as far a this film go a a horror film and it not that great . it be make more for entertain the mind that give you nightmare . the act wasn not too hot and scripting be a little corny and and story be deliberately alter in some very serious way from the book . i wouldn not get so much on this movie case if it wasn not advertise a mary shelley frankenstein . the story only resemble that of the book . before you go and invest three buck in this movie ( or however much closeout movie cost in your area ) please read the book . it be a beautiful piece of literature that have never be successfully portray on the silver screen . i expect truncation and sure and what story adapt for the theater doesn not . but it not so much they remove portion and they incorporate segment of their own design . and bad one at that . so bad it negate much of what the original story have to offer . please do not be fool by the title mary shelley frankenstein because it not . watch this a one of those want to be dramatic and but do not quite make it movie . please branagh and lady and spare u the grief and actually read the book before you blunder into put someone else name on your crap .
