Good Movies / Frankenstein (2025)
Last post by Dr. Whom - November 24, 2025, 05:28:24 PMThe Guilliermo del Toro version, of course.
For me, this is in the 'Beautiful but boring' category. I had given up on it about halfway, and had to push myself to finish it.
If you stick to the classic story (as here is the case), the main interest lies in the interaction between Frankenstein and the creature. Yet here the creature doesn't appear for the first hour or so. What you get is an extensive (and mostly by the numbers) backstory of Victor Frankenstein, which holds very little interest, as you know where it will lead to.
Once the creature appears, and we get its perspective, things get a lot more interesting. Seeing as the movie is on Netflix, I'd say do yourself a favour and fast forward through the first part.
Visually, it is stunning. Enormous care has gone into the production design, which is magnificent. It simply takes too long to get going, but that is a complaint I have with a lot of contemporary movies.

Last post by Alex - November 24, 2025, 11:11:43 AMHmm, well for a long time you were number one every year, then I think in trumps first year of his first term you dropped down to 5th or 6th. This year I don't know exactly where the US is, but it isn't in the top ten any more. The greatest country in the world is now seen as being Japan, followed by Germany with Canada in third.
I was more just curious though how many other people had heard of it or watched it.
