Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Byron & Shelley
The first time I saw this movie, I loved the way that fantasy and reality collide; how Frankenstein monster changes the lives of the Byron and Shelley. I love the characters mainly because of their flaws, mainly Byron's debauchery and Shelley's insecurities.
The photography is beautiful and the actors make a good job.
Rating: - Much than what this movie is known for.
This movie is based on actual historical events revolving around four individuals in the early 1800's, in several European locations. Three of the four main characters are famous British writers or poets. The main character in the movie is Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. Mary Shelley had a life plagued with the loss of loved ones. The movie follows a portion of her life and highlights the loss of those that are close to her. The deaths she is surrounded by are brought to light through ... Read More
Rating: - Hisotrically Inaccurate But Highly Entertaining
There are three movies that focus on the life and times of Mary Shelley which I have seen to date. They are Rowing With The Wind, Haunted Summer, and Gothic.

Rating: - I actually enjoyed it.
I bought this DVD out of sheer curiosity. The write-up on its cover shamelessly and ridiculously exploits the "Sexy Hugh Grant and seductive Elizabeth Hurley" thing, attempting to ride the coattails of their later fame more than fifteen years after it was filmed. It cheapens the movie, in my opinion, and was half the reason I popped it into the DVD player not really expecting much. I was truly surprised, though, to find myself enjoying the humor and, most of all, intrigued and even moved by the story. ... Read More
Rating: - I thought it was good.....mysterious....
I didn't watch from beginning to end...rather came in after it began and no telling how much I missed....yet I liked it enough to scout out what it was. The monster made it somewhat spooky and mysterious and that grabbed my attention. Guess I don't know why so many don't like it.....I'd like to see it in its entirety, not for Hugh Grant...but to better understand the story.
