I guess the name of the director rose my expectations a bit too much. “Frankenstein” is good, but not great.
Del Toro made quite a dramatic version of the famous story. He added a few thriller elements because Victor Frankenstein is hunted by his “creature”. In flashbacks he tells the story of the creation of the “creature”.
The viewer gets the usual elaborate fantasyful world of Del Toro, but too often it is too obviously made on a computer. The story is known, there is a somewhat interesting element of forbidden love. Overal Del Toro presented just an alright drama.
