why is de niro frankenstein still the best adaptation of the novel? I mean it was like a 3/5 but it's still the only one where the creature isn't just some green guy who kills people for no good reason. the bar isn't high
>>220070073pretty sure they made a strict adaptation with Boris Karloff for people who are into that
>>220070136source? it better not be some AI bullshit

>>220070571concession accepted
Robert De Niro as the monster is some of the strangest casting ever.
>>220070571He kills the girl by mistake.
Frankenstein is simply an uninteresting story. What do you expect from a female author?
>>220070774not really all that strange considering that the movie was a follow up to gary oldman playing dracula and dennis hopper playing van helsing
>>220070893you'd think De Niro would be Frankenstein if anything. Making him the monster seems weirdly undignified.
>>220070928why would de niro, an american actor be good as an european doctor? if anything his american accent among all those dignified european actors really hammered in the point that he's a monster and probably should be destroyed at the moment of conception
>>220070170Dude it's the version that pretty much defined frankenstein imagery for the next 90 halloweens
>>220070571>t. didn't watch the film
>>220071086it's just such a meme. Like hiring Marlon Brando to play some freaky character. Never mind. They did that too.
>>220071239watch the making of documentary. brando was going to play it straight before richard stanley got sidelined
>>220071086>Kenneth Branagh>dignified
>>220070073It's kino, OP not a 3/5
