So Dr. Frankenstein was a total jerk?
I loved the film, but I can't get over how much of a dick Dr. Frankenstein was. If there was a picture of smarmy in the dictionary, he would be it. Spoiler alert, btw. I've read the book and seen many film versions, but they all seemed to portray the good doctor as an obsessed academic, good-natured but with misplaced priorities, etc. Basically everything I've read or seen placed the doctor's fault in messing with things he shouldn't, playing god, etc. This was the first time I've seen Frankenstein portrayed as a womanizing, homicidal maniac. Just an observation.
