Review – I, Frankenstein

Just try to summarize the plot of this movie without sounding like a dim-witted seven year old. Gargoyles and demons are having a war and the demons are trying to win by bringing dead bodies back to life and filling them with demons only then Frankenstein shows up and at first the gargoyles kidnap him but then they give him magic whupping sticks and he starts killing demons until ... see what I mean? Director Stuart Beattie is known primarily for screenwriting, so I’m a bit surprised he’d go to work with a script this bad. Though the action sequences were reasonably well assembled, I found myself constantly distracted by questions such as “if all you mighty supernatural beings are trying to keep your war hidden from humanity, should you really be rampaging through the middle of a city knocking the roofs off buildings and making demons pop like Fourth of July fireworks?” See if desperate
