Kde se dívat na Frankenstein
- Ravi Oliveirapřed 1 dnemSynopsis: A brilliant but selfish scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the ruin of both the creator and his tragic creation. Review: Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" presents an intriguing reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's classic work, bringing to light timeless themes about human ambition and its consequences. The plot revolves around Victor Frankenstein, played by Oscar Isaac, whose quest to defy death creates a profound moral dilemma, reflecting the struggle between genius and egocentrism. The performances are one of the highlights of the production. Jacob Elordi, as the Creature, delivers a performance that combines intensity and vulnerability, allowing the audience to empathize with a being often seen only as a monster. His transformation through the extensive use of makeup demonstrates a remarkable commitment to the role, contributing to the emotional complexity that the film seeks to convey. The visual aspect contributes significantly to the gothic atmosphere of the narrative. Del Toro effectively uses real sets and practical effects, creating an immersive environment that engages the viewer from the start. The gothic aesthetic is complemented by Dan Laustsen's cinematography, which captures the dark essence of the plot with a carefully crafted color palette. One of the elements that deserves highlighting is how the film explores the relationship between the creator and his creation. This dynamic is presented in a profound and thought-provoking way, raising philosophical questions about responsibility and the pursuit of knowledge. The narrative offers moments of tension and reflection that make the audience ponder the limits of human ambition. On the other hand, while the production is visually impressive and the performances are well-executed, there is a need for a more balanced pace. There are sequences that, although well-intentioned, can seem drawn out, which may compromise the viewer's engagement at certain moments. Overall, "Frankenstein" is a bold and well-crafted proposition that resonates with the central themes of the original, while bringing a new layer of interpretation and reflection. The combination of competent direction, memorable performances, and meticulous aesthetics makes this film a remarkable experience in the gothic science fiction genre.
- Austin Burke3. listopadu 2025This is one of Guillermo del Toro’s finest achievements. Not only does this film hit on expected themes with elegance, but the style and overall visuals are even more impactful than anticipated. Tackling this journey of pain, loss, and forgiveness takes nuance, and there is so much consistency with how it presents these characters. Isaac and Goth are excellent, but Elordi is the showstopper, and an Oscar nomination could be in the cards. The storytelling method occasionally meanders and could cause pacing problems for some, but the emotional impact is perfectly executed. Frankenstein is the real deal.
- rg94008. července 2026I was incredibly excited for this adaptation because Frankenstein is one of the best books I've ever read, and Guillermo del Toro has made one of the best movies I've ever watched in Pan's Labyrinth. It seemed like a pairing made in heaven, and I felt I had to drive out to see this in a theater to do it justice instead of waiting for it on Netflix streaming. To say I was incredibly disappointed would be an understatement. First off, this movie is long. It is 2.5 hours, and it feels it. It is split into two halves from two separate perspectives, and both had lots of moments that dragged, though I would say the first half is the one where there is a lot more padding. To be honest, the slowness of the movie almost makes me think that GDT made this movie *for* Netflix, cognizant that there will be a ton of viewers who would be using it as background viewing moreso than actively paying attention. In theaters though, that pacing felt glacial. There are some gorgeous shots as you would expect from the director, but I was honestly disappointed overall with the cinematography. It goes back to the length. The pieces in between gorgeous shots, lush costume/monster design, and great practical effects are littered with really flat, dull imagery. The castle has this Netflix sheen to it, and maybe because I was watching it on a gigantic screen, but it just did not impress me. Again, I feel like GDT made this movie for the streaming platform and not for a cinematic experience. Similarly, the music left me wanting. It takes a much softer, gentler approach with more piano melodies. It pairs with what he is trying to do with the story and the character, but it results in a less dynamic sound. Again, in the theater, it was notable how limp it felt, never rousing, never deeply emotional, never impactful. I could probably forgive a lot of these technical mishaps. I do think directors should be making movies for the big screen even if they are funded by a streamer, but I get that only a handful of people would be watching this outside of Netflix. It has a very limited and short release. The problem is that these issues were only the tip of the iceberg. This is not a faithful adaptation of Frankenstein. It is radically different actually. I am not a book purist, and I am okay with directors taking creative liberties to try and make a story their own. However, those changes need to actually be good and engaging and compelling and entertaining. None of these changes are that. First off, the central core theme of the story is completely lost despite that theme being extremely timely. GDT bookends the movie by trying to emphasize the idea of man pushing too far in the name of progress, but that is not what this movie is really about. It takes a very different approach to the creature and the character of Victor Frankenstein. I get what he was trying to do, but honestly, it's just boring. And overdrawn. The message and idea are fairly clear early on, but the movie keeps trying to illustrate the same point. It doesn't even do a particularly good job at it. Characters treat the Creature based on what the plot needs them to do, not based on some sort of inherent character development. For a story that takes almost 1.5 hours to setup the character of Victor and to a lesser degree Elizabeth, it's crazy how little their characters in the second half are actually extensions of whatever we spent watching for the first half. In going with this approach, GDT also strips out the entire horror and tension from the story. This is not a creature feature or a movie filled with pulse-pounding dread. Again, while that is the movie I was expecting, I might have been okay with it had the changes actually felt deeply thematic, dripping with pathos, or very character-driven. I do not think they were. The real highlight of the movie was Jacob Elordi as the Creature. He did a fantastic job, and alongside some nice set and costume designs, helped salvage a movie that I thought was really weak otherwise. Overall, this was a huge miss for GDT. Some gorgeous shots and strong acting aside, there is a lot I disliked about it. Ironically, I find myself thinking about the theme of the original. A man who thinks he knows better cobbling together an amalgamation of parts, stitching pieces that did not belong together in the original body, just to inject unnatural life into something that has already had its time. At least Victor experienced horror at the shambling monstrosity that he created. GDT could learn a thing or two from that story.
- Arniox22. května 2026This was far better then expected. An excellent, extremely well paced, well acted, well written story of tragedy and loss and love and grief and horror. The way it's told reminded me alot of Nosferatu which I also thought was incredable. Its not for everyone though. This is bringing back a very specific kindof story telling. Slow, methodical, mythical and ethereal story telling. Gothic horror. Where the movie begins at the ending, where the players have made all their moves, and begin to recount their tails of woe. Beautifully done.
