Victor Frankenstein Movie User Reviews

No movie captures the theme of the mad scientist better than this movie. James McAvoy's depiction of Victor Frankenstein is a show stopper. He absolutely carries the movie. His performance is fantastic. The movie also contains a finale that can be best described as hysterical. It must be seen to be believed and enjoyed. It is one of the great endings in recent movie history, maybe in all of movie history. That scene alone is worth the price of admission. In a way, this movie is a throw back to the movies of the 1930s, replete with all the electrical gadgetry, castles and large cavernous interiors with open roofs to let in the lightening. Electricity plays a key role in the story. The pacing of the story is fast and relentless. This Victor Frankenstein is truly obsessed, indeed frantic. Nothing will stop him from creating life out of nothing. But although obsessed, he is also engaging and charming, albeit erratic to the point of distraction. But that's to be expected from a scientist who's into what he's into. Daniel Radcliffe is also excellent as Igor, but this is James McAvoy's movie. Essentially, this movie is a prequel to the actual, well-known Frankenstein story. The movie also contains a moral: when you create a monster you must be able to kill it too. Otherwise you're asking for trouble. What was Frankenstein doing before he created the monster played by Boris Karloff? To find out, watch the movie.
