Review  of  movie 🎬 


James Berardinelli 

  Something  more substantial than Hollywood's typical, fitfully  entertaining fluff.


Roger ebert


  The creature is on target, but the rest of the film is so frantic, so manic, it doesn't pause to be sure it's effects are registered. 


David Ansen.

  Watching the movie  work itself  into an operatic frenzy, one remains curiously detached: the grand gestures are there, but  where's the music?

 

Variety staff

 KENNETH BRANAGH has indeed  created a monster, but not the kind he originally envisioned. 


Steve Crum 


Different  look  at the old frankenstein story, directed by BRANAGH.
