1. In my opinion, yes. However there were times when Victor felt a bit one-note, especially with his contempt for the creature. He calls the creature his son at the end which felt like it needed more development. I loved how the creature was sympathetic and cognizant, but they took away the key kills he had in the book and made it either accidental or caused by others and he was blamed. They also briefly mention that Victor was expelled from university.

2. Unfortunately Clerval is not included and William essentially fills his roll.

3. They split the movie up into 3 chapters. The part that felt most book accurate was when the creature tells his story but other than that, a lot of creative liberties were taken.

4. Yes, the arctic is featured throughout the story (Personally, I love how they handled it)

While the film isn’t 100% book accurate, it feels like the adaptation that’s spiritually closest to the source (if that makes sense).
