Review of Victor Frankenstein (2015) by Ydnar4 — 18 Feb 2016

Yet another version of the world famous Frankenstein novel Victor Frankenstein is a blend of several genres and it is really difficult to find a specific one that it fits under. This movie is intended to be reimagining of the classic tale but there is still not anything revolutionary going on.

I enjoyed the first two acts of this film it may not have been the story that I was looking for but there was some fun to be had. In the third act though, everything falls apart in just a few scenes and it completely drags on and when the time comes you are not invested in the ending at all.

James McAvoy was really the reason I watched this film in the first place and he is great here but there is some pretty obvious overacting in spots. Radcliffe is pretty solid as well as he often is.
