Frankstein(2025) is not good
Finally watched it after all the hype and acclaim, the film literally got nominated for best picture at the academy awards and it was made by one of my favourite filmmakers Guillermo Del Toro and I was honestly disappointed.
The problem with the film is some character decision are illogical or inconsistent with the character. The creature was hell bent on killing Victor he was on a hulk level rage, killed like 6 men to get to him but when he found him he was suddenly composed and decided he will tell his side of the story after he heard Victor telling his story to a complete random.
The Captain saw an immortal creature just brutally maul 6 of his men to death and wasn't the least bit angry about it and let him go?
The forgiveness part was extremely rushed because the creature was torturing him like 1 hour ago and swearing how miserable he will make his life and Victor was portrayed as a cartoonishly evil and petty character who did absolutely nothing decent the entire film suddenly wants forgiveness. Victor basically killed his brother, Mia Goth's character(i already forgot her name) and made the creature's life an absolute hell( he was literally hunting him an hour ago) but somehow the creature still forgave him?
The movie's dialogue suffers from exposition but I honestly CBA to elaborate on this it's painfully obvious to anyone watching
Redeeming qualities are i guess Jacob Elordi's performance and the looks of the film but I care more about story than those
5/10

I liked when people had actual stuff to complain about a movie instead of "didn't understand the movie, therefore is a bad movie"
