Leave your thoughts about Victor Frankenstein.
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThe first words spoken in Victor Frankenstein are “You know the story,” and anyone who simply mutters “Yep,” gets up, and heads back to the box office for a refund will be well ahead of the game. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiOutside of McAvoy's performance, the movie isn't anything more than borderline adequate in any area, and despite the supposed fresh take on the material, it never shakes the feeling that it's unnecessary. |
| Consequence of SoundClint WorthingtonIronically, Victor Frankenstein is such a Frankenstein's monster of different tones and plots inelegantly stitched together that it never finds a life of its own. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerJoanna ConnorsIt's worth seeing, in large part for McAvoy's performance. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzAn unneeded shallow adaptation of the Mary Shelley classic, trying desperately but unsuccessfully to put a new spin on the familiar Gothic story. |
| Willamette WeekAlex FalconeAny time you watch a "reimagining" of a story in the public domain, you do so at your own peril. |
| Ex-Press.comKatherine MonkSome movies only make sense if you've been a 13-year-old girl, and Victor Frankenstein is one of them. |
| Big HollywoodJohn HanlonJames McAvoy is great fun in this unique and visually-exciting adaptation of the well-known story. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageRob VauxYou say "goes completely off the rails" like it's a bad thing. |
| Empire MagazineDavid HughesCrackling with energy and fizzing with ideas, this fresh take on Frankenstein is a thrilling adaptation that reinvigorates a well-worn tale. |
