I love that he was trying to make an April Fools video about a really terrible movie and saying it is amazing yet you can tell that it hurts him for saying a disaster of a movie is actually film perfection LOL keep up the good work.

The idea of Frankenstein's monster living for hundreds of years as a warrior protecting humanity was so interesting I didn't notice how bad the rest of the movie was the first time i watched it.

As someone who loves bad action movies in a vaguely Victorian setting, I couldnt agree more with this being a perfect film.

This movie made me realise that movies can suck. It was the biggest character development I had concerning art appreciation.

I think the biggest joke is this channel not having 10 million subscribers. I love you Filmento.

When I read "I, Frankestein" and "Film Perfection" together in a Filmento's video, I instantly knew it was an April's Fools video.

Shelling for Raid Shadow Legends on April Fools, and making it authentic so no one can tell if it's a joke or not. Everyone has to forgive you by chalking the sponsorship up to a joke, while you get the bag. Genius. 10/10

I have never watched I Frankenstein but literally feel like I got the superior viewing experience right here in less than 18 mins. Make us the sequel Filmento, you have the power to reanimate it.

I can confirm everything you said, I managed to see this movie a while back and my interest and knowledge about movies skyrocketed. Also I was able to learn many things about the filmmaking process and I could easily make an Oscar worthy movie if had the budget

For me, this movie is a guilty pleasure. I love it regardless of the issues it can have

in all seriousness I did enjoy three small things about this movie: -Aaron Eckert played a good anti-hero. One line that stood out was when he killed a gargoyle and the guy said "God will damn you for this", to which Frankie boy stoicly replied "He already has". The delivery was solid, I liked it. -The concept: Frankenstein's monster (who was actually portrayed as more faithful to the original novel than typical movies) being forced to live hundreds of years as an outcast and is secretly killing demons is a pretty cool idea for a movie -Lastly they incorporated Kali martial arts/stick fighting which is something I've wanted to see in a lot of action movies, but sadly it's not as prevalent. So props to them for that. It's still not a movie I can easily sit through, but those parts I unironically did like

One of my fondest memories from my school days is a friend of mine getting on the bus after having seen this film the night before and launching into a summary of it, where he tore into it's every flaw. The next day I persuaded my dad to rent the DVD (yes, I'm that old) and the film was every bit as glorious as I had expected.

Aaron Eckhart also starred in Battle: Los Angeles which was a pretty underrated war movie that doesn't get enough credit. I was being sarcastic.

Someone give Filmento an Oscar. Which award? All of them.

that moment you know you have been with this channel so long when: - you forgot the date - you've never seen this movie - you see the title - ah, it's that day again

I have always defended this movie. I "like it". It is just so weird and creative in all the most absurd ways. Good or bad, someone has to be really creative to come up with such a bizarre combination of characters and ideas.

So far, this is the best April's Fools joke I've seen today. Keep rolling Filmento!

April fools aside, it’s a perfect movie 👌👌

I know I saw this movie in theaters, but absolutely nothing in this video looks familiar. It's such a masterpiece that it wiped my memory of it so I can enjoy it for the first time over and over.

I like to watch I, Frankenstein and Showgirls on days I’m feeling especially shitty. The absurdity always cheers me up.

You know, the true dark universe for me could’ve been this movie and Dracula Untold with Luke Evans. Like when I first watched both, even if there wasn’t a connection I felt like a crossover movie with the two would’ve been great

Movie finally getting the attention it deserves.

My favourite thing about this movie that I wrote an essay for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein's anniversary comparing it and this movie. For a Romantic Literature class at a prestigious university.

I actually Lowkey like this movie, I know this is an April fool's joke but I think I Frankenstein is in a so bad it's good category for me.

I see the joke Filmento as I am a long time fan of your channel.

4:59 There is another great lesson here about consistency in world building. You see, the filmmakers figured that almost nobody would want to live in a city where it's always nighttime, so they made sure this is accurately represented in the movie. This also works out later because nobody living there explains how humans don't know about the war.

The soul part I kind of like, if everyone just acted like he had no soul and called him corpse or something to the point he started to believe them, then at the end when the demon tries to take over his body it's a shock to all of the characters who witness it, and a relief to Frank. It could even explain why he likes that woman, maybe she was the only one who treated him like a human being.

I really liked this movie, it reminded of the unpretentious action fantasy movies from the 80s except with way better production values.

Finally, some love for this movie that I've never seen! It's about time someone stood up for this movie! (I don't even know what it's about.) Yes!

Despite this movie’s flaws, I actually enjoyed it.

I remember really enjoying falling asleep to this movie. I'd give it a perfect 5/7

Man April Fool's jokes and pranks are getting so smooth and subtle that are hard to notice and I love it 😂

Almost thought it was a hidden gem until I saw the date.

A nice addition to the FCU (Frankenstein Cinematic Universe). Right up there with Frankenhooker. Two detached thumbs up!

I just watched this on Netflix about a week or so ago while I was in a "f@#× it" kind of mood. Thank you for so eloquently verbalizing my reaction to it. I absolutely love Bill Nighy, but he really needs to read some of these scripts before he signs on.

I am too embarrassed to admit just how many times I have returned to this video in the last 3 months 🧍‍♀️😂 Still one of your best.

Whatever happened to Aaron Eckheart? He was amazing as Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight.

This was glorious. Thank you for finally giving my favorite film of all time the attention is truly deserves. I can die happy now.

This was unironically super informative about bad writing Great video!

This is the masterclass in sarcasm I didn't know I needed...Thank you, Filmento!

This truly is a masterpiece of a flick xD

Oh boy, here we go…

As an aussie, it fills me with such joy* to see so many aussie actors in such a great* film directed by an aussie. * invert the meaning of these words

for a second i was actually ready to be convinced i should give this movie a shot

I’m not comfortable with disclosing how far in to this video I got before I realized what was going on. But I started laughing from that point forward.

On a serious note I would really like to see you do a video on why the Oscars seem to like really bad movies that audiences hate or don’t care about. They get one or two right every year but most are so slow and plotless. One example is Manchester by the Sea. It got nominated for so many things that I had to check it out and was blown away by how boring and ordinary it is. Everyone is unlikeable and the story is slightly depressing but played like an ordinary frustrating Tuesday night.

this movie is so beyond comprehensibly good, it's made for a different species

I can definetely agree with all your points ... what a great movie and blueprint for other great movies

"Start with a bad CGI to lower the audience expectations". Only the best tips.

I’d say after 2 mins I realized what was happening 😂. Honestly you’ve changed how I watch movies. I could never put my finger on why a movie was bad only that it was. I appreciate your humor and detailed explanations.

I saw that movie and literally don't remember a single thing from it. That's how you know it's the best!

You've convinced me, I think this is the greatest movie ever made.

You had me going for several minutes. Well done, you rock!

The only movie that rivals Morbius as a cinematic masterpiece

Watching this video made me think of a different pitch for this movie. Let me know what you guys think: Instead of having an antagonistic relationship with Frankenstein, Adam devleops more of a father-son relationship with him that is showcased in the first 10 minutes. But the local villagers heard about Frankenstein's experiments and went to kill him and his creation. Frankenstein gives Adam his notebook and tells him to protect it, but Adam doesn't want to leave him. Frankenstein then knocks him out or something and sends him away. At this point the villagers catch up with him and sacrifices himself to buy Adam time. Once Adam recovers he is understandably upset and begins mourning, but then Demons see and try to attack him and steal the book. Adam gets kicked around a bit, but is saved by the Gargoyles who were tracking the Demons. A similiar scene like in the movie plays out without the useless exposition and Adam desires to train so he can fight against the Demons. He gets that training, with some timeskip. He has now developed a close relationship with some of the Gargoyles and instead of having the woman doctor be the romantic interest, it can be one of the Gargoyles. They ask him to stay with him and fight for humanity, but Adam has no desire for it. He despises humanity after what they did to his father and instead chooses to live as a nomad, wandering around the world protecting the one thing his father left him. The Demons want the book for the same reason as the movie, but now Adam has it and is actively protecting it while also isolating himself from humanity. Again, no useless voice over exposition. Instead we see the passage of time with just the change in settings. He has returned to the city where the Gargoyles are stationed because they called for him. He arrives to meet up with the Gargoyle love interest, banter and chemistry are exchanged, yadayada. She tells him that the Demons are becoming more bold, being more aggressive taking random humans off the street. Instead of having the Demons call forth some random Demon army, the head Demon is trying to resurrect his overpowered Demon Lord father so that they can destroy the world together. The love interest wants Adam to hand over the book for safekeeping. Adam refuses, but they are ambushed by Demons and Adam is captured. The Gargoyle love interest manages to get the book from him before the Demons captured him. Now, Adam is captured and is being interrogated by the Demons. The Head Demon tries to tempt him by telling him that he can resurect Frankenstein in exchange for the book. Frankenstein feels tempted, after all humanity are who killed his father and he still resents them for it. But before he could come to a decision, he is rescued by the Gargoyles. Unfortunately, they put a tracker on Frankenstein so they could track him and lead them right to the book. Frankenstein meanwhile will have a disagreement with his love interest about why he should care about humanity and why he shouldn't take up the Head Demon's deal. The love interest is meant to not only show a more developed love interest, but also show him the good in humanity. The Demon's attack the stronghold, which is hidden from the rest of the world instead of smack in the middle of the city. Fight breaks out, then the love interest is severely wounded and the Demons manage to acquire the book. Adam decides to join up with the rest of the remaining Gargoyles to take it to the Demon stronghold. Now the Demons are in the city but only because they are using the old equipment of Frankenstein, as well as some modern upgrades, to try to resurrect the Demon Lord. It's important that they recovered everything from Frankenstein's old laboratory for later on. Throughout the movie, we can see the Head Demon is like Adam in that he loves his father and he wants him back. This creates a parallel where the Head Demon is like a dark reflection of Adam. Now the captured people are meant to be a sacrifice; providing the souls necessary for the resurrection. They begin the ritual but are interrupted by the Gargoyles and Adam. A fight ensues, some of the humans are set free, and the Head Demon and Adam square off. The Head Demon once again tempts Adam with the resurrection of Frankenstein, but Adam is not having it. A fight between them happens while the Gargoyles try to stop the ritual. Both of these things are happening at the same time with the Gargoyles taking on the big battle while Adam and the Head Demon have the more intimate battle. The Head Demon starts to win, but before he give the final blow, he becomes distracted by one of the freed humans. They saw how Adam came and saved them from the ritual and when they saw he was in danger, they step in to save him. This momentary distraction provides Adam with recovery he needed to finally take down the Demon. The big bad is down, he says something about getting to see his father again, and the Gargoyles are able to stop the ritual. Adam, in the aftermath, looks through his father's notes from salvage that the Demon's took and saw a letter addressed to him. Saying that he hoped that Adam would become the best of humanity and that he hoped that Adam would be a source of good in the world. Inspired by both this note and his love interest, who recovers from his injuries after having saved Adam earlier, he decides to finally stop hiding away from humanity and become its active protector along with the Gargoyles. And that's it. That is my pitch about a revised I, Frankenstein.

This made me immediately download the movie. You can't skip a lesson in brilliance like this.

😂 that will smith intro killed me

there seriously couldnt be any better release date for this video. perfection.

I'd love to see Filmento take on Conan from 1982! There should be tons to say about that. Funny thing is, my girlfriend loved that movie but didn't like the LOTR trilogy. I guess because Conan is "realistic fantasy".

This masterpiece of a film is truly an inspiration

It took me 5 minutes to realise it was a april fools video

The editing is some of your best, sir

I loved this film, it's up there with Underworld (first two) and Blade in how ridiculously awesome it is. It's made purely for entertainment, like pop music.

The best part of this video is that I imagine the studio execs who screened I,F before the release REALLY thought all this

Never laughed this hard watching a movie analysis video, love your work.

I dont normally like generic action movies like this, but this movie was actually good. I just realized ive seen it a total of THREE times. :O its just. NOT bad, ya know?

I was skeptical at first but you convinced me with very compelling evidence. Instead of being a fun but forgettable urban fantasy movie, this was indeed film perfection. Keeps enlightening us, Filmento. :) Post script: now I have to go watch the movie again to bask in its greatness.

I walked into the theater with low expectations and I was sufficiently entertained by the silliness and action. No regerts

Filmento disguises these videos as satire when he is actually being serious. I've seen thru your 3D chess moves.

I love when Frankenstein goes "It's Frankin Time!" and Franks on all those bad guys

I thought you were actually praising and liked the movie. It took me a minute and 45 seconds before I looked at the calendar. Thankfully you didn't loose your mind

Your humour is sooo good. You deserve more recognition. Editing is top notch as aways

I caught this movie on tv once. I couldve sworn it was just another installment of this movie saga that dealed only in muted blues

I am now strangely willing to watch this pile of hot garbage, because I have a lot of questions. The last Frankenstein movie I watched, and which is a personal favourite of mine, is Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein: Truly one of the greatest movies ever made!

Lol the second I saw that title I genuinely burst out laughing! Great to see that even the brilliant filmento recognizes the greatness of "I, Frankenstein"

I love your humour so much it's insane, every single one of your videos brightenes my life,

Such a great film. Some day I'll watch it.

I might be in the minority but I really liked this movie. I'm rarely offended by movies.

Your form and sense of humor is amazingly precise.

Man, this channel should be 10 times bigger. This is just brillant.

I actually like this movie regardless of it's problems.

I really liked I Frankenstein. Though that was mostly the visuals that got me invested.

This is my favorite of your videos so far - and that’s saying a lot 🧡🧡🧡

The beginning is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a movie review/critique in awhile.

This movie is why I stopped watching movies in 2014. I knew nothing could ever top it. Although, I confess, Rise of Skywalker was tempting. EDIT: Also - of course you should tell the audience info they already know. Repetition legitimizes. Music theory and film theory are exactly the same.

DANG! FINALLY! I'm writing all of this down so I can spend $198 million dollars of Hollywood money for my next perfect movie! SCORE! Thanks Filmento, I was worried I'd have to figure this all out myself.

love your videos dude keep it up!

Finally Filmento speaks truth. All those videos, and finally you manage to get one right. Good on you!

Now its time for *Van Helsing,* that would genuinely fall under a 'good' analysis

Dude this is one of your funniest videos. Laughed so friggin hard. Just epic :D

I knew this would be great, and you did not disappoint. Much like this movie, I'm giving this guide a 1000/10.

Ah, 2014 when studios thought turning everything into a superhero action flick was the future.

I consider I, Frankenstein as one of the best bad movies of the '10s. Such a perfect bad film

Nailed it..Bravo Filmento.

This was hilarious. Your voice is perfection. Also this movie is so hard for me to get immersed in because it was filmed in Melbourne, Australia so seeing the trams and the NGV just made me laugh.

The best part of I Frankenstein is when he said “IT’S FRANKIN TIME!” and Franked all over those guys

The promotion of Raid is the real April Fool.

This is your best and funniest video yet, keep up the great work 👌

This is one of your best/ funniest videos brother 🤣
