Frankenstein
Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Critics Sentiment
Lightning strikes and successfully animates the assembled Creature
The Creature demands a companion during William and Elizabeth's wedding
The film drops significantly from the beloved blind man friendship sequence to the rushed wedding confrontation, losing nearly 2.5 points.
Del Toro's Frankenstein earns consistent praise for its visual mastery and Elordi's performance, particularly during the Creature's creation and his relationship with the blind patriarch. While some critics found certain story changes unnecessary and pacing uneven in the final act, the film's gothic atmosphere and emotional core resonated strongly with most reviewers.
