Kenneth Branagh's Vision of Frankenstein

Although this movie is based on the book written by Mary Shelley, it isn't entirely correct. I was actually disappointed with how many differences there were. Branagh was able to capture the general idea, but the details were less than authentic. It was implied in the book that Victor and Elizabeth were going to wed, I don't believe they actually made arrangements until after he began studying in Ingolstat. Also, Clerval had no idea about Victor's plans to make a monster in the book, but in the movie he was almost dragged in to the in the process. Although the movie wasn't 100% accurate, not all movies based on books are. Some of the changes are acceptable because they make the movie clearer to understand. I would grade it with an 'A' for effort.

My name is Catherine and I live in a small town in California. My pitbull and I love to be active. We can most often be found at the park playing frisbee or at the river swimming in the rapids. Our favorite thing to do is whitewater raft or (preferrably) IK in the summer. Last year, the river was miserably low, but we are expecting a much better level this year. Hopefully, this will cause the season to last longer.
