Victor Frankenstein Reviews

This was gayer than i remembered

Circus boy turned into a pretty boi!

Rating: 4.7/10 ⭐️

I expected a fresh take on the classic monster story, but the chaotic tone and messy script left me super underwhelmed.

What Worked:
Wagner’s cinematography uses practical lighting to give 1860s London a wonderfully textured feel. McAvoy brings incredible, manic energy to Victor. Through my Methodist faith lens, seeing Victor try to manufacture life out of death powerfully reinforced my beliefs about the sacred nature of God’s design and the heavy consequences of playing creator.

The Cuts:
Landis’ script gave me total tonal whiplash, aggressively jumping from buddy-comedy to dark body horror. The middle part really dragged for me, spinning its wheels on generic romance tropes instead of moving the story forward. Keeping it spoiler-free, the massive final showdown abandons all psychological tension for a loud CGI mess that totally robbed the climax of real weight.

Verdict:
A visually solid but tonally confused mess. Skippable unless you're a die-hard fan of the actors.

Favorite Line: “You are my greatest creation.”

Great

7/10

Awesome

the originality of this one remains one of the greatest, even if it is a remake, humans will never be able to create a life from nothing.

James McAvoy never fails to amaze me, and nor does Daniel Radcliffe through their acting in this particular movie.

I mean is an interesting take on the dynamic of two characters important in pop culture even though one of them literally does not exist in the novel, so like a fanfic of a fanfic lol. Both actors are very good in it even though is not the most memorable Frankenstein story

I definitely wasn’t expecting the puss part 😶but once I put on my big girl pants I really did enjoy this. I was awake for the entire thing 🫡

Un film sur Frankenstein est qui le place en premier plan et non le monstre

Acting was GREAT

eh

⭐️✨

Con este reparto es imposible hacerlo mal

8/10

Great movie. I love the aesthetic and the gothic style of the movie. I liked the story.

This was great to watch.

It was okay!

Pretty solid first 3/4 but sorta falls flat in the climax
