Like with Dracula Untold, this is a new retelling of a new plot in the familiar story. Judging by the negative reviews, it is definitely not for Shakespeare or chick flick fans. This is a man's movie. Judging from how many of us like the story lines in video games I would have thought critics and movie producers would have caught on that this is what we guys like. Just enough dialogue to have a coherent story line in between the action and fight scenes. Just enough sentimentalism to make the characters moderately human but not the sensitive emaciated characters we tend to get now a days in the movies "critics are raving about". Like with Dracula Untold, I Frankenstein is a move for guys who like old style guys' action movies. If I want to see a chick flick, a deeply moving script/storyline or a Woody Allen dramedy, I'would waste $10 - $17 on that, but like many other men, I want to see action and fighting and the monster/hero kicking more evil monster butt. This is definitely a great movie speaking in normal guy terms. Not for the touchy feely "enlightened" men of today, but for us gentlemanly educated, loveable and loving neanderthals.

For all warm blooded Americans: this movie gets your thirst for action and suspense going. I'm not looking for a Shakespeare play or a Woody Allen flick. I'm looking for a man's movie and this one is definitely one. There is lots of action, family values and loyalty (Vlad's for his family and his people) and lots of fight sequences, strong music and no dumb extended touchy feely sequences. It's a guy's movie. I can definitely say I loved it and have watched it three times already and will watch it again in the near future. I can't wait for a sequel. Hopefully Luke Evans will take on the role again. He is amazing.
