The distrust you guys all have for the creature was quite insane

When the movie first started, I wasn't really intrigued yet but when they showed the process of making Frankenstein, they did a good job. This film was way better than I expected—5/5 for me. I got a little choked up at the end—no crying, just choked (not with Victor), just Frankenstein staring at the sun and being free.❤

This was absolutely beautiful. My heart definitely ached for this character. Well done to all the actors and the storyline.

Pleasantly surprised by Jacob's performance as the creature 👏👏

When it comes to book adaptations into movies I can normally be pretty unenthusiastic and almost never like the adaptation that much, and considering I had to study the Frankenstein novel in depth for my studies I didn’t have high hopes… but I actually really really enjoyed this adaptation. Of course creative license was taken and they swapped some backstories and character details etc but the film was very much in keeping with the philosophical themes and topics of the original. It honestly had a lot of depth and also pays homage to a lot of other literary works mentioned in the original so I was really impressed. For Mason Quinn the original novel does have the scene he was waiting for at the river, where they mistakingly think the creature is responsible for the death of a little girl. (I’ve not seen the film in question so I don’t know how faithfully that film depicted that scene.) I highly recommend studying the Novel if you ever get the chance, it’s a really profoundly enriching experience. Great reaction as always.

This was one of my favourites of 2025. I’ve always been a fan of Guillermo del Toro’s work but to learn through many interviews that Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was the story that started it all was just *chef’s kiss*. His ability to humanize the monsters or other beings in his movies while also revealing the imperfect and sometimes cruel side of the actual humans in these stories is, in my opinion, what’s so great about his work. There are many things to love about this movie that were touched on in your reaction — the cinematography, costumes, use of practical effects, themes, the list goes on, but I thought I’d point out a few details that I especially loved in this adaptation. For one, the costume design. I’ve watched many, many period pieces and it can be hard as a viewer (depending on the exact era) to connect with characters, the story, etc when the clothes look very bland and are simply there for the sake of getting things as accurate as possible. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but in this case, Guillermo del Toro and his team took some liberties with the costumes, making sure to really emphasize the colours, textures, and patterns in such a way that it still served a purpose in creating visual dimension for each character. Starting with the source of his love but also trauma, Victor’s mother, is associated with RED. She’s fairly young, a foreigner, and hated/resented by her husband, so to choose red as her main colour really emphasizes how out of place she is as a woman in this household. Claire was also played by Mia Goth, who was Elizabeth, so how’s that for some Freudian-Oedipus complex type stuff. Then we have Victor’s father, whose main colour is BLACK. Simple enough, the man is portrayed as cold and abusive so what better than to signal this with something devoid of actual colour. Victor then dons BOTH red and black to represent his parents, and I especially love the detail of his red leather gloves, which could be interpreted as having blood on his hands, but also a constant reminder of his mother and his mission. He then starts wearing bits of green as the movie progresses depending on the scene, which is taken as a nod to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, who values science and empathizes with all living beings but especially those most vulnerable like insects and the Creature, is shown in shades of GREEN and BLUE as these are some of the most naturally occurring colours found in nature, down to the insects she studies (she even had a beetle necklace in the blue look we first see her in). Also with regards to her wedding dress, the bandage-like sleeves are a nod to The Bride of Frankenstein (although ultimately in this adaptation, I didn't really see Elizabeth as a romantic partner for the Creature but more like an equal, someone who can relate to the oppressive nature of being a woman during this time while still exhibiting some innocence and curiosity). And finally William is mainly found in BLUE, which wasn’t the most obvious or striking colour choice, but I think just signals how much of a calm presence he has in comparison to Victor and the other characters. Highly recommend watching the behind the scenes special on Netflix if you haven’t already! There’s so much thought that goes into every aspect of this film. Thematically, I really loved the father-son story we got throughout. As you pointed out when Victor started hitting the Creature, he was essentially imparting the same trauma onto his own creation the way his father did to him. I thought it was a powerful way to depict how trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. Victor literally created life, which is arguably the whole point of being human or at least advancing the human race, only to disregard the Creature because he was disappointed in the outcome of his own pursuits. How many times have we seen this play out in movies or even in our own lives where people have children or even just something they want to achieve, and then these big life moments finally come, and instead of being grateful and excited to see where things go, end up projecting our own insecurities onto them. Overall just such a beautiful story that probably makes this one of my favourite GDT movies ever, if not THE top choice.

it hurt my heart too i was like guys noooo he’s so sweet please

I'm so happy this is here, I've been waiting for all my fave reactors to do this movie! this movie is insanely beautiful and easily my fave move ive seen in a LONG time, it's up there in my top 10 of all time now! i feel like most of the time nowadays its all about the big action blockbuster movies, that its refreshing seeing something like this. that even though theres compromise at the end for both victor and the creature, theres still really no resolution for him as he will just continue to live on and have to deal with the violence and horror that is humans. it left me wanting more and i love that honestly. Also it makes you wonder how much you can trust victors version of the story, hes an unreliable narrator. ive seen people on twitter saying they wonder if when the creature says "elizabeth" to victor in almost a snarky way, if it was truly snarky or if that was just what victor saw\heard. And Victor being the creatures first word is like dada to a baby, seeing Victor continue the cycle of abuse just made me so angry. About the milk, its definitely implied Victor has mommy issues. Mia Goth played both the mother and Elizabeth, so Victor sees his mother in Elizabeth and a weird attraction comes from it. Everyone did a fantastic job, oscar isaac ive only ever seen in more positive roles so the fact he can play such an asshole is great. Andrew Garfield was supposed to be the creature but he had to back out and I'm honestly glad he did, only having seen Jacob Elordi in frat boy type roles he truly blew me away, the physical and emotional acting was incredible, that's truly a special gift that I feel not a lot of actors can do. The way he moved his body in certain ways was so cool. I feel like this is truly his breakout role and i cant wait to see what he does in the future. im biased after this movie but he should definitely do more creature type roles! with him being an Australian, the way he transformed his voice amazed me, its unrecognizable. And like Oak said, him being so tall they didnt have to add onto his height or cgi it, hes just genuinely imposing lol hes a beast. If you didn't already look it up, the blind man was Filch from Harry Potter!

This is a visually beautiful film, as one expects from Del Toro. But I’m disappointed that they sanitised the creature’s character. Although he is more true to the book than the old Hammer Horror films, he still does some horribly violent things to innocent, defenceless characters early in his revenge against Victor in the original story. This film watered down the question that is the overarching theme of the book. Would the Victor’s creation have committed such acts if Victor had taken responsibility for teaching and nurturing him instead of rejecting and shunning him. Yes, Victor himself is certainly a monster, but the creature is not as innocent as he is presented here.

Tyler Guy

Yo Oak you where right she never wanted any of them she just chose to marry Victors brother because its the lesser of two evils she was basically saying she feel alone in this world an Victor yeah shared her interests but was utterly insane. The Creature wasn't like a love interest in the traditional way but her glimpse into something pure and devoid of what taints us men. This film deserves more thought from viewers and consideration it was truly interesting.

Crystal

I mean he does maim and kill quite a few people in the movie lol I don’t think they sanitized him, they just made it really clear his violence is always a reaction to how he’s being viewed/treated and his revenge which is still true to the book.

Crystal

I really thought it was interesting the way you all reacted to the creature in the beginning, always kind’ve thinking the worst in him lol so many times y’all would tense thinking he was going to get violent, because I never felt that at all he seems so innocent and harmless in the beginning. I wonder if that was more guys felt that way vs women.

Jess

Same here. I immediately felt a very maternal sort of empathy towards the creature like I want to just give him a big hug lol. The boys’ reaction is probably a mixture of not being women and also only having the old horror films as references to the nature of the creature

Jess

I loved this adaptation! Visually it’s just so stunning, like every shot could be an oil painting. was actually very pleased with the casting of Jacob Elordi. I’m a big fan of the book and Mary Shelley herself writes that Victor chose only the most attractive parts of the most attractive men to create his creature so it made sense to cast him haha. Thank you guys for a great watch as always!!

Jan T

He kills Victor’s brother William, who is just a young child in the book, then frames a female family servant for the murder who is then hanged. And he kills Elizabeth on her wedding night, both murders out of pure spite. They certainly sanitised that aspect of his character. The people he kills in the movie are mostly directly attacking him.

Natacha P

I'm only 2 minutes into this but got soooo confused about the English subtitles not matching what my brain heard. Then i recognised the Danish actors 😅 Didn't expect the movie to start out in Danish!

Aria Isara

I actually like that Del Toro made his innocence less debatable because I have seen some horrible takes on the novel online, that say Shelley was trying to push the idea he did bad things because he is naturally evil inside, because he is ugly, and that Shelley believed in physiognomy 😭🤦‍♀️

Aria Isara

I actually dislike the book, the chapters with the Creature as narrator are great but in the chapters with Victor as narrator it felt like he was whining "oh poor me" all the time and I couldn't stand the character 😬

Aria Isara

It sounds nuts but I've loved him since The Kissing Booth and I'm glad I was right about his talent and that he's getting more and more recognition 😁

Aria Isara

Right? I despise his character, in the book it's even worse because he is the main narrator and he whines all the time! 😑
