 I would like to spare you 93 minutes of boredom and deja vu.

 It doesn’t seem like anything new (and indeed it isn’t), it doesn’t seem like anything interesting (and indeed it isn’t), it doesn’t seem like anything worth talking about (and indeed it isn’t).

I, Frankenstein offers nothing new or interesting, delivering a dull and predictable story about the creature Adam battling good vs. evil. The screenplay, visuals, and effects are mediocre at best. The reviewer advises sparing 93 minutes to avoid boredom. Overall, the film is a forgettable fantasy action piece. Avoid wasting your time—read this review before watching I, Frankenstein.

 A team of seasoned musicians interested in spreading the word of good music but in a more personal way, smoothly overlooking the poetic aspect which had defined the sound of a band that managed to be unique as long as Jim Morrison embodied the role of sole declaimer.

 With the definitive dissolution of that spiritual essence... one of the four sides that had made the musical geometry of a band perfect... was missing.

Following Jim Morrison's death, The Doors continued with new members and released 'Full Circle.' The album mixes rock, soul, psychedelia, and jazz, but lacks the poetic essence Morrison brought.
