Ever since watching Jericho and subsequently reading the
graphic novel, I have been hooked. I love the feel of graphic novels, and am
always interested in finding movies based on them to see how well they
translate. That was exactly what I found to watch tonight, 2014s I,
Frankenstein.
Plot/ Frankenstein's creature finds himself caught in an
all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.
Movies based on graphic novels can be difficult to replicate
on the screen, and I, Frankenstein was no exception. This CGI driven action
flick was simple and effects driven. In no way did it make you thing when you
were watching it. While some of the action sequences were impressive, the
acting solid, and even the general idea interesting, there was too much packed
into the 90 minutes to make it really hit home. Between the plot holes, uneven
dialog, and an somewhat confusing timeline, it was easy to just block
everything out and enjoy the action. In the end, it may be somewhat entertaining
for a CGI film, but the is nothing new to make it memorable. At PG-13, it was
fun to watch with the daughters, but that is about all I would recommend it
for-Scary Movie Night with the kids.
