Not bad although I wasn't stuck on Sting's performance as Dr. Frankenstein. He wasn't nearly brash or bold enough for a man with a God complex. Jennifer Beals was ok as The Bride although I found her inexplicably creepy. 

I thought the much better sub-plot was the adventures of Victor the monster excellently played by Clancy Brown and his diminutive friend Rinaldo the circus midget. Their steadfast friendship in a cruel world was uplifting.

Cary Ewles makes an appearance as the prissy, pretty boy like he has in so many other movies. I was so glad to see him cut off his own leg in Saw.

This is a below average foray into the Frankenstein world as far as I'm concerned.

I enjoyed this movie, even if it is bad. You can see, that the movie was supposed be more than it is. I think it mainly failed because of direction. A lot of the film has decent acting and decent direction. But then again comes a scene, where both acting and direction are horribly bad.
This was my first contact with the character "Captain America". I always thought it was a totally ridiculous character and could not understand why they are doing a new movie with him. But this movie hints that he could be an interesting character. I think the actor who played him did a good job.
Other actors who have small roles: Ned Beatty (Otis from Superman, Ed Connor from Roseanne) as a reporter and best bud of the president. Bill Mumy (Lennier from Babylon 5) as the young version of General Fleming.

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Guest Stars:
Mark Hamill as The Trickster
Joyce Hyser as Megan
Vito D'Ambrosio as Bellows
Biff Manard as Murphy
Mike Genovese as Lt. Warren Garfield

My Thoughts:
Another one of my favorite episodes. This one is just plain hilarious. It is loaded with laughs. Mark Hamill was a trip as The Trickster. I especially had to laugh at The Flash trying to run on a floor full of marbles.

My Rating:
