Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì
Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein—interesting introduction to the Frankenstein story—accesses the talents of Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, and Helena Bonham Carter to retell this old story. This Frankenstein story sits among one of the best movie renditions made.
Storyline
Dr. Frankenstein successfully creates a living creature.
