deniro play frankenstein monster be great idea and and the performance feel true to the character in the book . sadly it come off a if he be cut out from another film and paste into this farce . see it in the theater back in 1994 and i be embarrass for everyone involve except for branagh and who can share the blame with the producer in make this thing . grow adult be point at the screen and laughing and and not just when john cleese show up . his scene be the first unintentionally funny one cleese dour character be straight out of about twenty python sketch . but the birth scene and drip not just with melted jello but with shallow and pointless undercurrent of mother and child and homo eroticism and be make more ridiculous with comically time editing . it one of the bad thing i have ever see in a hollywood movie . you have get to wonder what people be think sometimes when make a horror film do branagh and or whoever have final cut of this thing and get chill up their spine at any point . could they feel anything other than blind and empty sensation . yeah . that do something . yeah and it make the movie really suck . this movie be a lot of thing and mostly a really good lesson in really bad film making and but it be not scary and nor do it carry any of the message or subtext of shelly book . one would like to think that branagh approach this a an assignment with a big paycheck and which could cut him off from some of the blame and but from his blustery and overstuffed interview at the time and he take it and and himself and very and very and very and very seriously and and i be sure he think he be add something profound to the great cannon of the frankenstein legend . what a pompous fraud .
