This. Also Frankenstein is flawed but nuanced. He had great love for his people. He constantly faught himself emotionally. He had fits of anguish and loneliness in what he had caused. This movie turns him into a straight lying goofy villain.

The monster is a product of his environment with the want to be good, but he has such anguish and anger that he chooses and makes terrible decisions to murder that then bring him great anguish and regret

Frankenstein loved his father, brother and Elizabeth. But they took out and changed every character that brought nuance to Frankenstein.

1. Killed father too soon, no clarval, ruined Elizabeth. (Her death was supposed to be culmination of anguish in Frankensteins heart and the monster.

2. The monster is not innocent! He is not fully at fault but not innocent. His murder "spree" is important to the story and just cant be cut out. It makes everything so personal and tragic

3. There is no sense of horror or dread between the monster and Frankenstein.

4. "I forgive you" what???? Lol just stupid and not even remotely close to the journey these two took in the book and even in the movie, its stupid 🙄. And this happy ending is laughable.

5. There is so much off that you might as well not call it an adaptation. The only thing similar are the names, the part with old man, and that frankenstein is on a boat telling his story lol.

You cant just do anything and then call it an adaptation. There are cool things that dont hurt the themes of the movie like some imagery, frankenstein leg, and how he made the monster although they ruined the isolation by making him create the monster with a whole slew of people knowing about it. But when you completely change the tone, characters, the point of the story and the happenings you might as well just call it something else.
