I, Frankenstein

Based on a popular comic, I FRANKENSTEIN takes all we know about Dr. Frankenstein’s monster and completely blows it away. 200 years after the snowy death of his creator, Frankenstein’s monster is rescued from a demon attack by an angelic gargoyle order charged with saving mankind. He is given the name Adam and welcomed by the gargoyles but instead decides to go it on his own for a couple hundred years and take his anger issues out on any demon he can find. 

This one does have on plot issue that really didn’t quite blend with the rest of the movie. When the gargoyles first approach Adam he is embraced basically right away, but there is one huge reason he should not have been and it wasn’t really addressed properly. The problem wasn’t that he was created from  the parts of a dozen dead men either. Without this issue however we lose some of the deeper messages in this story so I will leave that to you to figure out. Ultimately a message about how our actions ultimately make up who we are and not our beginnings. Above the layers of human drama (Frankenstein’s coming to grip with his creation and betraying it), suffering (over 200 years of Adam coming to the realization that he was more than a monster, more than his first actions when he came to life), rage (the almost impossible challenge of trusting when all that you have faced has labeled you something for your mistakes), loss (never knowing what it was like to be loved) and redemption this movie actually has some amazing action sequences that make it worth its weight in gold if you just came to see what was in the previews.

Of all the movies in this genre, some of which are better in my eyes, this one had by far the best most satisfying wrap up of them all. In spite of its name sake this movie is far more unique than a lot of what we are seeing these days. In fact, it’s what the movie fans of this genre have been screaming for.  Also for anyone that had an issue with the name of the movie, this flick actually takes time to appease your criticism concerning that.

I give this movie a 6 out of 7. Rating Definition – A SPECTACULAR MARVEL OF AWESOMENESS THAT MAKES CUTE CAT VIDEOS LOOK LIKE THE HUGEST WASTE OF YOUR TIME IN HISTORY. This is the movie that you will try and walk by at the store and not be able to. You will buy it forgetting you already have it. Then one day a friend will come to your house. They will tell you how much they love this movie and you won’t even tell them you have 2 in your collection. Because you can’t give it up. You have to have 2.
