Director obviously confused.

When Victor talks of 'The Modern Prometheus' in this film, for some reason he is talking about the monster, which shows a total lack of understanding. In Shelley's title she is comparing Frankenstein with the man who had the audacity to steal fire from the gods.
This, coupled with a script littered with american English, spoiled what I thought was otherwise an enjoyable enough film. Bad research and bad writing. Lazy.
