AAAAAAHHH I just got back from watching Frankenstein, the new play, on a movie screen. How awesome is that??
It was good! Not mind blowing but really good. Obviously the only reason I was excited about this was BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH~~. I'm really glad they showed the version with him as Victor instead of him as the creature.
In my excitement at catching the last showing, I forgot that this is a horror story and I don't like horror. So I was genuinely aghast at some of the things done by both the creature and by Victor. Also, was it really necessary to show the bride's tits the whole time she was on stage? I guess Victor wanted to look at them? :|
Of course a lot has been said about Frankenstein, but I'm still say that what really hurts about the story was that every tragedy was avoidable. Everyone had a part to play. What if the old man hadn't forced the creature to meet other people? What if the graverobbers had refused to get corpses for Victor? What if Elizabeth had refused to marry Victor after he left her for science again?
I wish the Unexpected Steampunk Train had been on stage for more than a minute. XD
My rating is 4/5. It was good but some stuff, like five full minutes+ of watching the creature learn how to stand up at the beginning, was really boring. There could have been more...shouting? I'm so used to everyone EMOTING that watching Victor not fully express the WHAT HAVE I DONE of it was a bit weird.
Also I really, really hate watching people spit or drool so that takes some pointage away. Yeesh. But otherwise it was well done!! The scene in the Scotland lab was fantastic, as well as Victor explaining things to Elizabeth and then watching the creature do the same a minute later from his point of view. It's so weird to watch a story where nobody is the hero. It's just two villains. Different but good!
