The Best Version Of FRANKENSTEIN that I have Ever Seen!, 7 October 2004
Author: Big_Captain_Splatter from C-Town

I have seen the old black and white version of FRANKENSTEIN and I have seen the HAMMER HORROR version of FRANKENSTEIN, which was titled The Curse Of Frankenstein, and though they are both excellent, neither are as good as MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN!

We have Victor Frankenstein, who is going to college to study science. He is a very ambitions man, and he wants to study what no school will dare teach: Bringing The Dead, Back To Life! So he meets a man who works at this college, who is curious about the same things that Victor is, but for some reason, he refuses to let Victor take it too far. Then, when this man dies, there is nobody to stop Victor from taking his experiments to the next level!

This is a MUST SEE for any Frankenstein fans. For those of you who know the story of Frankenstein through the old Universal Monster Movies, this film takes the story of FRANKENSTEIN, and the story of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, and combines them. But with a slightly different and slightly better ending. There is a lot more violence in this film then in the old Black and White versions, but it follows the same story line.

Robert De Niro gives an excellent performance as the monster. I couldn't believe it was him on the screen. I have never seen him act out a part like this before. But he pulled it off beautifully, and nobody could have done it better.

You gotta check this flick out, trust me, you won't regret it!
