Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Although all of the characters in these monster movies are fictional, when stories are reinterpreted too far from their original story lines they tend to fail. Frankenstien, in the main, was originally concieved as an idea which wrestled with the struggle between the scientific endeavour and the natural order or things, not a story of the battle between demons and angels (gargoyles in this instance). The spiritual element of the minsters quest only touched the original story due to the prominent religious world view of the times. In my view this movies failed and is rated so because it stretches the concept held in our minds beyond it's original narative.

In a fantastic world where godly gargoyles fought against the evil demons, each of them disguised as humans and living among them, Frankenstein, the creature, is brought to life by an ingenious scientist. Here, he gets caught in the middle as the demon prince wants to study him in order to create an enormous army. Thus, he must choose which side he's on before humanity gets threatened with extinction.It's a gorgeously animated world, looking impressive from any point of view, in which a large scale war is unraveling. Frankenstein is forced to take action as he becomes the most wanted for the demons, but his soulless nature is going to play a big role in the upcoming future. As I said, it looks astonishing, and although its story isn't, by far, groundbreaking, nor its characters, its action scenes, together with some dramatic ones will definitely create an enjoyable view. I know it's not a flawless movie, but I consider it pretty underrated for what it offers in comparison with what it promised to deliver.

Some great casting in this film: Miranda Otto (LotR), Bill Nighy (PotC, Underworld, Harry Potter), Kevin Grevioux (Underworld) but they are all cast in a rather lame Frankenstein film here. The story is rather bad and there is misuse plus over use of CGI.I can forgive terrible special effects but I have problems forgiving a lame story. I really don't know what they were thinking with this one. Sure it's an original story - but just not a good one.Angels that are Gargoyles?! Demons after Frankenstein's Monster aka Adam. Demons planning to launch a war on humans (killing and enslaving them) while Frankenstein's Monster, Adam, is sorta in a "superhero" role - an Anti-Hero I guess he's suppose to be in this film.Points for trying to come up with a new story - something different - but it's not very good and I hate to say that. The film only semi holds my attention.I won't complain to bad, it came in a film pack. lol.4/10

Aaron Eckhart is cast as Frankensteins' Monster in this elaborate but so-so screen adaptation of the graphic novel created by Kevin Grevioux. (Grevioux also co-stars, as an imposing henchman named Dekar.) After the deaths of both Elizabeth and Victor F., The Monster is soon attacked by Demons. He learns that there's been a war waging for centuries, between Gargoyles (the good guys) and these aforementioned Demons (the baddies). The Monster also learns that there's a head Demon named Naberius (Bill Nighy) who wants to learn Victors' big secrets of creating life. He / it tries to live a solitary existence, but realizes that he WILL have to get involved in this war.I'll join the chorus of people who attempt to defend this movie, at least to some degree. Yeah, it's cut from the same cloth as a lot of other modern horror / fantasy / action hybrids such as the "Underworld" series. It doesn't tell a particularly innovative or interesting story, but it is at least an entertaining one. Enough so that this viewer wasn't constantly checking his watch, anyway. It features a truly over the top Gothic look, and some passable makeup, but some viewers will surely be turned off by the plethora of digital effects.Eckhart leads the way, and does a creditable job, delivering a performance of both intensity and physicality. Filmed in Australia, much of its cast are native Aussies, and they do bring a certain gravitas to the material. Nighy has had better material, to be sure, but he's a perfectly suitable lead villain here. Yvonne Strahovski (as Terra Wade, a scientist in Naberius' employ), Miranda Otto (as the Gargoyle Queen), and Caitlin Stasey (as Keziah the warrior) are all extremely easy on the eyes, which doesn't hurt any. It's nice, as it always is, to see Bruce Spence of "The Road Warrior" fame, on screen; that face of his is instantly recognizable."I, Frankenstein" is slick, and forgettable, but not an entirely empty experience, as it does have some humanity and sense of purpose.Six out of 10.
