For a while this was my most anticipated movie of the year until I saw trailers for F1. As you can tell by the title of this post, I have never seen a single Frankenstein movie. The main reason I wanted to see this is because of Mr. del Toro and how amazed I was by Pinocchio. A tale semi-old as time, douchebag surgeon Victor Frankenstein swears to "overcome death" by reanimating a corpse after witnessing the death of his mother.
I wasn't as amazed by the movie as I would've liked, but it was good. Its biggest strongpoints were the acting, cinematography, and settings. The titular character's transition from the douchebag scientist who believed he could play God to the sick regretful loser we see by the movie's end was relatively smooth. Pretty much everyone in the movie did a good job, but Jacob Elordi was FANTASTIC and was pretty much the best thing about the movie. I was already well aware he could act thanks to bits and pieces of Euphoria. But his animalistic but gentle, almost baby-like portrayal of the monster (or the creature in this case) was kind of brilliant. I was very impressed.
So yeah, I'm good with the movie. Thanks For Reading
