How many times does Hollywood want to rinse Mary Shelley's novel dry? 'Frankenstein', 'Bride of Frankenstein', 'Young Frankenstein', 'Van Helsing' and even 'Frankenweenie'. All the same story but with slight different interpretations. In this fantasy action flick, Frankenstein's monster is in the midst of a war between gargoyles and demons where his master's re-animation methods are sought after by a "powerful demon". Do you see that quote on the front cover? "From the producers of Underworld", yeah...it's the exact same story. Exactly the same! A supernatural war hidden from humans where the protagonist is on neither side. Let's just call this 'Underworld: Religious Borefest'. Are there any positives? Eckhart, Otto and Nighy give their best with what was given to them I guess. The effects for the ascension and descension of souls kept my eyes occupied for a while. Also the infrequent action scenes weren't filmed badly at all! It's just weighted down by a horrifically uninspired story that takes itself far too seriously which consequently sucks all the fun out of the film. Completely focussed on building lore and backstory that it becomes a detriment to the narrative flow. Immediately it describes this eternal war and how Frankenstein's monster (named Adam by the way...) is soulless...yet I literally couldn't care less. Exposition after exposition after exposition. You cannot make a compelling story without incorporating fulfilling characters. None of them were even partially developed, just tools in assisting the over reliant visual effects driven fight scenes. Speaking of, the gargoyle and demon designs were blander than Eckhart's half dead face. The final showdown that was built up finishes a minute after it commences. Frankenstein's Monster (I refuse to call him Adam) just mopes around bathing in his own cocoon of self depression where Eckhart does his best Batman impression. Worst of all, the final words of the film were "I...Frankenstein". Yup, I'm not even joking. Perhaps I, Frankenstein should've stayed dead...

Some awkward creatures fight with other creatures, even more awkward. Among them, the creature created from corpses by Victor Frankenstain, Frankenstein, now baptized Adam, much nicer than Boris Karloff. The beautiful monster is Aaron Eckhart. He will interact with the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski (Terra). Everything with the help of Queen Leonore (Miranda Otto), now a woman, in the next second monster. Bill Nighy is a very convincing, very compelling super-villain, very good actor. Successful decorations and costumes, special effects non-stop. But, since the story is just a bad joke, everything is a failure.

Some great casting in this film: Miranda Otto (LotR), Bill Nighy (PotC, Underworld, Harry Potter), Kevin Grevioux (Underworld) but they are all cast in a rather lame Frankenstein film here. The story is rather bad and there is misuse plus over use of CGI.I can forgive terrible special effects but I have problems forgiving a lame story. I really don't know what they were thinking with this one. Sure it's an original story - but just not a good one.Angels that are Gargoyles?! Demons after Frankenstein's Monster aka Adam. Demons planning to launch a war on humans (killing and enslaving them) while Frankenstein's Monster, Adam, is sorta in a "superhero" role - an Anti-Hero I guess he's suppose to be in this film.Points for trying to come up with a new story - something different - but it's not very good and I hate to say that. The film only semi holds my attention.I won't complain to bad, it came in a film pack. lol.4/10

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
