As a ghoulish desert to my feast of merdemince pie. Beautifully done, astounding CGI with tons of pyrotechnics--it takes a lot of electrical explosions to bring something back to life. It was a Steampunk Dream set in a grand and glorious Britain. McAvoy was neglecting his medical studies in order to create life. Chuck Dance, his ever stern father, disapproved immensely to the point of cutting off his funds. Poor Radcliffe was rescued from the circus where he was abused and tormented as a pitiful hunchback. McAvoy helped him escape in one of the most elaborate getaway scenes in recent memories. More pyrotechnics.

Weak Tummy Spoiler: Once McAvoy get Radcliffe home he immediately discovers he's not a hunch back but has a gigantic cyst. He attacks it with a huge syringe and primes the drainage like one would siphon gas--complete with mouthful spitting. Ew.

Radcliffe is then renamed as Igor because the real Igor ran off. And so the experiments continue.

Quite a visual spectacle for such a dumbass story.

50/50. A rational man would wait for cable.
