Looks way to suave to portray a monster.

::: spoiler spoiler

I knew Frankenstein is not the name of the monster, though he kind of is the real monster for making it.

Frankenstein is consistently suave actually. The original novel got him at basically Byron level of panache which would've been a lot for pretty much any adaptation. The real monstrocity of Christopher Lee having a bad hair day right before he found his mojo with Dracula. He looks like a Doctor Who villain from some lost early 60s episodes.

first, the book has been published for over 200 years. I'm sure the spoiler is unwarranted.

second, you state the whole premise of the story as if it was your opinion. that's weird.

I said it that way because the common trope is about Frankenstein not being the monster, but the doctor.

The real monster that Shelly saw was the industrial progress and the hubris of man, which is personified by the doctor.
