Frankenstein (2015)

I've read the original book and seen countless movies on this.Totally crap! 2 stars for the actor portraying the monster.Totally crap and disappointing!

Watching a clean shaven, unblemished young man behaving like a new-born baby can be a disconcerting thing; watching the early scenes of this, I was very much put in mind of Nicholas Roeg's 'The Man Who Fell to Earth (1973)'. Whereas David Bowie's John Newton was an alien, Xavier Samuel's 'Adam' is very much a construct from Earth technology, namely that of Viktor Frankenstein. 'This is not what I intended,' he admits when his attractive creation quickly begins to sprout lesions and decomposing skin, and is driven to end his progeny's short life.Adam's strength, however, prevents him from an early death and soon he is roaming the outside world, uncertain and physically powerful, meeting resentment and misunderstandings along the way. The police officer who interrogates him speaks as ignorant people speak to foreigners; the thought being 'if I shout loud enough he will understand'.The problem with adaptions of Mary Shelly's story is that it has been done so many times, it must be a huge challenge to still make the tale relevant and involving without criticisms of re-treading the same ground'. The other option is to add new layers and tweak the narrative so that it is laid open to criticisms that it strays so far from the original and that it is 'Frankenstein' in name only. By moving events into the present, and creating a version of the monster so entrenched in modern times, this version manages to be both faithful to the original, as well as adding a new dimension to it.A tremendous central performance from Samuel ensures the audience is on 'Monster's side at all times, even when he kills his only true friend, blind Eddie (Tony Todd), with whom there are scenes that even inject an affectionate humour into the proceedings.Directed by Bernard Rose, who, amongst other things is responsible for 1988's dream/horror 'Paperhouse', this is a thoroughly enjoyable, intelligent and refreshing adaptation of the well-known story, its release coinciding with that of 'Victor Frankenstein', starring bankable names Daniel Radcliffe and McAvoy.

Frankenstein 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.

6.75 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.
