along with Barbie which I absolutely found a waste of time! I have not seen Poor Things and won't. A film about a female Frankenstein with a baby brain that LOVES to f**k is NOT my cup of tea... Emma Stone is a good actress, but frankly I thought she had better taste in material.....

"Poor Things" is, on the surface, as TWB describes. But that analysis is like saying that Moby Dick is about a whale. No, Poor Things is about a woman controlled by and defined by men who takes control over her sexuality and then over her life.

You may not like the movie or its message, but clearly it's not a nudie remake of Frankenstein.

    Several people posted their opinions about "Poor Things" apparently without having seen it.
    
    So I guess I can add my opinion about "Oppenheimer" here (because I haven't seen it): It's too long. You can't hear the dialogue. It's funny without being vulgar. Cillian Murphy ran the gamut of emotions from A to B. Emily Blunt isn't as hot as Elsa Lanchester.

      Agree about Oppenheimer, which we did see.
      
      The Elsa Lancaster comment was a Frankensteiny riffette.
      
      Mary Shelly was hotter than Emily Blount, too.

Look up the 1990 low budget horror/comedy "Frankenhooker".
There is more than a passing similarity in the conceptual basis of the two movies.
I am somewhat surprised that the Poor Things "remake" got the critical acclaim it is getting.
