'Victor Frankenstein' ends up being just another movie, with a sequel suggestion included. [Full Review in Spanish]

[The] actors made the choice to treat this script as award-worthy material instead of the hilarious schlock it is, and the performances are gorgeously melodramatic.

Victor Frankenstein is refreshingly character-driven and has a sense of joy in its storytelling that makes this great-grandfather of the corpse resurrection genre seem fresh and alive.

Hammier than a ham and pineapple pizza without the pesky fruit, Victor Frankenstein fair rattles along as an epically daft but curiously enjoyable gothic horror.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22,

Settings that Shelley probably envisioned, a cast that is intensely engaging, a bit of a love story, high action, and special effects bring life to a story that was otherwise thought dead.

There is some spectacle here but the story never achieves lift-off, and with McAvoy eventually over-doing the mad-scientist stuff, it crashes and burns somewhere in predictably storm-swept Scotland.

Even though you know how the story goes (mad scientist creates monster out of dead body parts, with horrifying consequences), there are some great twists in this version.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20,

There isn't enough emotional backstory given to McAvoy's character to care about whether or not he manages to bring the monster to life.
