I saw Frankenstein (2025) in the cinema last week. I did enjoy it, though I think the intro and second half of it is what I enjoyed mainly. The first "part" I didn't really like very much. The usage of CGI wasn't great and the women characters were laughable, partnered with an ending quote from Lord Byron it felt a little bit divorced from Shelley. I think I much prefer Del Toro's original stuff over his adaptations, he's very hit and miss for me. This one teeters on a hit but doesn't compare to Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, or Pacific Rim.
