Entertainment Weekly
To be fair, Eckhart is physically impressive and Bill Nighy and his raised eyebrow do their best in the role of demon leader Naberius. But I, Frankenstein shares something else with it's monster-hero, something much worse than its patchwork nature: The film is distinctly lacking in the soul department. - 50
The A.V. Club
If the film is made with the understanding that campiness needs to be straight-faced to be funny, then are its “unintentional” laughs really that unintentional? - 40
New York Daily News
At the very least, it does provide an easy excuse to sit in a heated room eating popcorn. - 38
ReelViews
Sadly, as apt as comparisons to "Underworld" might seem, I, Frankenstein can't even clear that very low bar. - 30
Village Voice
It doesn't come close to working, but it's sweet that they tried. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Director/screenwriter Stuart Beattie, adapting the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux, employs a strictly humorless, gothic approach to the material that makes one long for the satirical touches of James Whale, let alone Mel Brooks. - 30
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Eckhart plays Frankenstein’s monster in a monotonous, teeth-gritting mode, as if someone had one gun on him and another on his family. - 25
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The humorless, generic, and chatty Frankenstein served up here makes you wonder if the good doctor, in all his patching-together of parts, didn’t forget the brains.
