Why's everyone taking it so seriously?

Sure it's camp and over the top, but it's all in good fun. Like, it's not a true story, and there's been a million and one variations on all these stories, so what's the big deal with adding a few little bits? Sommer's hasn't done a bad job combining them together. I'm Hugh-centric and a big vampire fan so I enjoyed it. There were enough twists in the plot to keep me going and a little surprised here and there. The humour's okay too. The David Wenham character is funny.
The original Frankenstein's monster had a compassionate nature and was intelligent; he just didn't get what he wanted, so in the book he killed folk- his creator had a choice in that, whereas here he is a pawn and aware that he doesn't have to be a bad guy.
People watch worse television everyday and don't complain about it. Leave your disbelieving brain at the door and enjoy the ride...
And, uh, don't take it so seriously!!
