It’s not a completely accurate version of Mary Shelley's novel, yet it remains incredibly significant to film history and movies in general. I considered writing about what 1931’s _Frankenstein_ meant for cinema's development, especially because filmmaking was still very new at the time. To do something even remotely like what _Frankenstein_ accomplished—altering culture and staying relevant all this time, nearly a century later—is an incredible feat that deserves recognition. However, that kind of analysis isn’t really my thing. While it may have been impressive when it came out, I've never personally thought much of it. Watching it again for Halloween, which I believe is the fourth time, didn’t make it as captivating as others seem to think. My roommate actually dozed off. It’s not that the picture quality is a problem; it just lacks the philosophical depth present in the book and isn't quite as compelling as newer films. _Final rating:★★½ - I didn’t connect with it, but I understand why others like it._
