Based on Mary Shelley's novel, "Frankenstein" tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a promising young doctor who, devastated by the death of his mother during childbirth, becomes obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. His experiments lead to the creation of a monster, which Frankenstein has put together with the remains of corpses. It's not long before Frankenstein regrets his actions.

Love the story, however the execution felt rushed and lacking of emotion.

I nearly spit out my teeth when I saw how low Frankenstein (94) score was. This film is quite simply spectacular! It goes in the same category as From Hell, they are both too sophisticated and beautiful to be JUST horror films. The cleverness of this film and its sheer radiance must throw some people off. Kenneth Branagh has always added a bit of class to his films, and his version of Frankenstein is no different. A visually brilliant triumph as a director.

Rather a crap movie (entirely too overwrought), even if it boasts a remarkable cast.

Since I had never seen an adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" before, I couldn't really make a comparison. However, I can unequivocally state that "Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein" is an unmitigated disaster. The direction and acting are both atrocious. Everything is theatrical and melodramatic, with some dizzying camera work. Furthermore, the cast either shouts or whispers every line of dialogue. Even big-name actors like Robert De Niro or Helena Bonham Carter can't save this mess. The film as a whole is really exhausting. Only a few solid makeup effects and costumes prevent an even worse rating from me.

This could have been a far better interpretation of the wonderful story of the man-monster but it lacks potency. Frequently a problem when one of the stars is also the director; the focus becomes a bit blurred and in this - despite the super performance of Robert de Niro in the title role - the resu More

Kenneth Branagh made quite an artistic hit with his first film **HENRY V**. Next, he had great critical and financial success with his popcorn flick,** DEAD AGAIN**! The success of both of those films meant he could take on any project he wanted. He chose **MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN**. He would More

***Gothic mania with Kenneth Branagh, Robert DeNiro and Helena Bonham Carter***

Kenneth Branagh's 1994 version of the oft-filmed Frankenstein story was the most faithful to Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel up to that point, which explains its name. It features fine actors and looks great (sets, costum More

Excellent version of an enduring classic

This is not a monster movie in any shallow slasher sense. It probes and contemplates some eternal questions humans have been pondering for thousands of years, set in a time when so many things we know today were yet unknown, adding to the mystery and horro More
