Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
When the brilliant but unorthodox scientist Victor Frankenstein rejects the artificial man that he has created, the revenge-minded Creature, relying on a shared telepathic connection, begins to track Victor.

I'm inclined to give it an 8 now. The more you watch, the more you appreciate how Branagh was able to faithfully retell Shelley's novel while still managing to make it fresh and make it relevant.

Uma das mais fiéis e complexas adaptações da história original, respeitando seus temas principais mesmo que desviando-se, aqui e ali, de pontos específicos da trama.

Different look at the old Frankenstein story, directed by Branagh.

Branagh's ambitious take succeeds as a cautionary tale about true monstrosity: hubris and man's inhumanity to man. But one man's operatic style is another man's unintentionally comical excess, and...Frankenstein certainly tempts fate... [Blu-ray]

Mr. Branagh is in over his head. He displays neither the technical finesse to handle a big, visually ambitious film nor the insight to develop a stirring new version of this story.

Branagh is very obsessed with chewing the scenery. So much so that he even manages to outdo Robert DeNiro.

Branagh doesn't evoke terror, only repulsion.

Watching the movie work itself into an operatic frenzy, one remains curiously detached: the grand gestures are there, but where's the music?

Clearly, one person's authentic homage is another person's overwrought teeth-gnashing fest, as Branagh's film never hesitates to slop on the melodramatic mustard.

Not frightening, just silly.

As this movie switches, unevenly, from swashbuckling adventure to classic horror to frilly-shirted romance to campiness to graphic gorefest, there's no telling what you're watching.

Kenneth Branagh has indeed created a monster, but not the kind he originally envisioned.
