Good day readers,
All of you may have heard about the tales of Frankenstein, the large reanimated monster. As a kid, I always used to take a liking to such stories about Frankenstein. A few years ago I read the classic book of Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. I always despised the fact that there had been no decent movie of Frankenstein or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the last 30 years. Half of my disappointment was reduced when I, Frankenstein was released. It was an awesome movie and satiated all my curiosity regarding the mysterious monster, his looks and personality. I also liked the fact that the movie does not only focus on Frankenstein. It also focuses on two types of creature races, the Gargoyles (whom we have not observed or even caught glimpse of recently in movies) and the Demons.

The movie starts out with the introduction of Frankenstein, or actually, the creature discovered and reanimated by legendary scientist, Victor Frankenstein. The scientist, gathered parts from several corpses, unified them into a single body and instilled life within the body by using thousands of watts of electricity. Giving the creature his own name, Frankenstein, and promising life-long companionship, the creature was devastated to find out that his master, Victor, did not actually mean what he promised. In a rage, the creature, Frankenstein killed Victor's wife and hunted him. while running away from the Frankenstein, Victor froze to death. Searching for answers and a companion, Frankenstein goes on a quest and meets the Gargoyle queen, learning about the never ending war between the Gargoyles and the Demons. He also meets an established electro-physicist Dr. Wade who seems to understand him, pity him and think of him as not a monster but an equal person.
The character of Frankenstein, played by Aaron Eckhart, has been nicely viced and presented. We get to know that maybe Frankenstein was not as bad as portrayed in other versions of Frankenstein, other movies or tv shows. I like that the movie portrays a different personality of the antiquated creature, and his appearance. The modern setting of the movie presents a somewhat different view from the classic Frankenstein book, but 'different' provides opportunities for new discoveries, doesn't it? The best thing about the movie was probably the ending dialogues voiced by Frankenstein. I, Monica Panchal, take leave for today, thus returning in the indefinite future to post another movie review.
