Del Toro’s Frankenstein: Monster Movie or Masterpiece?
Did you know Guillermo del Toro's dream project finally hit the big screen after 20 years? This reimagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein premiered at the Venice Film Festival to a thunderous 13-minute standing ovation. However, this isn't your typical monster movie. Del Toro paints a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of the creature, played brilliantly by Jacob Elordi, whose performance has been hailed as the heart of the $120 million film. Meanwhile, Oscar Isaac's portrayal of Victor Frankenstein, though powerful, felt somewhat unbalanced. Despite some pacing issues, the stunning visuals, rich storytelling, and incredible acting make this a must-see. Ultimately, del Toro asks us to question: who is the *real* monster?
