...Fine, perverse images....De Niro's creature is a haunting image... -- Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly
The florid direction and overdone thesping do the work in; it's time to give the much-used Shelley book - subject of countless film versions since a 1910 16 -minute silent - a long rest.

...De Niro is in good form, loping and howling at the horror of his dilemma...

Product Description:
In this adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley tale, Kenneth Branagh stars as Victor Frankenstein, a man possessed by a mission to create life but painfully unaware of the consequences of his actions. He succeeds in his quest to create a man, but his creature (Robert De Niro) is both revolting and tragically aware of the effect he has on others. His creation escapes, and Frankenstein eventually gives him up for dead. The creature, however, is very much alive, tormented by his plight and plotting a horrible revenge. Shelley's novella is given a lush and lurid treatment by Branagh in this epic Gothic tragedy of a man who dares to play God. The film features a cast of strong supporting actors, including Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn, Ian Holm, and John Cleese.
Plot Synopsis:
Kenneth Branagh's treatment of Mary Shelley's Gothic tale is a well photographed and faithful adaptation.
