Clark Collis at Entertainment Weekly, gave it a 50 score,stating, ” To be fair, Eckhart is physically impressive and Bill Nighy and his raised eyebrow do their best in the role of demon leader Naberius. But I, Frankenstein shares something else with it’s monster-hero, something much worse than its patchwork nature: The film is distinctly lacking in the soul department.”
Frank Scheck from the The Hollywood Reporter, gave it a 30, stating, “Director/screenwriter Stuart Beattie, adapting the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux, employs a strictly humorless, gothic approach to the material that makes one long for the satirical touches of James Whale, let alone Mel Brooks.”
Alan Scherstuhl at the Village Voice, gave it another 30 score. He said, “It doesn’t come close to working, but it’s sweet that they tried.” Glenn Kenny at RogerEbert.com gave it a pretty bad 25 score, saying, “A grievously ill-advised motion picture on every level.”
Lastly, Roger Moore over at Movie Nation, gave it a 25, stating, “The humorless, generic, and chatty Frankenstein served up here makes you wonder if the good doctor, in all his patching-together of parts, didn’t forget the brains.” Stay tuned.
