Based on Mary Shelley's novel 'Frankenstein', Victor Frankenstein is directed by Paul McGuigan center on the relationship between these two men: Dr. Frankenstein and Igor Strausman. They share a vision of humanity through their research into immortality. When Victor's experiments with life & death go too far, and his obsession has horrifying consequences, only Igor can bring his friend back and save him from his monstrous creation.
To avoid the accusation that it's an unnecessary remake of an oft-told story, screenwriter Max Landis has reduced Mary Shelly's cautionary tale to a bad comic book, bereft of soul and intelligence.
Maybe it's time to create new monsters instead of trying to bring back the ones we know, sadly, I think everything that we could do with them has been done. [Full review in Spanish]
McGuigan's visually vivid Victor Frankenstein races to its lightning-storm finish, running over the solid (if not electrifying) acting of McAvoy and Radcliffe.
Only Radcliffe escapes unscathed, lending Igor a convincing psychology despite the ham-fistedness of the material. But he's not enough of a reason to resurrect this story again.
Comedy, tragedy, horror, fantasy, romance... all of this is part of Victor Frankenstein, and yet it feels like it lacks all of that. That's bad. [Full review in Spanish]
