It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Married scientists Elizabeth (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Victor Frankenstein (Danny Huston) reanimates Adam (Xavier Samuel) although he only retains the mind of a baby. He starts to deteriorate with deformities. The scientists try to euthanize him but he is too strong and too hard to kill. He escapes but causes chaos and is attacked by the angry public.I like the idea of bringing Frankenstein into the modern world. I like doing some of the classic story elements such as the little girl and the angry mob. Around the midway point, the film loses me. The cop taking him out back and shooting him in the head is completely wrong. There are some more wrong-headed stuff like a voice-over suggesting an advanced mind which isn't right. The A-list stars Moss and Huston leave after the first act and only return for the last confrontation. Samuel is perfectly fine. This is an intriguing idea but it doesn't come to much more than an indie.

Yes pun intended or meaning both the movie and the "monster" itself. This is a modern adaptation of one the best known monsters. Though obviously many still confuse the name Frankenstein (the inventor) with his creation (which would be the "monster" and not Frankenstein). But back to this, because by updating this and giving it somewhat roots in reality here with a great cast, the movie achieves something that other newer adaptations failed to do.We do feel for the monster, which is splendidly portrayed here. It's almost existential to a point. What is life? What is the meaning? So all the things that made or rather make Frankensteing the story great, can be found here. So I do wonder: Where is the love? (again pun intended)

i watched this film with my best friend on the phone it was her choice to choose a film and poopoooed out this film (the word I wanted to use is prohibited, it rhymes with kit) choice it was B * LLL SSSSSSS. the only good thing is Xavier is really cute my friend would like to add that he should have been made of body partsbut he wasn't and that he grunts too much. this film is very confusingas you want to throw up whilst crying whilst wanting to rip Ur eyes out apparently a review has to be ten lines so I'm just filing out space I hope u had a nice day la la laoverall, this film was really awful but it was at least better than TALES OF TALE

6.75 of 10. Frankenstein zombie or Frankenstein clone? It's definitely not Frankenstein robot. Nonetheless, it feels like a horror story inspired by Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - or at least the the question, not the more developed Blade Runner adaptation.It's better than any of the film/TV versions of Frankenstein. Rather than trying to stay literal to a story we know is, at least technically, nonsense, it pursues a more realistic though still at the moment purely sci-fi angle.What makes the film engaging beyond the slightly revised plot setup is the pacing and the thoughtful adaptation and fitting in of the book characters that interact with "Monster". What makes it less engaging is the narration. By the end it feels like a setup for either a TV series or a sequel or 2 rather than a complete story.
