i, frankenstein wears its stolen lineage on its sleeves. this over-serious supernatural action flick shamelessly lifts from the underworld franchise and that isn't surprising; the film is based on a graphic novel by kevin grevioux, who also provided the underworld plot. the difference between these is that while underworld had fun with its silliness, somehow this film manages to double the goof quotient and suck any remote amount of humor out, making it a solemn affair that tries to make "gargoyles as an army of god" a deeply serious storyline. the script by stuart beattie contains truly atrocious dialogue amidst a nonsensical plot in which frankenstein's monster is thrust into a war in which gargoyles battle demons with all of creation on the line. he becomes instrumental because, in reasons that are completely unexplained, the leader of the demons wants to reanimate the dead in order to allow demons to re-ascend from hell after their host bodies are killed. i get it, living bodies without souls but apparently, naberius has never heard of the term "brain dead" before. it is just one of a dozen-plus plot holes running through the film.
much like the script does, the cast in this film largely play their roles far too seriously. aaron eckhart, so good in his other films, does little to rise above the script here and instead glares his way through the film with very little variation. yvonne strahovski tries harder but doesn't succeed much better; her reanimation-researching doctor is simply too underwritten to let her deliver anything of value. miranda otto plays the leader of the gargoyles as if she's impersonating cate blanchett's galadriel in lord of the rings (which otto of course also starred in) and grevioux, socratis otto, caitlin stasey and the rest of the demon/gargoyle armies are little more than props. bill nighy is the only person who comes through somewhat unscatched; he knows exactly how campy to play it and while naberius is little more than a demonic victor, it works.
if this was silly and acknowledged it, the material would work much better. it could even get by with being somewhat serious if it wasn't so blatently ripping off underworld. from the color scheme and low-rent cgi to the war storyline, the casting of actors like nighy and grevioux and more the film seems like a ploy to bring in fans of that franchise. the gargoyles even look like hairless statues of lycans in the shape of their heads and their overall musculature. this is a joyless and completely unsatisfying film experience, made all the more frustrating by the fact that it could have had a chance to be fun at least.
