so, which movie-"Frankenstein"'s better? The original 30's Version, the Hammer-Studio's 50s incarnation, or the 90's neo-revisionist approach?

I got all three, and each of them has something else going for them...

[Rusty Venture]

All are better than that boring book.

[johnnyb]

That book was terrible... I think it`s time for a new movie starring Morgan Freeman.

I read the both Mary Shelly's book and the book that was based on the movie with Kenneth Branaugh and Robert De Niro. Both were pretty dry, although I seem to have liked the original more than anyone else here.

I hear Dracula was pretty mind-numbing, as well.

huh huh...I have the power supreme...huh huh...huh huh...that was cool.

The only good Frankenstein movie is Young Frankenstein.

I understand that the "bolts in the neck" monster everyone loves is not anything like the one in the book, but it wasn't anywhere near as painfully boring as that friggin book.

I want to build a time machine so I can go back and slap Mary Shelly for every instance she used the words "sublime" and "melancholy". She used the words so much I thought I was writing it to impress the goths hanging out at the local Hot Topic.

I probably could have overlooked the overuse of words if she didn't go into needless detail about damn near *everything* rendering the book a chore to read.


The plus side is the other books I had to read for that class were actually interesting:

Brave New World
Fahrenheit 451

Funny that you should think so, since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a "Gothic Novel", and Mary Shelley (alongside her husband, Percy Byshe Shelley) frequented in the so-called "gothic circles"

Yeah, I guess she distictly wanted to point out that this was supposed to be a sublime and melancholic novel.

The plus side is the other books I had to read for that class were actually interesting:

Brave New World
Fahrenheit 451

Seconded, those ARE interesting reads.

[MrMatthews]

Thirded!

[VinnyT]

I Spark Notes-ed the hell out of Frankenstein. My essay on it was describing the relationship of Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein. I got a 'B'.

Hot Topic has been around longer than I thought.

I also had to read that boring Frankenstein book by Mary Shelley, she should've been banned from writing after that as I have no clue how anyone read that book and enjoy it, maybe standards back than were lower or it could be from all the beer and liquor they drank back than they couldn't tell the difference between good and bad literature.
