User blog:RoninTheMasterless/Masterless Review of I, Frankenstein

I liked it; yeah you read me right; I liked I, Frankenstein. I heard it was based on a graphic novel that I never read, and It had only 4% on the tomatometer (as if their opinions should matter). It had a laundry list of issues if I'm honest, but it is a pretty neat idea, decent action, and it has Yvonne Strahovski in it (and if she's not enough reason to see it, you're probably not alive). There are Gargoyles, which look pretty badass, Demons, Which look downright stupid, and then there's Adam (Frankenstein's monster); He looks pretty cool, I just wish he had a lot more stitches and such so he would look like he was sewn of mulitple corpses, instead of just Aaron Eckhart but green. Say what you will about it not even remotely resembeling the Shelley's original work, but there are some interesting nods; Adam (the name he is given) is inspired by a quote the monster said "I am the Adam of your labors," which I thought was neat. I persoanlly don't care about closeness to source material, unless that is the goal of a piece, which it wasn;t here anyway. If you like action, go see it. I liked how it (or should have) made you ponder what makes life sacred; is it "being made by god," which is actually people born from a man and woman having sex, or do people who are made alternativly deserve the same opprotunity to live as any other, such as the artificial being, Frankenstein. The head Gargoyle even says "All live is sacred," but even she considers Adam an abomination, but even she cannot deny that he is a living, feeling being, with a "soul." Despite it being more action than plot, and the plot having way more holes than I would like, it did have a good moral at the end; I think if you watch it, you may find that you're notions about life and death may very well have room for someone like Adam; I know mine were.
