Review

Personally, we think the movie was really good. The pacing allowed the movie to flow really well, and the cinematography was amazing. 

The character growth was portrayed well by the actors, as you can see the emotions and opinions of both characters change throughout the movie.

The movie was rated R for gore and violence, which was warranted, as it was fairly graphic. If you don’t like gore Frankenstein (2025) may not be for you, however, we believe that it did add a lot to the movie and made it more emotional. 

This adaptation of the story was definitely a lot different from the book, but that didn’t make the movie any less entertaining. The movie is inspired by the book with some major changes rather than being an exact adaptation.

Despite being devastating, the movie was extremely entertaining and left a lasting impression. We would rate it 5 stars, and would recommend seeing it if you get the chance.
