I LOVE Frankenstein movies, but seriously the first hour could have been edited out. The monster is in the opening minutes, and then you have to watch about a whole hour storyline about Victor's childhood. Who gives a crap? We want the monster! He's the whole reason we watch Frankenstein films. I stopped the movie at the point where the monster is finally being assembled. I think it was 56 minutes. Then, the move got really good. The kid that plays the monster is terrific! Childlike and terrorizing The film is beautiful. The sets are incredible! It is truly art, but Del needs to have someone with balls to tell him to edit out a half hour of the childhood. It did ZERO to further the plot. This would have been 5 stars if I didn't have to wait and wait through drivel - 2/5 (almost 1/2) of the movie.

I never cared for John Wayne UNTIL I saw this film at NYU, when I attended film school there. We had to study it for the techniques used to tell the story. What a great western! Now I'm a fan. Great classic western!

The film begins with a voiceover from one of the main characters, so the story is presented in the past tense. You'll forget all about the voiceover foreshadowing that it will turn out ok for the boy and his mom. Within 5 minutes, you dislike Phil, and within a half hour you HATE him. Cumberbatch plays such a cruel man so beautifully, you'll want to get up and leave. Just at that point when you can't stand it anymore, the film makes a 180. This isn't grandpa's western.

Amy stick to hanging out in a public bathroom and borrowing tampons. You are too unappetizing for any kind of food product or food show.
