Last monday, in class, we saw Frankenstein, the movie made by Kenneth Branagh.
Some students really love this movie and I do too, the actors are good and succeed in showing their emotions without overact (Robert de Niro, who plays the monster, is really great). Moreover, there are no boring times and I think it’s a very good quality in a movie.
Thanks to this movie, I’m going to read the novel of Mary Shelley !
There was too much blood in this film. Some adaptations are better than the film we saw in class.
I agree with you the actors are good and Helena Bonham Carter plays very well ! But in my opinion this film isn’t « very good » quality.
I agree with you, the actors are good and Robert de Niro is so great playing the Frankenstein’s monster.
I agree with you , this film is not boring and the actors plays very good . I think I’m going to read this novel too because the movie was really interesting and the story unusual!
I’ve seen a video of a parody of Frankenstein. It was just one extracts, but I think it could appeal to more than one person: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg0eYRDlnIE

I liked this movie because thanks to it i had an overview of the frankenstein’s story. And i share your opinion.
you’re right: the interpretation of De Niro was great as in each of his films ( especially in « the godfather 2 » and « taxi Driver »). « His » monster was accurate.
Like you, I think the actors are great but in my opinion, the film don’t show their emotions unlike Mary Shelley’s book.
I liked this version of Frankenstein much. But, I found that the scenes were too much short, the story passed too quickly. I think that the director would have had to make film in saga!
