Radcliffe and McAvoy should've traded places
Daniel should've played Victor Frankenstein and James should've played Igor. I think James could've easily played both parts, but Daniel was distracting as the supporting actor imo.
shareSo you think Daniel wouldn't be distracting as a main character?
shareNo, honestly. He's always played the lead in movies - until Frankenstein. Even before Harry Potter, he got an acting gig as a child where he played the lead in some small film. Then after Harry, he did a lot of indies where he was the main character. I'm not saying he's a a better actor than James McAvoy, but Daniel is too recognizable to audiences and can't simply blend in imo.
shareI think Daniel was just fine as co led playing the igor character.
shareGuys you've missed the bit where Daniel Radcliffe was actually the main character of this whole movie.

How when the title of the film is Victor Frankenstein XD
P.S. Daniel Radcliffe can't act. share
Well if it was called "Igor" who would have known it was the story about Frankenstein's monster innit ;D
The story was told from Igor's perspective, so he was really the protagonist, even though he was just the sidekick of Victor, if you know what I mean!
As datkaa says, Daniel Radcliffe IS the main actor. The whole film is from his perspective. It's about him being in the circus then being 'cured' of his supposed hunchback, falling in love, looking up to his new master and then seeing everything fall apart. The whole film is about him.
Victor Frankenstein is just the more famous name. McAvoy drifts in and out of the film while Radcliffe is almost always on screen.
Ever heard of "Driving Miss Daisy"? The novel "Demian"?
shareThis is true that the story is told from Igor's POV, but I think the OP means that Daniel should have played who the story was about overall. Yes, Igor is the main character and it is shown from his POV, but this story isn't about him, it mainly focuses on Frankenstein because Igor is mainly focusing on Frankenstein.
I'm a Timelord.
Right, not pompous at all then.
