Frankenstein (2025) Netflix

Y'all understand the original story is about the relationship between God and man, right?

That is the standard sophomoric interpretation, I suppose.

I keep reading there’s some controversial scene in this movie. What’s that all about?

Never saw one.

This is not a remake of the classic Frankenstein per say. It does use the same names as Shelley's book, but it is a completely different story.
We watched it last night. It is a solid movie. A bit long, it get's a little weighty in the middle, moves a little too slow sometimes, but it is the best Frankenstein yet. Oscar Isaac does a great job playing Dr. Frankenstein, also like Christopher Waltz (the dentist in Django) .
Captivating storyline, cinematography is well done and well acted.
It is a BIT LONG. (2.5 hours) And about 3/4 the way in you start to feel it, and want the story to wind up. I may even suggest to watch it in two settings to avoid that.

All in all - in the shotgun approach Netflix does in making movies - they hit the target with this one.

Is this the same movie that's in theaters right now?

If so, I wonder why the producers did that.

In these stupid times, someone always manages to find a way to be pissed off about something in a movie.

Just watched this on Netflix.

Holy shit, this movie sucks.

It makes no sense this has an audience rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Wasn't bad. Watched it last night. The original was better allowing for special effects, but Young Frankenstein was the best.

The Bride of Frankenstein was excellent, "She's alive! She's alive"!

I was thinking the same thing all through this disaster.

The set design and costumes were outstanding, but they could not outshine the total disaster this movie is.

This is not a remake of the classic Frankenstein per say.

Seriously, I hope not. There are already too many. I've seen FOUR good Frankensteins--- the ORIGINAL, the Bride, another done in the 40s which had several monsters in it I forget the title of, and a forth called Frankenstein Unbound which I kind of liked for its unusual twist at the end.

It is a solid movie. A bit long,

Yeah, I did not even make it through the trailer. The only thing that makes me intrigued is that Del Toro is behind it.

I was a little disappointed in the makeup and physical appearance of the creature.
However, the story itself was much better than previous Frankensteins.

This one made the Robert De Niro version look pale in comparison.

Young Frankenstein was the best.

You're just hot for Teri's chili.

I was wondering what happened to Teri Garr. Most women actresses have shorter careers than porn stars.

I was wondering what happened to Teri Garr.

Didn't she just pass away a year ago from MS?

Didn't she just pass away a year ago from MS?

I see, she was almost 80. Still, as actresses looks go so do their careers with a few exceptions.

Mostly true. There are not a whole lot of Bette Davis' around any more. Garr stopped acting in her mid-sixties. Let's face it, a woman's career is much more often tied to her looks than a guy's is because most careers are determined by men.

When a guy's looks go, they call him "rugged" and give him a raise.

Women have the advantage when they are young and hot. That is a fleeting thing. As actors age, men take the upper hand.

That is the way of life, fair or not.

At least with men they do. Kinda ironic really: women have the advantage sexually long before they reach sexual maturity while guys get the advantage as hunks long after their sexual identity has peaked.
