Exposition and CGI

I, Frankenstein (2014)

Directed by Stuart Beattie this film based on the graphic novel of the same name stars Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranada Otto. Frankenstein's monster is caught up in a war between the servants of heaven and hell.

There is a ton of potential in the set up of this film but it is all largely squandered as exposition regularly fills in instead of character. It is not surprising that the same writer also created the Underworld series as a lot of the same material is recycled here. Apart from exposition the only other thing on show here is CGI by the bucket load and a suspect growl from Eckhart.


2/5
