Review

Branagh, Britain's wunderkind du jour, sets his sights away from Shakespeare and onto less fanciful fare with this egocentric and grisly adaptation of the time-honored tale which takes the notion "the sins of the father..." to a truly horrific level. Returning to the original source and the central theme that man was not meant to play God, Branagh delivers an emotionally complex portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein as a man who creates life and then turns his back on it, thus setting the stage for a Gothic tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. There are, of course, Branagh's trademark histrionics -- dizzying, non-stop camerwork, a booming and somewhat distracting score, and some shameless overacting by the director-star. De Niro is an un-Karloff monster.
