This is such a bad movie!! Why does Kenneth Branagh keep doing this? He's very gifted but seems to take things too far. And this is a prime example. I couldn't watch the whole thing. At first it was like watching the proverbial train wreck. But then I started telling myself that my time was worth more than this. My goal was to plug through it but ended up writing this instead. And it was nominated? I wonder by whom...

Synopsis
In 1794, in the Arctic Sea, Captain Robert Walton is a man obsessed to reach the North Pole, pushing his crew to exhaustion. When his ship hits an iceberg, it is stranded in the ice. Out of the blue, Captain Walton and his men overhear a dreadful cry and they see a stranger coming to the ship. He introduces himself as Victor Frankenstein and he tells the Captain the story of his life since he was a little boy in Geneva. Victor is a barilliant student, and in love with his stepsister Elizabeth, an orphan that was raised by his father Baron Victor von Frankenstein. In 1793, Victor moves to Ingolstadt to study at the university, and he promises to get married to Elizabeth. At the university, Victor befriends Henry Clerval, who becomes his best friend. Victor gets close to Professor Waldman and decides to create life to cheat death, but Waldman advises him that he should not try this experiment, since the result would be an abomination. When Waldman dies, Victor steals his notes and tries to create life. He succeeds and gives life to a strong Creature, composed of parts of deceased people. However, he realizes that his experiment is a mistake and he abandons the Creature, expecting that it will die alone. However the Creature survives and learns how to read and write, but he is a monster rejected by society and his own creator. The Creature decides to seek revenge from Victor by killing everyone he loves. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Why does Kenneth Branagh keep doing this?
It got close
I certainly thought this movie got close to being good, especially near the end. Fr the most part however, it wasn't that memorable. I really do like Robert DeNiro as Frankenstein's monster. I didn't recognize him at all! The movie starts with Victor Frankenstein going to the North Pole. Wait, I thought this was a
Frankenstein movie, not a Santa Claus movie! We see all the events that led up to this.
It seems to take too long for the monster to appear. I have never read the original novel, but I did read this play version and it seems to be pretty faithful. The full title IS "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein". For some reason, I thought it was just called "Frankenstein". It definitely has its good points and I guess if you're bored, you can watch it. It's just not too good. **1/2
Good film work.
Evaluation that it made too much contemporaryly is a little bad but I do not think this is a bit ... Anyway, this movie is a rare outstanding work making use of circular work literature as it is ... Doctor who created a monster will be faithful to its duty.
De Niro who came out on the monster showed really nice performance. Feeling I threw myself Monster begins very miserable revenge, the process was entirely somututo. But in the end they all leave everything and then leave somewhere and appear again...
The scene I will not forget is the scene that my father, he did not give me a name ... suddenly become very sad. But, in the end, Frankenstein is feeling that the world without his father feels that he
can not exist and disappears again. ..
The scene where I feel that there is no meaning in the world without my father who created myself as just one human, not the last multiple destroyers, was really good. It is a highly recommended work ...
