mitchy at 03:02pm on 14/08/2010 under 30 days of movies meme14. Movie you wished you'd never paid money to see?
Oh dear. *shudderfits* Kenneth Branagh (who I normally adore) produced a real stinker of a movie - "Frankenstein" (1994). It sounded great on paper, there's a veritable who's who of British movie and theatre talent in the picture in addition to which, Robert De Niro was cast as the monster. Fantastic, right?
AAARRRGGGH!!!
I went to see it with a group of colleagues and because of that, I didn't feel I could walk out of the picture. Which was a pity because when we compared notes afterwards, everyone wished they'd left early and gone to the pub!
How to describe the horror? Umm. No, sorry, there are no words that can adequately describe the horror that is a naked Robert De Niro wrestling with Branagh in jelly, sorry, birthing fluids, for several minutes. The plot was so wayward I'm not even sure there was one and I can only assume De Niro needed the money or something because it's not his finest movie hours. The dialogue was dull and the whole thing so turgid that yeh, really should have walked out and gone to the pub.
Avoid :P
