	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Utterly witless, listless, sparkless and senseless."	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Director/screenwriter Stuart Beattie (...) employs a strictly humorless, gothic approach to the material that makes one long for the satirical touches of James Whale, let alone Mel Brooks."	NEG
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"There are some clean, comic-book compositions and neat architectural interlacing, but the blinkered screenplay and indifferent performances fail to lift the eschatology and self-searching off the page."	NEU
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"To be fair, Eckhart is physically impressive (...) 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."	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"At the very least, it does provide an easy excuse to sit in a heated room eating popcorn. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
