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)
... View MoreFrankenstein movie is same story movie using dead people to bring back to life this story is used by almost many filmmakers. In almost every Frankenstein movie there is some different method of giving life to dead. So, in this movie there is different method they used latest technology to create body and giving them life but in this actor who played monster role did not done good job to it. I don't know what they are trying to shows us firstly they are showing that he has 1 year old mind but 1 year old baby didn't do those thing what they shows then they showing that he is rapidly learning everything but he is doing same thing as before. So, actor is looking totally confused in playing character between 1 year old baby and monster as in other Frankenstein movie they shows. That is why this movie somehow became very bad. It is very difficult to watch whole movie so I fast forward this movie completed before normal time. They also used famous actor they are playing character of doctor but what they can do to make this movie good and they have very small role. Anyway if you are thinking of watching this movie please skip it and instead watch kids cartoon movie they are better than this movie.
... View MoreThe biggest mistake in this film is the final moment of the final scene, which is a bit too much like Darth Vader screaming "NOOooOOOooo!!" at the end of Episode III. Other than that, the film is remarkably restrained and allows mostly quality performances to link together this telling of the classic Frankenstein tale in modern LA. The newest wrinkle is the use of Elizabeth as a Freudian motivation for Adam, which mostly works and allows for an interesting psychoanalytic representation of the classic story.Otherwise, Xavier Samuel is very good as Adam, providing a restrained but effective performance as the Monster/Adam and generating significant pathos for the poor but terribly violent soul.
... View More6.75 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.
