Frankenstein lives in the modern world, caught in the battle between two species of mythological beings.
I thought that my personal fascination (read that as subjective) for the story of Victor Frankenstein and the presence of Aaron Eckhart are a good sign and I had quite a few high expectations about this new modernized vision. Unfortunately, the film doesn't even rise to the level and elegant style of an Underworld film in which the usual suspects have become ... gargoyles (?!) and demons. Aaron Eckhart is usually the victim of intense internal struggles and permanent pain that can be read on the stitched up (and not at all plausible) face of the monster, a completely wasted and useless effort in this farce called 'I, Frankenstein'.
To be avoided except for fans of unlimited video game and CGI type fights.
