Worth the time

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2004)

If you're looking for a good way to spend 2 hours, go see this movie. Sure, Frankenstein isn't how you remember him from other movies, but he is how he's supposed to be in the book, more or less. Hollywood has done a lot of damage to the Monster, and now it's time for a more accurate portrayal of Mary Shelley's creation. Hugh Jackman does a good job NOT playing Wolverine, and Kate Beckinsale does Romanian with the best of them. This is from the guy who brought us "The Mummy" so expect some camp along with your action/adventure. As someone who has read both "Dracula" and "Frankenstein," I was not disappointed by the way the movie turned out.
