StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Cunninghamolga This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

George Taylor Incredibly bad movie has the creation of Frankenstein involved in a war between heaven and hell. Just bad all around, what happened to Aaron Eckhart? Why do a lame movie for this, just for money, I'd imagine. Waste of time.

leechetty-02035 If you didn't watch this movie then you haven't missed out on much. If you watched the first 10 minutes of it you quickly realize how it's going to end. The main character is far from scary or far from a monster and I wish I would stop seeing Bill Nighy in these kind of movies, Underworld was enough but I do really like him as an actor.

The Movie Diorama 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...

punisherversion1 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.
