Run
Time: 92 mins
Aaron
Eckhart (The Dark Knight) stars as the title role in I, Frankenstein, or what I like to call, “I, Harvey Dent with a
couple of scratches on my face”. This fantasy action film portrays the origins
of the iconic Frankenstein monster and the centuries old war that he gets
caught up in. Because of extremely negative critic reviews and underwhelming
trailers, I wasn’t excepting much more than some mediocre action from this
film. Unfortunately, this movie didn’t even meet those low standards.
In
the year 1795, Dr. Victor Frankenstein creates a monster out of various parts
of corpses and electricity. This monster then enters a rage and in his fury
kills the wife of the doctor. Frankenstein’s monster then flees to the Arctic
and is pursued by his creator, who freezes to death before he can get his
revenge.
The
monster eventually comes across the body of Dr. Frankenstein and decides to
bury him. While doing this, he is attacked by a group of demons. However, a couple
of gargoyles come just in time to save him. He is taken to the queen of the
gargoyles who decides to name him Adam and invites him to join her forces.
Adam
declines the offer and goes out on his own after being gifted weapons that
allow him to kill demons.
200
years later, Adam lives on and the societies of the gargoyles and demons
continue to exist in our society. Both groups have been racing to discover the
technology behind Adam’s immortality. The demon army intends to recreate
Frankenstein’s monster in hundreds of human corpses and take over the world
while the gargoyles must do everything in their power to prevent this from
happening. The rest of the film is basically an all-out war between these two
immortal groups.
As
I previously mentioned, Frankenstein’s monster looked awful and hardly even
resembled the famous character. The gargoyles and demons looked just as bad as
they appeared extremely cartoony. Furthermore, the acting performances were horrible
across the board and the story was incredibly choppy. I thought that the action
scenes would save this movie, but they were all just poor CGI garbage. Other
than a couple of decent fight sequences, there was nothing I enjoyed about this
film. I, Frankenstein is the worst
movie I have seen in a very long time. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film at
all costs.
