I loved DeNiro's Frankenstein. Helena Bonham Carter as the bride was really freaky and far sadder the bride in the classic film of the '30s.

Aye!

I always found Frankenstein a more tragic tale of the two. You actually pity the monster when reading the book. He is rejected by his own creator, what can be worse than that.
Movie Trivia Fact : O.J. Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - Agent Kay - Men in Black

I've never seen the 1990s Frankenstein, but I do remember the countless boob shots in Dracula.  :thumbup:

Hmmm... I think I may have misunderstood the point of the last two posts.

Love both characters equal.

As for movies, Frankenstein is much more sympathetic. No one has improved on Lugosi and Karloff.

Are you talking about the film or the book?

Film: I prefer the first one, One of my favorites. I've seen the other, but I never cared for it.

Book: Read both of them. There again I prefer the first. One of my favorites, especially in an annotated version. The second one, while readable, is a bit of a slog. The first one is more readable (IMHO.)
