It made too many changes to the original book.
Specifically it ends on a hopeful note when the original had a downer ending where the Monster is DOOMED rather than blessed to roam the Earth forever

>>217013056
They updated the setting without changing the society in which it was set, and made the monster into a sympathetic figure without earning it through storytelling. The monster learns about love and all, but never develops beyond pining for a woman he wants to possess and demanding vengeance from his creator. It's all feels so one dimensional.

so it's woke? i didn't see a single poc

>>217013056
Its very highly rated on all the film sites and critics loved it.
Who exactly hated it apart from jaded stagnant uncs on /tv/?

>>217013636
I wouldnt say woke, just very stupid at times
>the woman meets the monster made up of piece togheter body parts but cares about a small wound on his arm
>said monster also has wolverine tier regeneration, yet this wound didnt heal right away
>the brother is barely a characther and only exist for Victor to cuck him
>the father is a completely different characther than the book
>monster dindu nuffin
It looks very pretty but the dialogue its very narm and dumb at times, also the sudden chapter change to the monster's side story was so jarring that was hilarious.
Its a enjoyable movie but a fan of the book would hate it

>>217013056
It insists upon itself.

Also the monster having a healing factor is retarded.

Did you read the book?

>>217013834
Yes but like 20 years ago, so i have a vague memory about it, which explain why could overlook the changes and enjoy the movie

>>217013056
Oscar's accent is so bad I had to turn it off ~25-30 minutes in. I'm going to have to try again at some point bc a family friend went to the screening where GDT did a Q&A after and she raved about it and insisted that I watch it.

It has more of the book than the karloff version. the monster has a lot of monologues in the book.

Frankenstein was pretty lame. There's way better and scarier monsters than him.

watched this last night. first of anything "frankenstein" ive seen. never read the book or seen any other movie.

it was fine. started watching tron ares and quickly reminded how bad, bad, bad writing can be in modern film.

anyway the "humans are the real monsters" cliche is severely eye-rolling, though i dont know if the trope didnt start with this book. apparently even old gothic literature wasnt as simple as "humanz bad!" but more of a commentary of how society and life circumstances can corrupt and change people, and was partly a response to the enlightenment period of people leaning more towards science.

"humans bad" and le nice old grandpa gave me liberal white savior vibes.

they seemed to clearly go for more of a story of the creature than straight horror, but i dont know if having it learn to speak was the best choice. it also looked a bit too silly, like its just that actor with lines painted on him.

i guess the lady who got shot is foreshadowing or sequel baiting for bride of frankenstein.

tl;dr it was alright

It sounds like you just enjoy being stimulated by motion and light. Good for you.

>more of the book than the karloff
it also changes more plot points than the karloff version, which fucks the story up much more than just leaving things out.

>>217014700
why do you put all those retarded spaces into your post? I assume it's to let me know not to read it since I automatically skip it when you do that.

>>217013834
the monster in the book only gets shot once, it didn't require Wolverine powers to explain him surviving given that he's already an undead monstrosity.

so its not a wall of text. contrary to newfag (i.e. you) belief, spacing to make things readable has always been a thing. its not a reddit thing (which does it with one press of the enter key rather than two). you are just angry young boy looking to be edgy and lash out at what you subsconsciously believe something that is considered acceptable to lash out within the given context of the community you are currently in, which unfortunately is a misunderstanding on your part. you arent and never were bothered by spacing or other generic 4chan crying points, you just saw others make the same replies and copied and followed suit to fit in without an indepedent thought or sense of your own will whatsoever, greatly hinting at a relatively young age (or if not, its evident of a lack of intellectual maturation). run along and play while the adults talk, ok? there, a wall of text just how you like it

>YOU KILT OUR GRANPAPPY
>dead wolves litter the cabin
ok

a lot of the critiques people bother to actually articulate I find to be reflexive or outright demonstrably wrong when you examine what is actually presented (especially bookfags) but enough people bounced off it for stylistic or substance reasons you have to fault the film to a degree even if I feel it's misunderstood and any flaws far from fatal

>everyone is stupid and wrong except for me
>i will not provide any examples or explanation

>>217014737
The Whales version reduces the monster to a dumb grunting brute and became the template for decades after. That fucks things up more than anything else. Characterization > Plot.

Why is everyone so angry in this thread? There's been a dozen adaptations you can enjoy, it's not like he rian johnsoned your life.
