Army of Frankensteins

Within the first few minutes we can see the less stellar caliber of acting and production. Nearly everything is made for ironic purpose, either it's intentional or not. There's so much exaggerated premise and clumsy delivery, it's hard to take the movie seriously and even as parody it can barely register any response, aside from a few chuckles when the film delivers terribly out of place scenes where you can't help but slightly grin.

The plot is a jumbled mix or time travel and a bunch of sci-fi gimmicks, none of these really fascinate. Actors are often cringe-worthy in their performance, although the lead may be funny since he looks adequately like a normal guy. Characters are variety of unsuitable personalities with jarring costume and hairdo, or just simply over the top misinterpretation of the era. Even it plays with historic and scientific backdrop, the film has no accuracy in either aspect. I guess it's a tad optimistic to hope for those.

It will get worse towards latter half, if one can make it pass an hour of characters waddling on a random field and tons of gibberish. The effect is abysmal, literal green screen mess. It has slightly lengthier runtime than most movies but there's really not much it has to offer. You might find some amusement, but it's recommended to invest time elsewhere.

I didn't give this a one because I finished watching it. This is one of those movies where you ask yourself, are people this dumb. The things the characters do is well you wish you can reach into the screen and slap one of them. I enjoy monster movies and time traveling but this didn't do it for me. The acting is lousy and I have to mention I am glad it was a free movie. I would have been upset had I been the one to pay for it. A movie you can watch if it comes on free TV in a late late late movie. I really do not know what else to say here because I need to write more lines. There really is not much else to write about without giving movie dialogues. I basically already wrote the obvious. It is a lousy movie and watch it when you have nothing else to do but don't buy it A civil war with Frankenstein's.

I went into this movie expecting it to follow so many others that have tried to take this road recently... cheap special effects, poor -everything... but I was pleasantly surprised. While it is obvious that this is a low budget movie most of the choices made were conservative. They didn't overuse cgi, and they didn't have idiots as the main characters. The story was rediculous but the execution was a decent attempt. They even pulled off having a kid as one of the main characters, without having it deter from the main plot. I thought it dragged a little in the third act, but the humor was higher quality than I expected, and the practical effects saved them from being lumped in with those other monster movies being made right now. If you like b-horror, definitely give this one a try!

I'm not gonna waste your time with the standard review of how laughably bad this movie is, but the costume person should have done a better job with the facial hair, it's the funniest part of the movie.

If you stumbled across Army Of Frankenstein's and are expecting something like Schindler's List you are going to be disappointed. However, if you take into account for what this is (a ridiculous low budget C grade horror flick), you should get some enjoyment out of this. A mad scientist experiment goes awry when a bunch of Frankenstein like creatures and everyone in the room get transported back in time to The Civil War. Army Of Frankenstein's is campy, gory and action packed cheesy fun that plays it loose with history. The acting is not great, but if it was I would have probably enjoyed it less. For a movie like this, to be entertained is all you can ask for. Some movies fail to do that. If you don't believe me, try watching Trump Vs The Illuminati. Let me know how that works out for you.
