Frankenstein (1994)

When Victor Frankenstein rejects the artificial man he just created, the monster escapes and later swears revenge.

Well produced and fairly accurate adaptation of the classic novel, but does lacks in atmosphere and depth.

Halliwell*: "A bold and brash attempt to be true to the original novel, but which, like its monster, gets lost in the Arctic wastes and then confuses the narrative by focusing the attention on its over-production; it fails to dislodge the original film from folk memory."

Maltin**: "Hugely disappointing, "faithful" rendition of the Frankenstein saga. Energetic to a fault, with a camera that refuses to stand still. Branagh allows us to understand what makes Dr. F. tick, but the story goes askew once his creation is unleashed. De Niro's monster remains doggedly De Niro-ish, and makes one yearn for Karloff. (Even Peter Boyle would do.)"
