Victor Frankenstein
Character from Mary Shelley's 1818 novel
For the 2015 film, see Victor Frankenstein (film).
Fictional character
Victor Frankenstein is a fictional character who first appeared as the titular main protagonist of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. He is a Swiss scientist (born in Naples, Italy) who, after studying chemical processes and the decay of living things, gains an insight into the creation of life and gives life to his own creature (often referred to as Frankenstein's monster, or often colloquially referred to as simply "Frankenstein"). Victor later regrets meddling with nature through his creation, as he inadvertently endangers his own life and the lives of his family and friends when the creature seeks revenge against him. He is first introduced in the novel when he is seeking to catch the monster near the North Pole and is saved from near death by Robert Walton and his crew.
Some aspects of the character are believed to have been inspired by 17th-century alchemist Johann Konrad Dippel. Certainly, the author

I suppose as a longtime fan of Universal monster movies and other forms of classic horror, as well as being, you know, an old man, I can be forgiven for having hoped that this newfangled origin story of a fabled monster maker would be something not entirely awful. Call me a naïve old man. Directed by Paul McGuigan (of “Lucky Number Slevin,” which should have tipped me off a little) from a screen story and script by Max Landis (of whom it can be said, at the very least, that horror appreciation runs in his family, what with his father having made “An American Werewolf In London”), “Victor Frankenstein” is, despite bravura performances from committed young leads Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy, all kinds of obnoxious and pointless.
It begins with Radcliffe’s Igor narrating that there’s a story “we all know,” but that the story he’s about to tell is different … and yes, I said Igor. Radcliffe’s at-first-nameless character is introduced as a much-abused circus hunchback who’s also, get this, a self-taught expert in anatomy and biology. I know, right? He pines for circus acrobat Lo

Look movie makers. If you just insist on making boring movies don't add insult to injury for those of us who see a stories great potential and grind our way through the gruelling two hours or more hoping fruitlessly that the movie somehow redeems itself before the end only to be left sitting there with nothing but bloodshot eyes and regret. Just make them shorter and let us get past them quickly so we can move on with our lives.

I don't know lf I like it or not. There were some very good scenes in it but the "Frankenstein" monster was just too violent. Now Dr Frankenstein freeing Igor was so heart warming. I felt so bad for Igor n then he turned into a fine young man n to win the heart of his fellow circus performer whom always nice to Igor. That was my favorite part. Hmmmm. So I'm undecided between a rating of 3 n 4.. so I'm stuck at a 3 1/2 stars
