It’s Pa- Kawn, not Pee Can. This movie was just ok, not fantastic in my opinion.

I loved this movie. It’s definitely the most intelligent action movie I have seen in a long time.

I really enjoyed this film. As a scholar of Humanities and Art History, I found the film to be intelligent and artistic, being careful to reflect historical facts. The film did not fail to capture the romance and emotional experiences that inspired Mary Shelley, which also made the film deliciously entertaining. Sometimes the most fascinating stories are ruined by being dry. Not so in this film. I definitely recommend it to anyone who either loves literature, women’s rights, has ever been in love and lost, been abandoned or simply enjoys a great movie. Anyone who has not read the book, “ Frankenstein “, please do not assume that you know the true story by watching James Whale’s movies. Although I admire James Whale as an artist in his own right, his movies did not capture the same message that Mary Shelley originally intended. If you haven’t read “ Frankenstein “, I recommend it. If you haven’t, you will most likely still enjoy the film. However, watching the film is a much more rich experience if you know and understand the original story.

I don’t believe Taissa Farmiga in this role. I only see a character actress in danger of becoming Kristen Stewart. It might have been a good movie, and Taissa has a chance of being a good actress if she stops being a character. Opinions are why this forum exists, right? My opinion is that Taissa Farmiga should stop relying on her eyes as the only expression of her acting, and I also think she could be great if she can lose herself in the character the next few roles.

Please don’t categorize this as anything besides a dull dramatic romance with really horrible acting. Watching this was like feeling a sneeze coming on, but it never happens. I keep seeing the word ‘brilliant’ in the comments. I bet the people who used that word to describe this film also consider Lisa Frank Unicorn Stickers fine art.

To IL Cooney: Obviously you don’t know anything about the blues. The music is certainly important, but it’s also about the ability of the singer to tell a story that people can relate to- same 3 chords be damned.I’d like to see you shake ‘em down like Bessie Smith did. Oh- and please name a really great musician who isn’t licentious in any way.
