Reaction: Wow. Huge numbers for a Frankenstein adaptation. It has actually become the highest grossing Frankenstein movie of all time, so we're very happy with the results. Our fledgling "Monster Universe" has another hit following Dracula Origins. It has inspired us to fast track any monster movie we currently have in development. Expect news on that soon.
"I really can't say this movie added anything to the Frankenstein mythos. It seems a bit cobbled together from pieces of the successful adaptations - much like the creature itself." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star
"While it hits most of the traditional beats, the performances and the direction set it apart from other recent Frankenstein adaptations." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun
"Visually, this is one of the best looking films I've seen in a while. Sure, the story is a bit too familiar, but it's the fine attention to detail that makes this Frankenstein stand out." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
