"I, Frankenstein" is guilty of the usual critical follies, whether it be stupid dialogue, weak acting, a flimsy plot, awkward pacing or unreliable special effects. But its greatest sin is that even though it contains a non-stop onslaught of action and visual effects, it's just not very fun.
"The Invisible Man" really surprised me. It was daring and bold, dealing with a chilling subject matter that plays out as a black comedy. It completely goes against the grain, but retains the class and respectability that accompanies these older films.
