7/10
A unique take on the Frankenstein story

Warning: Spoilers
i just watched Roger Corman's "Frankenstein Unbound".i had no expectations,so i was pleasantly surprised.this is actual a very entertaining movie,with good performances across the board.i especially liked the monster.i thought it was very realistic and could see how it would inspire fear in people.the special effects were not the greatest,but i have seen much worse.they did not take away from the story.i also liked the plot.a scientist from the year 2031 transported through time to the day of doctor Frankenstein. i thought that was a unique twist on the story.i have also seen the dreadful "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein" starring Kenneth Branau as doctor Frankenstein(I believe he also directed the film)and Robert Deniro in a casting blunder as the monster.this movie came out some years later,but it still pales in comparison to Frankenstein Unbound.the one complaint i do have about this film is the way it ended.they had the opportunity to tie things up,and they didn't.this is a minor complaint however.this movie is definitely worth a rental. 7* out of 10
