I, Frankenstein: Directed by Stuart Beattie and written by Stuart Beattie and Kevin GreviouxWeek 8: Tomatometer rating for this gem is 4%This week's wonderful offering comes from the creator of the Underworld series, an idea stolen from a mix of sources and made dull and lifeless even by schlocky B movie standards. This is a very similar movie. All you have to do is replace gargoyles(angel stand ins) and demons with vampires and werewolves and replace Romeo and Juliet with Frankenstein and presto change o you have this movie.I hope though you don't go in hoping for some character motivation or development of any kind. It starts with the most basic information about Frankenstein and throws you into a war between two opposing armies. It gives you no more information than that. It is the story of a chosen one, a certain character who can change the course of everything. It hops from one action scene into another with little rhyme or reason. It doesn't really make sense. You have no idea what Bill Nighy's character is doing until the very end. It is a twisted little knot of plot threads. It involves Aaron Eckhart's Adam and him lacking a soul. It is just an excuse for wild and crazy scenes. It moves quickly enough and it doesn't get bogged down in too much. It is a little too serious. The acting is bland all across the board but then again I'm not sure anyone really cared that much when it came to that. The oddest thing about this movie though is they talked about protecting mankind, the gargoyle/angel creatures did anyway but you never see any people. It briefly features an European nightclub with some people and one lone police officer who ventures into a movie set alleyway but after that the city feels completely empty. Where are all the people when this insanely huge massive battle and huge mansion being destroyed with wild explosions are taking place? It makes the reality of the situation feel left out. It loses you from becoming immersed in the world, well that and the terrible gargoyles effects and the goofy kids playing dress up feel of the human version of the gargoyles. I can not recommend this. It fits right in the middle as far as this little experiment goes. It's not painful to watch but it is definitely a whatever movie. I give this movie a D.

Everyone I see here who has left scathing reviews are basing them off the horrid marketing and trailers, not the film itself.Frankenstein's monster is used as God's instrument against the forces of hell, a surprising twist to the traditional horror tale. He's constantly proclaiming that he is his own man, but throughout the movie, you see his strange existence is only possible because The Almighty is allowing him to walk the Earth.Lacing in the mythologies of Gargoyles was a brilliant touch -- these are more than 'black-ops angels' and the actors are clearly having a blast in the roles. There is subtlety and nuance at play -- that is, IF you bother to watch the whole movie.The vivid, colorful palette and cinematography was a welcome surprise -- I expected this to be a muted, greens/blues sort of thing, but instead was treated to masterful use of lighting, set design and mood. This may be a popcorn flick, but it's a well crafted and lovely one.The only thing that falls kinda flat, is the score. Kinda forgettable. But if you're paying attention, you won't miss it.I recommend this if you can find it. Well worth a rental or a Halloween Marathon at the cinema.

Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans. To be honest i really don't think that I, Frankenstein is really that bad Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto were all pretty good for the material that was given to them especially Nighy who pulls again another great villain just like he did with Underworld. Where the film fells short is the small run time and the fact that most of the action sequences are pretty disappointing and short and also the big plan of the bad guy it's what it always is built an army and take over the world but for what it is this modern take on Frankenstein is not as bad as many people made it out to be if it's on Netflix give it a shot you might enjoy it depending on your mood and your taste i'm gonna give it an 6.5/10

Aaron Eckhart gives a competent performance,the film picks up where as The creature is laying his creator to rest. We are thrust into modern day and there are Gargoyles and Demons at war. Bill Nighy leads a group of Demons masquerading as humans. Miranda Otto you'll remember front Lord of the Rings leads the Gargoyles. The film has a unique premise, very slick stylish visual FX and lots of action if you can see it in 3D it's even better. I found it very entertaining, fun and though there are some story and dialogue issues it's easily better than average with a huge budget, a good cast that also includes Jai Courteney from Terminator Genisys, Mahesh Jadu of Marco Polo. If your a fan of Underworld or Resident Evil you should enjoy this the Gargoyle Transformations and Demon deaths are well done and I thought very original. It's never gonna be A 10 buts it's easily a 7 worth seeing great way to pass a rainy day or sleepless night
