message: Leave me alone.
In August 2016 someone said something, gave their opinion regarding this article. There has been no debate to the validity of said info. I suggest the information is erroneous. It is not overly detailed.

message: I don't agree that this film is faithful to the novel.  In fact, it takes considerable liberties.  The claim of faithfulness was surely part of the publicity, but those of us who read the novel know that it simply isn't true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davmpls (talk • contribs) 19:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is the article at Mary Shelley's Frankenstein instead of Frankenstein (1994 film)?  All of the James Bond films were introduced as either Ian Fleming's name of film or Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in name of film, but their articles are simply at Name of Film.

message: I'm removing the sentence "It received an R rating for horrific images and sexual content." from the introduction as it isn't really relevant to the article - if people want its classification they can go to the iMDB or any other classifications site.

thread_title:  Rating information 

message: I have amended several errors in the section which compares the book to the film; the original author of these bullet points has signalled divergences where none exist (the Creature's murder of William is CLEARLY motivated in the book by the knowledge of his relationship to the Frankenstein family, as among his taunts is the familiar "do you know who my father is?" of all spoilt children, and the creature proceeds to rhapsodize about how hateful this name is to him. In both film and book, then, his desire to silence the child is inextricably bound up with the murder - BOTH works blur the line between murder and manslaughter here). I have also removed references to Victor's "returning" to England to make the "companion" - he says explicitly that he has never been there before, and has only travelled there because he needs to confer with several experts in his field before embarking on a second creature.  I have also removed the strange notion that the monster somehow "mistakenly" kills Elizabeth - Shelley, the narrating Victor, AND the gleefully mocking Monster are all fairly clear that this had always been his intention.  Generally these bullet points, while VERY useful, seem to have been SLIGHTLY skewed by a desire to make the novel-creature seem more sympathetic (accidentally killing William, accidentally killing Elizabeth) which is not, I am afraid, consistent with the original novel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.130.38 (talk) 08:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
