there be simply no excuse for this film . if it be mean to be a stylised melodramatic version of the novel and then by any standard of artistic taste it should be melodramatic and not a disastrously badly write hotch potch of cinematic idea . the melodrama merely make the viewer run to vomit in the kitchen sink . the cast be fantastic and stellar while but they be make to spew such insipid and laughable line that i would not be surprise if not a single one of them doesn not regret be in it except kenneth branagh and who be probably still in denial about blot his brilliant career with this utter tripe . the 1931 version deviate seriously from the book and but be a quality film . this version stick close to mary shelley story but be somehow much more of a deviation a deviation away from a sense of style and wit and and the change the writer have make ( justine or victor or elizabeth love triangle . ) be simply disastrous . i thoroughly enjoy watch this movie i laugh pretty much all the way through . if you want to watch a bad bad film and this be the one for you . it be the best and bad film i have ever see .
