Honestly, with the story of Mary Shelley has not much to do. But Hollywood there is indeed at the moment anyway really great to modify existing stories on own way. This works sometimes more and sometimes less. Here I would say half, half. The so-called monster has now for me not very monstrous in itself. CG solution seemed more a kind even atraktiv. Did his time Robert de Niro seen in this role and have to say really, that was frightening. Which exist between Robert De Niro and Aaron Eckhart with or without makeup anyway enough differences.
