This film is loosely based of the 1818 novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley. After Victor Frankenstein rescues Igor from the circus, he convinces Igor to assist him in creating a creature that will live beyond death.
This film was directed by Paul McGuigan. This film is meant to act as a re-imagining of the classic tale. However, this film only takes some liberties in changing the classic story, but keeps to the same familiar story. What keeps this film fresh is the take on the two popular characters. There are a few moments when the story gets strange, and some moments were it isn't logically explained. But, there is plenty of humor and emotion given to the two central characters. The computer animated homunculus was unique and unexpected. The animation used to create the creature was great and frightening to watch on screen. Even though the two main characters were enjoyable, there wasn't anything to create interesting secondary characters. Daniel Radcliffe played the role of Igor. His physical performance was great. His overall performance was very heart wrenching. James McAvoy played the role of Victor Frankenstein. He gave an eccentric character some emotion.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It has a lot of potential to be a great retelling, but it falls short of being highly creative.
This film can be seen in theaters.
