Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Christopher L I really enjoyed so many elements of this film visually, and I thought De Niro made a great monster, however this is overall a pretty difficult movie to get through. Cringe worthy in so many places and overly dramatic when it should play its cards more subtle and somber. This could have been a home run with a more seasoned director. Worth one watch just to say you’ve seen it and for De Niro, and that’s only if you’re having a hard time finding something to watch. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Rami A Kenneth Branagh must have confused the plot of the novel with another one of Shakespeare's plays. It's hard to miss, and that just hurts this movie. The misplaced elements not only detract from the story’s original essence but also leave viewers feeling disconnected from the characters. The richness of the source material deserves better than to be overshadowed by such glaring inconsistencies. Overall, it feels like a missed opportunity to bring a timeless tale to life with the depth and nuance it truly deserves. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Carlos I Kenneth Branagh's 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is an unfairly derided film that, while not as scary or consistently compelling as its source material demands, offers a surprisingly rich and thought-provoking experience. It boasts a lot of interesting thematic and visual ideas, delving into the philosophical and emotional turmoil of creation and abandonment. Furthermore, the movie features a series of truly fantastic performances, most notably from Branagh himself as Victor Frankenstein and Robert De Niro as the Creature, both delivering intense and nuanced portrayals that elevate the material. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review tim s This version of the classic tale lacks the genuine scares indicative of the original story, and some scenes are overly dramatic, but it’s a welcome adaptation, nonetheless. Kenneth Branagh is convincingly obsessive as Viktor Frankenstein, and Robert De Niro brings a hint of humanity to his role as the monster. One detail I particularly enjoy is that, as the movie progresses, the red scarring around the monster’s stitching heals and fades. You can truly feel the weight of Dr. Frankenstein’s actions as he comes to realize the consequences of his dark obsession.
