Victor Frankenstein
(2015)
Directed by Paul
McGuigan this film stars James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe and Jessica
Brown Findlay. Saved from the circus and cured of being a hunchback a
young man becomes the assistant to a medical student conducting dark
experiments.
Taking a classic story
this film attempts to put a modern twist on it but ends up being
decidedly disappointing. Shoe horning in action and rattling through
things at a break neck pace just dilutes the content leaving a weaker
version of Mary Shelley's classic tale. James McAvoy does his best to
chew the scenery but can't manage to carry the film.
2/5
