Frankenstein 1931

I don't get everyone saying this movie has "aged well" cuz it sure as shit hasn't aged that well for me.

So the whole movie felt like a PowerPoint presentation with them hopping from scene to scene with a cheap fade transition in the middle. It's like the movie has one scene...and then a transition followed by another scene with no flow. THe runtime is 70 minutes and it still took me 2 sittings to watch. Well the modern era of having a shot attention span ain't helping my case much but I don't use TikTok or Instagram so don't come at me. Despite being technically terrible the movie doesn't capitalize in the acting department either, maybe it's the way the movie is shot or structured, there is literally no "life" in any of the characters (no pun intended). Actors try to breath in some life but the dialogue holds them back even further, it feels like they are reciting quotes from a quote book.

Also I don't get why almost all classic movies I've watched up to now has a dramatic romantic situation in the third act. Maybe it's just me who feels that way?
