He really did Victor dirty.
i hate oscar isaac
>>215533143No. it’s a stupid limited release and i’m not watching a almost three hour movie in some shit art house theater. I’d see it at my major theater that’s got comfy recliners
>>215533143>What if Frankenstein was a victim of society and humans are the REAL monsters??shan't watch, I bet the screenplay was written by a woman
>netflixhaha, no chance, fatfuck
>>215533215This. Even stage performances are good enough to have an intermission half way through. I'm not sitting through 3 hours, I can wait until it hits streaming. Besides, we all know the limited release is just so it qualifies for certain awards
>>215533249>I bet the screenplay was written by a womanFrankenstein? Written by a woman? Be serious
What's generally considered the best adaptation of Frankenstein?
>>215533333Checked.Frankenhole
>>215533333Frankenberries
I have no idea why they not only pushed a severely limited release, but then waited until after Halloween to do a full Netflix release. Fuck Netflix, I'll go sailing sometime for it when I have nothing better to do.
>>215533143Only redditors enjoy that latinx's movies.
Im a big fan of the book but hate del toro. How much did he fuck it up? I love stop motion and PINNOCHIO but hated his whole Mussolini slop for Pleasure Island. Dudes a hack but I am interested in seeing this.
>>215534000you will probably be disappointed so go in with low expectations

>>215533143imagine signing up to watch del shitto movie voluntarily
>>215534017You people say that about damn near everything
>>215533249nothing of the sort was in the original work, of course
>>215533181Came to say this. Won’t be watching media featuring the fucking nuwars cast…
>>215533143Midwits will find it a perfectly serviceable movie but I felt it was very generic del taco and it didn’t have much of a soul or depth
>>215533143Fun fact: Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the monster. Reply if you’re brown and didn’t know this.
>>215534904Jesus Christ, where’s the reboot where Frank turns HIMSELF into the monster so we can put this meme to bed. I guess narratively that doesn’t fit nearly as well as him getting killed by his own creating, but.
>>215534904The monsters name is Ozymandias in the movie, after the poem
>>215534436It's a good mindset to have when consuming modern media.
>>215533143Spoil it for me
>>215534904The whole point of the fucking story is that the monster is Victor's son. Both are Frankenstein.
>>215533333frankenhooker
>>215533333The Danny Boyle play
>>215533249Nigga that's the book
>>215534904I'm aware that in the original book, it is the Dr. who is called Frankenstein. However, that hasn't been the case for over a hundred years now. In the original book, the monster is apparently also never described as green or with bolts, but that is basically the official Frankenstein look now. Sherlock Holmes also never says “Elementary, my dear Watson” in the original stories but its one of the things he is best known for. So for all intensive purposes, Frankenstein is the name of the monster.

>>215535862Imagine being this retarded
>>215535901Prove a single thing I said wrong, redditor.
>>215534950>memeExcept it's actually correct. Victor Von Frankenstein was the doctor and the monster was always referred to as "Frankensteins monster".
>>215535913Appealing to normie consensus over the author's intent
>>215535944On reddit, yes.
>>215535951>>215535944The Bible does not explicitly mention any animals being present at the Nativity, but you would hate an adaptation of the birth of Jesus that doesn't have an ox and donkey, right?
>the monster doesn't kill elizabeth frankenstein does, he also chases the monster to kill himYawn
>>215533143Did he make him gay?
>>215536019He made him the villain
sighsomehow, the monster has returned
>>215533333Van Helsing
>>215536118The "WHYYYYYYYYYY!?" He delivers stirred some existential edgy shit I had gone on at that age. Parents had told me some shit about being ungrateful for being brought into the world and I replied with the typical "I didn't ask to be brought here!" like a week prior. Watching him deliver that line made me feel it. It's some core memory shit now.
>>215535944he is called adam.
Considering GDT hasn't made a single watchable thing in fifteen years, I have zero hope for it.But, I would not be surprised if this got rave reviews just like that pos Nosferatu.
saw it at local theater with $5 tickets. Me and gf both hated it, for the same reasons. horrendous pacing. incredibly boring; there's zero momentum in the plot. felt like a five hour slog. aimless side characters. flimsy character motivations. says so little, squanders so much potential. nothing in the way of a musical score. tons of things i could "cinema sins" but why bother. the overall plot lacked both stakes and thrust. the entire cuckold romance, drama with the brother, and dispute with christolph waltz' character could have been cut and it would have made no effect on victor's actions or behaviors. Like he has a big passage about how "love has changed him" but we are shown that it does not change anything about his motivations or actions, Waltz tells him there's a ticking clock on the experiment but there's no repercussions or change to the behavior of victor. sets were nice. costumes were great. creature design was good on a technical level; Elordi did a decent job with the physicality of the creature as well. Overall the Actors were fine, they were just given a garbage script.
>>215535862it's "for all intents and purposes" you barely-literate. read more books.
>>215535862>So for all intensive purposes
>>215538151You're not Cormac fuckin McCarthy mate. Use punctuation properly or not at all, cretin.
>>215535862>>215534904Fun fact: He's not even a doctor. He drops out of school. He's a mad scientist, but not doesn't hold a degree.
>>215533143there's something i don't like about this guy.
>>215533478Netflix does not give a fuck about releasing shit in theaters. It only did a limited release so it can be award eligible. They want awards and prestige.
>>215535862Why is Frankenstein such a perfect name for a monster cobbled together from bits
>>215535862Him being called Frankenstein is not inaccurate. Victor created him and creations are often named after their creators. Ford cars, Manson Jar, Jacuzzi named after investors Jacuzzi brothers, etc
>>215538849>Manson Jar
>>215539049This an Adam Corrola joke? My ass is asshlole is as big as a mason jar
>>215539076
>>215533215>>215533261It's not three hours, it's 2 and a half, you pussies, and the "art" theaters like Landmark cinemas also have reclining seats, beers, etc. Just go, you losers.
Sounds like the usual Del Toro film. Fantastic visuals and production let down by the script.
>>215533261Reminder there was a long movie a while back where cinemas wanted to have an intermission but the director threw a fit about it.
Oscar Isaac is great in it, kinda fiery and intense performance. On the flipside Jacob Elordi is very sullen and understated. Mia Goth is good. Christoph Waltz is just Christoph again.
>>215539232Sounds like James Cameron thing
>>215539234Is Waltz Dr Pretorius?
>>215533143They made the story gay by making the fiancé the love interest of the monster. Why is Del Toro obsessed with creatures sexing human women?
Where's a rip?>>215533333Bride of Frankenstein
>>215539251Cuck fetish
>>215539247he's elizabeth's rich uncle who finances victor's experiments and helps him get all the equipment and stuff he needs. he has a secret motive to do it, but it's not really dr. pretorious tier
I really liked it and I think it’s my favorite GDT film. My only issue is that the ending and climax felt totally rushed and Victor saying he’s sorry and reconciling with the creature felt completely unearned as a result.
>>215539251I took it as more of a motherly affection. It’s clear that Elizabeth and Victor himself mirror his own parents. The Creature mirrors young Victor.
>>215534000Look, go in with lowered expectations and watch it because despite GDT being an insufferable soiboy, he is anti-AI slop and always prefers live effects. Ultimately, that is worth watching and supporting.
>>215539274victor changed his mind only after hearing the creature's story, which did make him stop seeing him as an "it" or a monster.
>>215539251Because he's a fat brown monster that wants to have sex with human white women?
>>215538642That's kind of my point, they could've at least tried to move it up before Halloween. I literally went looking for it to watch first in theaters before I realized the release date.
>>215539361He's a fat whitey playing the diversity card.
>>215533333Junji Ito manga
>>215539375I don’t know why studios do this but they’ve done it for a while. Released both Adams Family movies, Spooky Hollow, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Interview With A Vampire, etc out in November
>>215539251Nah, Elizabeth is great at staying true to her man and brushing off any notion otherwise while still being willing to engage platonically with the likes of Victor or The Monster.
>>215533542>Only redditors enjoy that latinx's movies.Nigga passes for white, to be fair.
>>215539648He's of Spanish, German, and Irish descent but born in Mexico and speaks Spanish: He's white Hispanic.
the one thing del toro keeps getting better at is set design
>>215533333mel brooks young frankenstein
>>215533143No I don't watch trash
Frankenstein, dracula, and wolfman are boring.
>>215533143no, frankenstein is garbage material, stop making them. same goes for dracula, etc. if theres one classic horror movie they actually should remake its the golem. never been more relevant
>>215533143i thought this was a lies of p adaptation for a sec
>>215540912>inbred Mohammed hates on classic stories.How unprecedented.
>>215538849>>215539049>I wouldn't say anything to Frankenstein's monster, I would listen to what it had to say, and that's what no-one else did
>>215533333Lisa Frankenstein
>>215539232if an intermission is good enough for lawrence of arabia it's good enough for your flick
>>215533143Just what the world was waiting for, another lazy reimagining of Frankenstein.Maybe he should do Dracula next.
>>215535862The monster takes his father's name, so the monster IS Frankenstein, however, the real monster is Dr. Frankenstein.Haven't seen Del Toro's take yet, however, I thought the 90s movie with Robert DeNiro as the monster was actually pretty damn good. For some reason people don't think highly of it though. Special shout-out to Junji Ito's manga adaptation that gave us this meme image in the early days of the interwebs though
>>215541856
>>215533333Frankenweenie (1984)
>>215541702Meh, I will wait to watch it before I call it lazy. Then again, Frankenstein is a pretty short book so they definitely had to pad that bitch with extra nonsense to make it two and a half hours long.I respect Del Toro's commitment to monster designs, but his actual film work is slow as fuck for what it is. It's one of the reasons I'm glad they keep blocking funding for his dream project of At the Mountains of Madness. While I think he would do a fucking stellar job with the translating the Elder Things and Shoggoths to film, everything else will be kinda shit. Pretty shit, but still shit.
>>215533143In the book Victor is a whiny little faggot who never shuts the fuck up about his sorrows. But he also is the sort of soft, sensitive, boy band poster heartthrob that teen girls (like the author) are always obsessed with, unlike the middle-aged ugly Mexican.I walked out after I saw the scene where Victor has the Monster chained up and is beating him with a stick. What the fuck? In the book, Vic runs away after creating the monster. He hides in his room and then gtfo del toro is a hack, his version will never topple James Whales' far more inaccurate but much more iconic adaptation.
>>215541952I generally love his movies and nobody does Gothic aesthetic as well as Del Toro but I'm fucking bored to tears with Frankenstein.Holy shit can we just adapt something that hasn't already been adapted a hundred times already.
