Review of I, Frankenstein (2014) by Vadim D — 19 Apr 2015

I, Frankenstein is one of those films that studios love to reboot a old classic monster from hundreds of years ago (I know it's probably not that long) and just destroys everything why we love about them. It is just that bad.

Set in a dystopic present where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power, Victor Frankenstein's creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle as both sides race to discover the secret to his immortality.

First of all, the plot make no sense whatsoever. I didn't know what was going during the duration of the movie. No, I didn't care about the characters. Their motivations did not make any sense either. The characters make stupid decisions that us normal people would never do. No, the acting isn't any better. In fact, it is just absolute lump. Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein, Adam, or whatever they call him? He is way too sexy to be Frankenstein.

Even though it has decent action senses, the effects were pretty bad and cheesy as hell. They look like they are from a bad seventies movie. However, they are so much better the effects in The Legend of Hercules. Plus, the action is way too boring to get me excited.

I, Frankenstein is like every action film that comes out of dumping-ground what you call January. It is just as dull, just as uneventful, just as loud, and just as incoherent as every terrible action movie that came out this decade. If you are smart, please avoid I, Frankenstein like the plague. Oh did I mention this movie was in 3D? I am pretty sure that the 3D didn't help.
