The
tale is split up into two parts
on the disk.
Is
It Any Good? It is a Hallmark
Entertainment mini-series who
specialise in these sorts of
family friendly classic
adaptations with an epic scope.
It is solidly told tale with
good performances and production
values. The plight of the
misunderstood creature is given
equal measure so we can
sympathise with him just as much
as with Victor.
The
only slight problem I had with
the "Creature" is that
he is not at all hideous looking
and so the instant response of
fear and repulsion that he
conjures in those he meets
doesn't quite ring true -
because with a hair-cut and
better clothes he could easily
pass for a slightly pale looking
ordinary man. He can hold normal
reasoned conversations and is
capable of empathy and kindness
and has a soft
benevolent-sounding voice so
it's not clear why everyone
automatically fears him because
other than Victor they don't
know the origins of his
existence.
Anyway
that quibble aside it's a good
entertaining version of a
classic tale.
