Frankenstein (Guillermo del Toro) • Page 4

Finding it really interesting so many people here bouncing off of this while it's getting good reviews from critics. Why is that, I wonder.

 

I usually love Oscar Isaac but he was laughably bad in this. Like local theater actor bad.

 

Yeah lol saying someone is bad in one performance is hardly saying they don’t like the performer at all, be for real

 

thank god the brother told Victor that he was actually the monster because I would have NEVER put that together myself

 

You're smarter than the average moviegoer, Mick.

 

Damn was the last GDT movie I actually loved Hellboy 2?

Did not care for this

 

I am glad William used his dying moments to tell the audience that it is actually Victor who is the monster. I didn't get it yet.

 

I really liked this. I’m a sucker for films that are shot primarily with wide lens and that the cinematography was one of the best this year. The creature forgiving Victor was a really nice touch as well. Brought the religious themes full circle. Might be my favorite Del Toro film tbh.

I will say Elizabeth’s attraction to the creature was very sudden, but I think it matched with her more pure view of life, compared to Victor’s more cynical outlook.

 

Thought this was very mediocre. I dunno about del Toro. I really go back and forth on him.

 

Just finished watching this and holy shit Jacob Elordi is the real fucking deal, what an incredible performance from him!!

 

This really worked for me! As always for GDT, the production design was impeccable but as others stated - this is the first role where Elordi really sells me on his ability. It’s the first time he has a grounded kindness and softness in his presence that sold his role in the story. Fully in on him going forward (outside of Wuthering Heights ew). Issac didn’t bother me at all, he played things campier than most others - but it worked for me.
