First look: ‘I, Frankenstein’

Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto and Jai Courtney

Writer-director: Stuart Beattie

The story: Two hundred years later, Dr. Frankenstein’s creature, Adam (Eckhart), is caught in a war for souls between gargoyles and demons.

The buzz: Hoo, boy! The studio is keeping critics away from this one. But at least the ladies dragged to this by their significant others can gaze at the shirtless, buff Frankenstein’s monster, who looks exactly like Aaron Eckhart with a few scars.
