Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie definitely came off as a B rated type of film. It was under hyped and not very well advertised. It's better than what I expected, but it's no master piece. I would of rather just rented it than bought the movie. James McAvoy is a great actor and seemed to fit well in this movie, but Daniel Radcliffe seemed kind of awkward in his role.

There is a lot to recommend Victor Frankenstein, but it's tough to decide what the tone really is. The first act is a bit light-hearted adventure but the final act is straight-up horror/suspense. And along the way, the film jumps back and forth between the two. Some good stuff to be found in it, but a shame it never really finds iits feet.

A handsome and grim production and strong performances by Radcliffe and McAvoy, Victor Frankenstein is something of a put together monster itself with part that function very well and others not so much. I enjoyed watching it and with the great blu-ray picture and sound and for fans of this genre, recommended.

Caught this Version on premium cable and was so impressed i knew i had to own it. The story is very unique to what we are used too, the acting was top notch and the special effects were truly amazing. Not your same old Mary Shelly story.......this one is very different from beginning to end.

Sir Macovoy and Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame truly escalate this visually beautiful rendition of the Frankenstein legend to over the top heights. IT gets a bit tedious towards the end but I still enjoyed and the larger than life acting and set design really were outstanding.

An interesting take on the old Frankenstein story.

Perhaps because I suffered through a less convincing "update" of this venerable tale, 2014's largely flaccid I, Frankenstein 3D, Victor Frankenstein didn't strike me as being quite as bad as initial critical assessments at the time of its theatrical release had led me to believe. The film has more than its fair share of problems, but it also has some exciting sequences and the basic premise is decent enough, even if the realization of that premise repeatedly stumbles. Fans of the cast or those entranced by Shelley's source novel may want to check this out as a rental if nothing else. Technical merits are generally strong for those considering a purchase.

"Victor Frankenstein" is a throwback to the classic Hammer Horror films where Frankenstein, as played by Peter Cushing, was a rogue scientist with little regard for convention. Marvelous, spirited performances by a great cast, and a unique steam-punk feel. it's a lot of fun!

Bought the steelbook which is cool looking and the movie was a lot of fun! James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe play off of each other well as Victor and Igor. Has an old school monster movie feel to it and cool special effects! Definitely recommend!

Not a great movie, but much better than expected. A highly entertaining version of the relationship between Egor and Victor Frankenstein as they experiment with creating life. Excellent performance by James McAvoy as usual. Funny, Creepy, and Dramatic.

Although this story has been told several times, I enjoyed this movie. The special effects are great and im a huge fan of Daniel Radcliffe, so I was excited for this movie from the get go. Its a keeper! If you like sci-fi and are a fan of the frankenstien genre, I recommend it.

I give it 3.5 stars. I don't typically like my sci-fi movies too dark, unlike other people these days, and I was not sure if this one was dark or played for laughs prior to watching it. Frankenstein movies can go either way. So that was the reason I was a little hesitant about getting it. Otherwise I wanted to watch Daniel Radcliffe in something new, and I liked the Victorian look of it. Well, the movie is mostly serious but it has its funny moments. Daniel Radcliffe is fun to watch as Igor, who is not the "yes master" servant generally envisioned, and James McAvoy is great at playing mad man Victor Frankenstein and he's fun to watch, too. So although it's a little gory (but not too bad), I thought it was a pretty good movie.

I saw Victor Frankenstein in the theater and bought it on blu-ray to watch again. It's an enjoyable film that could have launched a franchise had it been more profitable. Lots of time spent on character study and some fun scary scenes. Worth a watch.

There have been so many variations on the story that I've lost track of the original. This one will captivate you with great acting, elaborate sets, lush color, and some plot variations. You will see perhaps unexpected acting ability by the players.

My family and I watched this movie on one of our movie nights. It wasn't quite what we expected, but it was still worth the watch. There were some parts that were a bit too long but all inn all everyone enjoyed our time together watching it.

Not quite what I expected to see when I picked up Victor Frankenstein, the story revolves around he's troll friend Igor (if that is his real name) follow as they lead into the classic story we know with a new twist! Jolly good time!

Another retelling of Frankenstein., but this one is good. It is told from the point of Igor the doctors assistant. And in this version he is part of the process not just the mindless assistant. Not a bad story line either.

I really liked this movie. I love max bendis' writing. You can tell he puts his heart into his scripts. The acting was great all around and Frankenstein's monster was awesome! Watch if you enjoyed the newish sherlock.Holmes movies with RDJ

wasn't expecting to like this, but saw it on cable one night, and wanted to buy the physical copy. reminiscent of the Branagh horror movies of the 90s, but with a sense of fun and humor absent in those. Good weekend flick.

Great performances hold the quality of this film. With a love story running through it all , the plot of monster and undying passionate pursuit of science and attaining a human miracle , all comes together for a good time.
