Frankenstein
2025
- Director: Guillerma del Toro
- Cast: Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph
Waltz, Mia Goth
- Why? I love the book
- Seen: 29 November 2025
There have been many film versions. The best, that I
have seen anyway, are the Karloff version of 1931 and Kenneth Branagh’s of
1994. Let’s see how this one compares.
It’s certainly lavish with some spectacular visuals,
not the least Elizabeth’s (Goth) frocks. Isaac is not bad as Victor
Frankenstein, and Elordi as the monster is appealing.
I actually doze off during the big lightning scene but otherwise it’s quite good. Branagh’s is much better, however.
