Yes we all know it’s a classic but none of us rush to watch this over the latest blockbuster. If it were not for this project I would never have seen this movie and I can’t say I’m terribly glad for it. I suspect my headache while watching this contributed to lessen my enjoyment. I kept picking out the horrid acting and comparing it to more modern actors at the top of their game. I admit this is entirely the wrong way to go about watching classics from nearly a century ago but I still could not help myself.

We all know the tale of Frankenstein so I’ll spare you the details. I’m certain that this movie in its time was superb and even today it does hold up OK but that’s about it really. When we have so many wonderful films that have come out since I can’t for the life of me pick this one over the hundreds of others that I would prefer to watch. I often think that some of these classics are highly rated simply because they are vintage. In this case I’m afraid that’s not enough for me so I’ll leave it with a 6/10.
