Frankenstein2025

It’s a beautiful story with all the typical Guillermo’s production design, cinematography and even overall direction. The only thing that bothered me was that it felt like a very safe film. It was as if Guillermo just wanted to retell the classic without any surprises. I don’t know anything about the book or the old Frankenstein film but it still felt like a borderline safe film. After some point that interest in the story slowly started fading away because I knew how the story would go irrespective of how beautiful the story and world was. I wish the narrative was more interesting and not too obvious. In the first 30-40 minutes I knew how the story would go plus typical Guillermo’s direction. It’s really a good watch but I wanted more.
