"Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' Movie Review: Miscasting and Confusing Plot Choices"

"Frankenstein," directed by Guillermo del Toro, is a gothic horror thriller based on Mari Shellei's classic novel. The movie, available on Netflix, features miscasting and confusing plot choices.

The film explores themes of obsession, creation, abandonment, and regret through the characters of Victor Frankenstein (played by Oscar Isaac) and his creature (played by Jacob Elordi). Despite strong performances, some actors like Mia Goth felt miscast.

Del Toro's direction and the dual narrative structure add depth to the story set primarily in 19th-century London, but the nearly three-hour runtime may test viewers' patience.
