Guillermo del Toro Finally Gets Frankenstein RIGHT

Frankenstein is back — and THIS time, they finally got it right.

In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives into Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), a breathtaking, emotionally faithful adaptation that at last captures the heart, tragedy, and thematic power of Mary Shelley’s original novel.


As a lifelong fan of Frankenstein, Jim went into this film with high hopes… and walked out absolutely thrilled. From the stunning performances (Jacob Elordi deserves ALL the awards), to the dual-perspective storytelling, to the incredible cinematography and emotional depth, this movie delivers everything longtime fans have been waiting for.


No spoilers — just honest impressions about what makes this adaptation shine, why it stands above previous attempts, and how del Toro manages to honor one of the most important novels in speculative fiction history.
