Review of Victor Frankenstein (2015) by Danburrito — 23 Jun 2016
Victor Frankenstein is not without its flaws, but on the whole, it's an interesting, visually striking and thoroughly well-acted take on a classic tale. Daniel Radcliffe gives an impressive performance as Igor, James McAvoy does a good job as the title character and Andrew Scott makes for a good antagonist.
As I mentioned, I did have a few gripes- not all of the plot elements were entirely plausible and the only major female character in the movie does pretty much nothing for the plot. That said, there is still plenty to enjoy in the movie- McAvoy and Radcliffe had great chemistry and the production design was amazing.
Overall, Victor Frankenstein may anger purists, but it's a fun movie that gives an iconic tale an intruiging twist. 7/10.
