Just watched the new Frankenstein movie on Netflix. I‘m a huge fan of the book and this adaptation skewed pretty far from the source material. I wish it had been truer to the book! But it‘s beautifully shot, and Jacob Elordi was brilliant as the Creature.

vivastory It definitely took some liberties... but I can definitely understand the reasoning 3d

Frankenstein | Mary Shelley

My first read of Frankenstein, October 2025 in time to watch the new movie. So much wonderful language in here, and one of my fav parts of the movie was when the word Countenance was used. One could have a Countenance drinking game while reading this. Frankenstein is a whiney bastard who always runs from the problems he‘s created at the expense of his loved ones; the monster more human than human. The movie lacked so much of this.

danx I was utterly disappointed in del Toro‘s choice to end the movie with a quote from Byron. Why not a quote from Mary Shelley? There are so many wonderful lines in this book. 4d

Cathythoughts Great review! What a shame the movie couldn‘t have told the story Mary Shelley wrote. ❤️ 4d

We read Frankenstein for our Bookclub. There are so many layers of meaning and angles to look at it from. I didn‘t understand half of all that, but I loved reading it. I watched some of the new Frankenstein movie and it is beautifully filmed, mesmerizing to watch , But , I was disappointed that the story was not the same as the book.

Tamra I fell in love with this novel! 💜 Agreed, it‘s incredibly rich in themes. I don‘t think I‘ll watch the film if that‘s the case. 5d

BookmarkTavern What a great picture! 💖 4d

Cathythoughts @Tamra I havnt finished it , but I will go back to it. Victor‘s father is cruel , not the loving man of the book.. Also Elizabeth comes into the story in a very different way. I‘d love to have seen Mary Shelley‘s story told. I‘m curious to see what else happens, now that I‘m over the shock ( as I read somewhere that this film is true to the book 🙄) … 4d

Cathythoughts @BookmarkTavern Thankyou ❤️ 4d

Frankenstein | Mary W. Shelley

Did anyone else watch the #frankenstein movie that came out yesterday? I‘m SO intrigued by other peoples‘ thoughts. I have one major gripe with it- Victor‘s parental background. Much of the tragedy in the book centers around how Victor came from an extremely loving family but didn‘t carry those values to his treatment of his own “child”. The movie shows such a different background for Victor that seems to give a more generational trauma message.

TieDyeDude I haven't read the book yet, but I loved this movie version. It made me want to read the book more than any other version I've seen. That change in his background is interesting; it totally worked for the movie, and fits with themes in the rest of del Toro's filmography. I like the idea of him coming from a loving family, though. 4d

Lin3han @TieDyeDude I HIGHLY recommend the book. I just reread it within the past week and it‘s a true masterpiece. I really liked Del Toro‘s version too! I think it‘s the best adaptation out there. I also don‘t put much stock into movie adaptations because the media is so different, but this adaptation was beautiful! 4d

danx There is so much which was lost in the movie. Inverting his childhood; the monster too pretty; removing his mother at a young age and Justine completely making for an overly masculine story, even ending with a Byron quote which I found poor taste; the monster doesn‘t cause any direct hurt and so it lacked all complexity and had a totally different reasoning and morality. Pretty enough movie and enjoyed the theatre experience, confused that GdT is 4d

danx supposed to be such a fan with the choices he made. I respect it‘s a take on the story and a retelling but not my favourite of his work. 4d

I had started this book for the buddy read for #hauntedshelf but it took me too long. I could go into themes and why this book is so brilliant but mostly, I forgot how many melancholy fits Victor Frankenstein has. The man is the dictionary definition of depressed.

Guillermo del Toro is a true artist, and, since missing Nightmare Alley, it had been too long since I've seen one of his films in theaters. I was so happy to see his latest last night during its limited run. I've yet to read the source material, but his take on Frankenstein is hauntingly emotional and the film just looks amazing. Isaac and Elordi are brilliant. Streaming on Netflix tomorrow!

This was a reread for me, and while I always love reading along with the #HashtagBrigade , ol' Victor got on my nerves even more this time around. He's just so useless! If he spent half the time actually doing something productive as he does sitting around and bemoaning his fate, the creature wouldn't have had the opportunities for destruction that he had. In the end, I think both Frankenstein and the creature are both monsters. This book ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) definitely deserves its status as a classic and is completely worth the read, but I get too aggravated with literally everyone to really love it. Soft pick.

Took my daughter to the movies on Halloween to see Frankenstein, by Guillermo Del Toro. It veers from the book but it was a beautiful adaptation, Elizabeth has far more of a role and the Creature‘s initial innocence is so well done. Daughter wept - I nearly did - really moving. Also a bit gory in places. I saw a great meme titling the movie “Frankenstein - or how to DIY Jacob Elordi in your basement” 😂

I was reading Guillermo del Toro's comments about his new take on Frankenstein.

Never read the book, nor have I watched any of the movies...I tried when I was a kid, but I just couldn't because it was just too sad.

Yet, I found Guillermo's remarks on the storyline very interesting.

AnnCrystal Qoute “I did want it to have the arrogance of Victor [Frankenstein] be similar in some ways to the tech bros. He's kind of blind, creating something without considering the consequences.“ - Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro later clarified that the film is not a metaphor for AI, stating, “I'm not afraid of artificial intelligence. I'm afraid of natural stupidity.“

Frankenstein was enjoyable enough. As usual it wasn‘t at all what I thought it would be, but that‘s not a bad thing. My favorite chapters were the ones where they were on the boat. My least favorites were when Frank would just faint for months at a time.

Picture is of the pumpkin I bought today because the lady at the register said it looked like Frankenstein. (I didn‘t tell her she meant the creature.)

I noticed some mixed reactions as I left the sold out nighttime showing of Del Toro's latest. Personally? I loved it. I think that if you have read the, & enjoyed, the book you will be pleased. I think that otherwise it might seem too slow. Although there are a few liberties here & there it is a very faithful version & it is undoubtedly one of Del Toro's most visually stunning works.

Bookwomble @vivastory I really liked Cabinet of Curiosities, especially the Lovecraft adaptations (despite the liberties!). I'd guessed they weren't doing a second series after this time - so many good shows don't seem to get the traction they need 🫤 3w

vivastory @Bookwomble This is true. I read recently in Filterworld that around 70 percent of the NF content are series. That's why I'm so cautious of starting any of them. I mean Stranger Things is wrapping up a decade after it aired, but this is the new norm for streaming 3w

Clare-Dragonfly “Make another one of the people who horrified and disgusted you” doesn‘t sound like the greatest plan, but I guess the creature didn‘t think of “treat me like a human being and introduce me to other people as one so they‘ll get used to me,” and anyway I don‘t think Victor would go for that after the creature killed William. 4w

Bookwormjillk Frank will do anything to avoid owning up to what he did in the first place 4w

BookwormAHN I wonder if he really would have left Victor alone if he had made him a wife. 4w

ElizaMarie This is the chapter where my feeling for the creature ends. 4w

peanutnine I can't help but feel sorry for him. Even though his victims did nothing wrong to him, he has only been shown the same unkindness 1mo

dabbe @peanutnine IKR? The only way to wreak vengeance on Victor is to harm those he loves--just as Victor harmed him by completely ostracizing him. So sad! 😢 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I do feel bad for the creature—but I have no idea how he made the leap to burning the house down or murdering a child! 1mo

KAO @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m with you! 1mo

ElizaMarie So- I still kinda feel bad for him- but now he is taking it to far and it‘s harder to feel bad for him. Especially since he is able to communicate so well, I can‘t find him as a poor helpless creature. 1mo

My local library branch just reopened after renovations, so OF COURSE kiddo and I were here shortly after opening. This shelf display has me 🧐🤨 Is Frankenstein dark academia? Inquiring minds want to know.

MuddyPuddle Good question! 1mo

Litsi No 1mo

Cathythoughts I‘ve only just started the book, good question. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but I see dark academia here …. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Huh… it‘s a stretch but not entirely wrong. Victor goes to university to do all his creating. 1mo

ravenlee @MuddyPuddle @Litsi @Cathythoughts @Clare-Dragonfly I can see how you could make the argument, and I agree that there are elements of dark academia, but I think it‘s more adjacent than full-on DA. But while I know Frankenstein reasonably well, I‘m no expert on DA as a genre. 1mo

KAO @TheAromaofBooks I take it back! The description of mysterious, misty paths in the mountains of Switzerland in this chapter seems ideal for the setting here! (My limited experiences in the Swiss Alps have mostly been glorious summer days where it was hard to let dark thoughts take up any space in one‘s mind in the face of such grandeur!) (edited) 1mo

KAO I confess that I‘m flabbergasted that the creature has such fantastic thought processes and linguistic abilities!! All from the transplanted brain? Can‘t wait to learn more! 1mo

See All 12 Comments

Bookwormjillk @KAO that‘s what I thought too! I didn‘t expect such an eloquent creature! 1mo

dabbe The creature is highly intelligent and longs for companionship. Victor (the “father) shuns his creation JUST BECAUSE he is hideous on the outside. The creature then becomes hideous on the inside because of his abandonment by Victor. One just has to ask: which is more important to one's development as a human being? Nature or nurture? The easy answer is both are important, but the case for “nurture“ is about to be made by the creature in his tale. 1mo

Sparklemn @dabbe Can‘t wait to hear the creature‘s sad tale. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @KAO - I guess any setting can be good for a bit of a horror story if it's stormy enough 😂 1mo

dabbe @Sparklemn IKR? It's a doozy. 🖤 1mo

ElizaMarie Where did he get the monsters brain? So where was he “hiding” how did the monster get so intelligent. He just wants his daddy to love him. 1mo

julieclair The creature‘s eloquence was definitely a surprise! I‘m already beginning to feel a bit sorry for him. 1mo

dabbe Of course, blame the help! Victor is now responsible for two deaths for not being forthcoming regarding his role in this fiasco. It seems that the creature is wreaking his revenge on Victor for abandoning him. All innocence is lost. 1mo

KAO Meanwhile, ever since the beginning of this book, I‘ve been amazed that this takes place in Switzerland, of all places! So are these characters British transplants—and I missed that somehow? Or are they really speaking German, French, Italian, or Romansh (official languages of Switzerland), and we‘re just getting an English translation?? Just seems odd to me! 1mo

KAO Okay—I had forgotten about the letters at the beginning! Robert Walton wrote to his family members from Russia and then later from his sea voyage about meeting this very sad fellow traveller (Victor, I assume), who spoke “in English, although with a foreign accent” and who later shared his tragic tale. I know he needed to be from a mysterious place, but Switzerland? 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Victor continues to be incredibly self-centered, insisting that he is the most tormented! 1mo

ElizaMarie Poor Justine!!! 1mo

Sparklemn Why didn‘t anyone at the trial ask how she could have had the physical strength to strangle a healthy young man with her bare hands? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @KAO - Switzerland has a lot of dramatic settings, so it definitely helps 😂 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Sparklemn - Right? And why said healthy young man would just... let her?? 1mo

KAO @TheAromaofBooks I guess you‘re right! My own experiences there have been quite limited and significantly less dramatic in a “great setting for a horror story” sense! 😂 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @KAO - Ooooo I would love to visit Switzerland! I am sure photographs do not do it justice! 1mo

Seabreeze_Reader @Clare-Dragonfly Those were my thoughts, too! He claims to be wretched but then basically does nothing. By this point, Victor should have been trying to track down his creation, knowing what will likely happen again. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Sparklemn @TheAromaofBooks I thought he was a child… 1mo

Sparklemn @Clare-Dragonfly oh, he may be a child! I‘m not sure which brother is which. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @Sparklemn @Clare-Dragonfly - I think he was 7 or 8? And “tall for his age“ from Elizabeth's letter. I'm sure he could have been overpowered by a full-grown woman, but it still seems like it would have been a struggle, or that he would have had time to call out for help? 1mo

dabbe Maybe the moms die to spur the children to grow up and go on their quest. Victor's mom definitely did that for him. I find it interesting, too, that Victor ignores the warnings of his first professor, Krempe, just as Walton seems to ignore Victor: both are blinded by their ambition to gain glory. Walton wants to find the northwest passage, and Victor wants to aid society through science. As @BarkingMadRead knowingly said, #whatcouldgowrong? 1mo
