Frankenstein

I did not enjoy the movie Frankenstein as much as I did The Day the Earth Stood Still. The melodramatic acting was distracting and it was dissapointing that even though there were many Hollywood stars in this movie it still wasn't very good. Another annoying thing about the movie was that the music was also extremely dramatic and unnecesarily loud and fast at the parts of the movies that were supposed to be the most intense.

I had never read the book before nor seen any of the movies, so I came into this movie not being able to compare it to any other version, only to other movies that I've seen, and I thought it was not a very good movie. I had actually thought that the monster was named Frankenstein before we started the movie and started discussing it, and I was surprised to hear that the monster didn't have a name and that Frankenstein was the name of the scientist.

I didn't understand the end of the movie. I am not sure how Victor Frankenstein got into the middle of the artic and why the monster was there also. I also am confused as to why the monster killed himself when Victor was going to be burned.
