Frankenstein Movie Review (1994)

 This Blog-Post is as a response of Movie Review task which is given by our professor Ma'am Yesha Bhatt.

 

What is the Novel or what is the film?What's the different between this two? As Stephen King, an American Author says that,"Books and Movies are like Apples and Oranges.They both are fruit but taste completely different." If books are our best friends then movies are our best companion to understand the particular thing or the concept of the story. 

Five Golden Globe Award nominated,Sir Kenneth Banagh is an actor and filmmaker in Ireland. He made the film based on Mary Shelly's Novel, Frankenstein-The Modern Prometheus originally written in 1818 and the film was released in 1994.

As Roger Ebert said his review regarding the movie;

"I admired the scene of De Niro so much I'm tempted to give "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein" a favorable verdict. But it's a near miss. The creature is on target, but the rest of the film is so frantic,so manic, it doesn't pause to be sure it's effects are registration."

Here are some differences between Movie and Novel. 

Points	Movie	Novel
Starting	Caption Robert Walton and his crew who were trapped at Arctic Sea.	Walton wrote a series letters to his sister which he described his journey or eagerness to read more and get knowledge.
