Film director whose Frankenstein adaptation is criticized for dumbing down the novel's themes and turning it into a story about daddy issues rather than revenge and ambition.
"It is a shame because del Toro wrote the forward to the best edition of Frankenstein you can buy, but he missed the point of the book to make it more 'autobiographical'."
"the movie is a marvel of top notch visuals, music, and imagination. It's full of allusion, allegory, humanity and pathos and makes the best case for GDT being put solely in charge of cinematic adaptations of fairy tales/fantasy."
