What a disappointment. #Netflix's #Frankenstein #film!
I was really looking forward to seeing it, but, alas, I got a rather boring, pretty gruesome CGI spectacle with a thin message, inconsistent side plots and implausible characters.
Totally disappointed by Guillermo del Toro.

(2/5)@mina Watched it yesterday and am also feeling a tad let down.
The sets and especially the costume design was gorgeous.
Otherwise I completely agree with what you're saying here. Especially the CGI took me right out of the movie. Why do filmmakers keep trying to use CGI animals - they just never work?

(2/5)@mina I shall heed the warning, maybe
I don't like this design of the creature, though - I mean, why would even an amateur stitcher-together of body parts stitch cobble them together like that? Effects & makeup tell a story & this one is utterly incoherent & bears no resemblence to "mad but brilliant scientist acquires body parts from disparate people in order to create one whole person"; why would he need or decide get half a face from one corpse & half from another?
