Yes. They were literally Masterpieces. Why do you think Frankenstein has been put on the screen almost 1000x?

This forum is just for haters. You know what's going to be here before you click on the thread.
I haven't seen the movie but the book monster is a tragic figure. He's a very sympathetic character who just wants to live in peace and mostly kills people either by accident or because he snaps from being rejected and misunderstood. He is also tortured with guilt over the people he does kill. He eventually learns to read and finds out his origin and asks Frankenstein for a companion. He starts to make her and then decides he doesn't want to start a race of monsters and destroys her. The monster vows revenge and kills Frankenstein's wife when he gets married. Frankenstein tries to hunt him down in the Arctic but doesn't have as much stamina as the monster. When Frankenstein dies (of hypothermia), the monster actually mourns him. It's really not a story that makes a fun Hollywood slasher movie.

100% When my daughter had to read the book for school I asked her before she read it, "who is the monster?" Well of course she answered the monster itself. I had her keep that idea in her mind as she read the book and like halfway through she's like, " Dr Frankenstein is an a$$hole" So who is the monster. Books like this and movies like Bladerunner are awesome because they make you think, and contemplate right and wrong. I'm sad the reviews have been so bad as I love Frankenstein and was hoping this movie would do for it what Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings.

If you really want to see how fucked up this is..you dont turst me.....but sh0e is funny so:Anyway saying what I will about this movie, GDT did a BBC interview and its one of the better director bits I've seen, in that he is an immediately likeable dude. He came across certain ways when doing his Cribs-style shit back in the Pan's Labyrinth days (kind of hard to not seem autistic when you watch movies on a couch with a lifesized Exorcist figure), but he's mellowed considerably in old age. A good director that is talented in the thing that he does, even if a certain uhhhh pattern has emerged over time.
