    Frankenstein

    ★★

    The first adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a silent film with a cool scene of the monster's creation.

    I will say the film use of mirrors and for the most part only Frankenstein sees the monster, it almost had more in common with the story from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde than it's original source.

    To be extra mean as far as silent films go, this does not stand the test of time. As I already said the monster creation…

    This was a fun film with an interesting concept.

    Robert Pattinson does a wonderful job with the different Mickey's though the film never really touches on why there are differences (probably just cause the scientists are show to be not great at their jobs).

    ★★★★

    This show has fun characters and a great sense of mystery that had me returning each week to see what will happen next.

    An uninspired story, and the animation felt off, it did not feel smooth which seems ironic since the story is about two great manga artists.
    I found the lead character to be very unlikeable with no redeeming moments that made it impossible to care for the emotional part of this anime, this whole thing does not work if as an audience member you don't care for the two characters. The 2nd character felt under developed meaning I also did not emotionally care for them either.

    The end result a rather dull short film.
