Frankenstein (1931)


This classic was a great movie...for 1931! It was bit too short and the acting was terrible...and I mean terrible!

In one scene a guy a knocks on a door and about half a second later, he started complaining that they weren't home. Really? Doesn't he know that you're supposed to wait? That's not real acting, but the acting was good for 1931.

Back then they couldn't make that long of a film, so they skipped all the way to the grave robbing (I kinda wish they skipped even more so they could have put more Frankenstein).

It wasn't what you would expect for a classic, but I got to see some of the most famous scenes of movie history. They don't show as much as much of Frankenstein as they do in the book.

Another scene that I didn't like was when he threw a little girl in the water and she drowns. The water was really shallow, so that wasn't realistic.

The ending is not exactly what you would think it would be, but one of the greatest movie scenes of all time.

Not a good movie, kind of dull but I'll bet it would be 50 times better if they remade it today. You still may want to see it because it's a classic, but it's not very good.

My rating: 3/10*
