I saw Danny Boyle's Frankenstein last night. It opened with the creation of the monster. It took many liberties with Mary Shelley's book, but was still far closer to the original than the 1931 version starring Boris Karloff. My wife was feeling a tad under the weather, so I took my 13 year old grandson. I was afraid he wouldn't like it, so I showed him some YouTube previews first. Surprisingly, he liked it quite a bit. I was afraid it would be too talky for him. A monster who quotes Milton isn't necessarily appealing to kids that age. I wasn't too crazy about the $15 ticket price, but I would have paid far more to see the actual play in London, England rather than a film of the play in a theater here in the USA.
