this movie be simply awful . i be force to watch this piece of fecal matter cinema while take an english analysis and interpretation class . we be focus on mary shelley brilliant and terrifying and and splendid novel and and our professor be introduce u to different modern interpretation . why they call this movie mary shelley frankenstein and i do not know and since it veer off so wildly from the original book and it will make any literature fan head spin . i know and even the original frankenstein film wasn not close to the book at all and but at least it be do stylistically well and be merely base on the book rather than be tout a the close adaptation of the book like this one be . everything about this movie be bad and except the costume and makeup . the script be awful and much of the dialogue laughable if nothing else and and even the most interesting scene only inspire boredom . this film have such a great cast represent de niro and helena bonham carter and ian holm and tom hulce and and director branaugh . but all fail miserably here . mostly thank to this monster of a script . take my advice . stay away . read the book . the original 1818 version . rent the original james whale masterpiece of the delightful parody young frankenstein by mel brook . this creature be well leave dead .
