Going out in a dangerous journey, Adam, a courageous monster of Frankenstein, that sacrifies his life, in order to save the world from the evil demon, who by the help of his owner, do their best, in order to destroy the world by taking over power and getting rid of humans, struggles against achieving his purpose.
Stabbing along at a plodding 90 minutes, I, Frankenstein is toothless and dull, with no fun to be found, a PG-rated Saturday morning cartoon at best. Keep swinging, Eckhart.

Whether in 2D or 3D, it does not have enough of a plot to intrigue or the character development to keep your attention off the clichés, derivative designs and that there is way too much CGI.
The special effects are pretty good and the fight scenes are adequate. But the film loses steam in the fourth act ...
