There are countless movies related to "Frankenstein" in film history. Among them, the two versions of "Frankenstein" in 1910 and 1931 have achieved the highest achievements and are both groundbreaking films. As for derivative movies like "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" and "Frankenstein's Bride", most of them have a tribute or spoof.
Of course, the "Me, Frankenstein" released this year is no exception to the fandom adaptation. The story basically does not involve scientist Frankenstein, but focuses on the monster that was produced. The film style is cold and solemn, with a certain gothic style, coupled with the drama of the two major races fighting each other, and the starring of Bill Nye and Kevin Grevios, it can find some feeling of "Underworld" .
However, compared with the "Underworld" series, the quality of "Me, Frankenstein" is unflattering. Although the narrative of the film is relatively smooth, there are many loopholes in the details, including the worldview, the system of the two races (Nightwing God and the Devil), and the pros and cons. The settings are quite vague and chaotic. Anyway, it is a mess. Hodgepodge. And the setting of the protagonist Frankenstein (the monster inherited the maker’s surname) is even more nonsensical. It is said that it is a body without a soul, but it needs feelings and emotions, goals and goals, and shows a bold and resolute behavior. No twists or reversals. Anyway, following the story all the way to the climax, I didn't expect the villain's "slenderness" to be really discouraging, and he was killed after three times. At least, please design one or two big tricks?
It cannot be said that the film is shoddy, but the shortcomings in the screenwriting and production cost (65 million US dollars) obviously restrict the quality of the film, and there is no appeal in the story and special effects. It is not surprising that the film's performance is linked to the director's nomination for the Golden Raspberry Award.
