I, Frankenstein
Stars: Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Mirando Otto, Virginie Le Brun
This isn’t your granny’s Frankenstein. First of all, he’s not made of cadaver parts and plaster of paris. Oh no, this Frankenstein seems to have been cast from equal parts Samson, Superman and Thor. He’s a ripped, beefy monster who looks very human. And whereas the Frankenstein of yesteryear communicated mainly in unintelligible grunts and growls, this modern-day monster is quite eloquent and self-aware; “I am a monster,” he proclaims to one character. Now, that’s a level of existentialist thinking that is far beyond what his progenitor was capable of. However smart or aware this Frankenstein is, he’s still possessed of that superhuman strength, which combined with the fact that he knows exactly how to use his power, makes him a serious threat to the army of demons who come after him. See it in 3-D. –p.d. lee
