| User ReviewElizabeth JOne of the most brilliant things I have ever seen!!! I am especially pleased I had the opportunity to see both versions. Both Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller were stunning and brilliant in both roles, but of course the greatest role was that of Frankenstein's creature - both performances were extraordinary! I hope one day they may release these on dvd. |
| User ReviewTara AIt completely blew me away. I'll admit, some of the angles of the camera disrupted the flow of the scene, but it was really worth seeing it from the different angles, giving the audience a closer understanding of what the actors were feeling. The acting was, of course, amazing, really bringing the characters to life. |
| User ReviewAutumn YSaw both casting versions. Both completely blew me away--though I do have to say, Benedict Cumberbatch is by far the superior of the two in both roles. JLM's Creature made me wince in embarrassment, whereas Benedict's made me feel sincere sympathy and sadness. I wish this had played more than two nights. I would have gone again. |
| User ReviewSarah Rfantastic, Benedict was excellent as the monster. |
| User ReviewSarah MJust saw the version with Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature. I'm convinced Cumberbatch could pretty much play any role ever and do it better than anyone else. Everything he does he brings something extra to the roles. Amazing performance. The filming was done very well also, almost like watching it on stage. Can't wait to see the alternate version in a couple days. |
| User ReviewJane Cwatched the version with cumberbatch as the creature. possibly the best adaptation of the novel i've ever seen. |
| User ReviewVicki RI had watched both versions where Cumberbatch and Miller switch the roles of e Creature and Dr. Frankenstein and both are breathtaking. Danny Boyle yet again shows his mastery of visual splendour with this stage version of Frankenstein. |
| User ReviewSteve PWorth seeing 'both' versions, where each lead plays Frankenstein and Monster... |
| User ReviewAdam CI saw the performance with Benedict Cumberbatch playing the monster. Had I have been in the theatre, I would've given a standing ovation. |
