Ratings and reviews

Another "Van Helsing: i have a mortgage to pay bollocks." The supposed plot makes no sense. Love Bill Nighy, but he and Harvey Dent are wasted in this CGI shambles. You can tout "Underworld," but without a leather-bedecked Kate Beckinsdale, it's a moot point. And there is no Scott Speedman as "I am a normal person swept up in this madness" to identify with. The creature-protagonist just seems to pout and scowl a lot. The creature, and possibly Eckhart, just needs to get laid.

For all you trolls dissing frank wasent just dug up and given a new brain he was made from the peices of over nine diff men all rapest murder'ers and crimanals alike but while his oragins and maker might have been evil he wasnt. And its a modern day twist on the story not the origanal.

Mary Shelley, writing in the original story, had the monster say "I am malicious because I am miserable." Perhaps this is why the monster has evolved in popular culture to be transcendent over the principal character, the so-called Dr. Frankenstein, who has devolved into a nondescript footnote in this modern take. I found this version on the better path frankly and enjoyed watching it for the buried details of its current iteration. Plus great CGI and robust action. Worthy of more consideration.
