A film based on one of the most famous horror stories ever created, which is based on a human being created from corpses, whose give life to a monster without divine grace. Seeking answers about his creation and his aspects that differentiate it from a human being, in the middle of a battle between demons and gargoyles.
Despite having a base for a rich script, the movie falls by shallow story and by visual effects of low quality, almost always seen in blots of light by the rise and demise of gargoyles and demons.
The story forgets the protagonist and directs attention to the battle waged for centuries between angels and demons, becoming irrelevant to Frankenstein and also to the public. The development of both stories is superficial and that is where the movie falls apart.
As if that were not enough, the acting is also one of the weaknesses in the film, whereas the characters fail by excess expressions. Aaron Eckhart delivers one of his worst works, with expensive and unnecessary looks, as almost all other actors.
The relationship between Frankenstein, gargoyles, demons and humans makes the viewer laughs, due to lack of consistency of all. Does not a human get unimpressed to discover "supernatural" creatures? Frankenstein falls in love with a human? A soldier would risk the lives of an entire army and humanity to save a single leader? Yes, all this happens naturally in "I, Frankenstein".
The cinematography, although at first it is a bit puzzling, keeping the same dark color gamut with flashes of lights during battles, it becomes cloying and low quality visual effects do not contribute to a good 3D. With depth and immersion, 3D is one of the few positive points of the film.
Thus, Stuart Beattie, director and writer, gives us one of the worst movies of this year, where neither the effects nor the actors and much less script honor the legend of Frankenstein.
