This film is based off the graphic novel created by Kevin Grevoux.
This film was directed by Stuart Beattie. This film is a standard supernatural action film. The real complication with this film is that a lot of the plot feels rehashed from Underworld (2003) and from Van Helsing (2004). The other complication is that the greatest feature of Frankenstein's creation is that it is a loathed monster with a confused soul. The saddened horror is what makes Frankenstein such a great classic. This film does not generate enough emotional pull to make audiences cheer for any of the characters. The creatures designs were all right. The effects for the gargoyles were great on screen. The demons were good in their human form with red eyes. Their creature design was good, but not great on screen. The image created for Frankenstein looked great on screen. The only unfortunate trait is that the creatures, apart from Frankenstein, appeared too vulnerable. Their only strength comes from massive numbers. The background design served its purpose, but failed to leave a lasting impression. The action was enjoyable to watch. There had been talks about a sequel, or an Underworld cross-over film. However, this seems unlikely due to the films failure. Aaron Eckhart played the role of Adam Frankenstein. He gave a more intelligent and aggressive feel to this character; which worked for the purposes of the film. The story did not allow enough room to create any real emotion. Miranda Otto played the role of Leonore the Gargoyle Queen. She played the typical warrior queen of light; regal and kindhearted. Bill Nighy played the role of Prince Naberius. His character felt fairly familiar to his role in Underworld-just lest defined.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! It serves as a decent supernatural action film, but nothing else.
