Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hulce, Helena Bonham Carter, Aidan Quinn, Ian Holm and John Cleese star in Branagh's acclaimed adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. True to the original, here is the story of a young doctor whose obsession with death leads him to create a life. But his "creature" crafted from the bodies of convicts and the brain of a brilliant scientist, is a hideous mockery of humanity. And when the creature realizes he will never be accepted by men, he seeks revenge on Dr. Frankenstein and his family. An inspired adaptation that's emotionally complex and truly terrifying.

User Reviews about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

It was close the book, and helped me understand what I read a little better... There were some differences- like the monster didn't kill Henry- and Victor never made the bride (come to life that is)... he threw her in a lake... but hey- you have to adapt it. So I give it 4 stars! :) -- Very Good Interpretation...
It takes it's time to get to what you want to see and when it does it makes up for the time lost,Robert De Niro Nailed it.While it might be absurd to compare,this Modern day Frankenstein is intelligently done and yet you feel just as you would in the original for the so-called monster,a Monster made by man,a cautionary tale perhaps that when men think they can be God there are consequences. -- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
1. I've read M Shelly's Frankenstein and whether or not this film is true to the book 92% vs 98% is in many ways besides the point because this film is just excellent. As with all great films, it has the magical mix of solid writing, solid acting and of course an classic story to tell. All in all, an excellent film. Well Done. -- Completely... Excellent
My english lit. teacher assigned this movie for our final exam. I bought it and love it. It was really a good movie and not as how I remembered the frankenstein movies growing up. I really enjoyed it. -- English Literature assignment
This lines comes from a conversation between Victor and the Creature where he describes the intense mix of love and rage swirling inside of him. "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" was somewhat maligned by critics which is a surprise to me given that it is the best, most beautifully acted, written, and produced version of the classic horror stoty. It's also the only version true to Mary Shelley's vision. Despite the criticisms, I watch the movie in awe, as ot captures very element to such superb and emotionally devastating levels, it ranks as one of my favorites of all time. Want a cast? Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonhan Carter, John Cleese (unrecognizable), Tom Hulce, Iam Holm, among others and of course, a stunning performance by Robert DeNiro as the creature. The Creature, as in Shelley's version, is articulate, sympathetic, and terrifying. An abandoned, deformed child in a world that reacts with cruelty and rejection, leading him to lay siege to his maker and all he holds dear. Everything is spot on. The cinematography is no short of exhilarating, both in its panoramic shots of the swiss alps to it's candle lit interiors. The score by Patrick Doyle is robust, sweeping, and romantic. Branagh the director does not shy away from brutality and gore and the visual and make-up effects are superior and visceral. This is the definitive version in my mind. It looks stunning on Blu-ray as this is a Sony catalogue title, it has been given a painstaking remaster and its a revelation and will send your standard copies to the trash can. Superb and will remain a favorite of mine for years to come. -- "If I cannot satisfy the one...I will indulge the other."
