Review of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) by Kevin R — 02 Sep 2011
Upon reading the original novel (I think the original 1818 edition and not the second revised edition) I can see the problems with adapting this story faithfully. It is a good story but feels a little dated. You also have the classic films long legacy to contend with and modern movie going audience demands. Add that all up and you get this, DeNiro as the monster in an updated yet mostly faithful film which didn't meet the viewer or critics expectations.
This film could have been better but is still pretty good, not great. Yes, as I see in a review on the right. It is a better film than '92's Dracula.
