What the critics say average 4.2 from 4

8.0 EmpireDavid Hughes Crackling with energy and fizzing with ideas, this fresh take on Frankenstein is a thrilling adaptation that reinvigorates a well-worn tale. Read
5.8 Entertainment WeeklyKyle Anderson Only Radcliffe escapes unscathed, lending Igor a convincing psychology despite the ham-fistedness of the material. But he?s not enough of a reason to resurrect this story again. Read
3.0 Los Angeles TimesGary Goldstein For much of the movie's running time, I wished I were watching Mel Brooks' classic take on Shelley's yarn, "Young Frankenstein." At least that one was intentionally funny. Read

Trivia

One of the character's names in this new version of the story is "Dr. Clive." In the 1931 original, Dr. Frankenstein was played by Colin Clive.
Shawn Levy was originally set to direct but backed out.
The title of the film 'Meet Your Makers' is official name of the champion team of the game Dota
The mis-pronouncement of Frankenstein's name is a little easter egg from Mel Brooks 'Young Frankenstein'
The "twist" that this movie puts on the classic tale is that it is told from Igor's perspective. However, Igor doesn't appear in the original novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.
