To say that “I, Frankenstein<\/a>” was a waste of time would be an understatement<\/strong>. Let’s talk plainly here… A toddler\/ dog\/ cat could have seen this trailer and automatically knew this wasn’t going to be a Hollywood masterpiece<\/strong>. This movie is about Gargoyles, Demons and Frankenstein!!!<\/strong> The dialogue looks stupid and clich\u00e9d, the action looks boring and uninspired, even the actors look bored and uninterested. I even asked myself if the movie was made BY middle school children FOR middle school children.<\/p>\n

\"I,Set in modern times, Frank is over 200 years old and gets caught in the middle of a war going on between gargoyles, demons, and other fantastical characters. Clearly this isn’t Karloff’s \u201cFrankenstein\u201d<\/em><\/strong>; it’s more in the vein of stylized Gothic action films like \u201cUnderworld<\/a>\u201d or\u201d Blade<\/a>\u201d, but in a more \u201cfail\u201d<\/strong><\/em> , than \u201cwin\u201d<\/strong><\/em> situation. Gone is the stumbling, sympathetic horror of the Mary Shelley; instead we have a Batman-wannabe shooting for mysteriously cool, and coming off as just lazy and unrelatable kitsch protagonist.<\/p>\n

All of the fight scenes are bland and dull with redundant, badly executed CGI<\/strong>. Perhaps the most frustrating example of this is that every time a demon is killed on screen, it turns into a swirling fireball. This effect looked cool for about a minute and it quickly got stale, especially when the demons are dying left and right and the effects start to look like they’ve been copied and pasted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, Frankenstein\u201d<\/em> is not a TOTAL mess<\/strong>. The film does contain some impressive special effects, as well as a cast of reasonably well-known actors that help the audience to trudge through the incredibly predictable and uninteresting story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
