche and over dramatic!! It made it look kinda lame in some scenes. Even though they had some good actors and actresses, i think that the whole over dramatic thing messed it up.
