Mihai Toma In a dark place, where evil rules and every evil scientist has his own loyal hunchback servant (all called Igor), Igor, the main character is a bit different. He's a brilliant inventor, secretly working on numerous inventions which one day, hopefully, will make him famous. His big break comes out of nowhere, when his master is killed during a failed experiment. He decides to try to make what no evil scientist has done before: create life! That's where Eva comes is. Igor's lovely creation, opposite to what he wanted to achieve (an evil monster), is going to change his perspective on good and evil irreversibly.It's an interesting idea, although a bit simplistic, which unfortunately doesn't evolve in complexity during the film. It ends as easy as it started, with a very expected happy ending, no fuss and no tension whatsoever. It lacked intensity, it lacked drama, it lacked something very important, soul. Its animations aren't very good either. Although having a different way of creating its characters attracted my attention, its voice acting was horrible and some of the visual effects which were meant to impress, were far from something great.I tried to like it, with its ups and downs but it didn't work. Another average movie which will not be remembered soon, at least not by me.

Chrysanthepop It's a shame that this little film did not receive the deserved acclaim. Anthony Leondis's 'Igor' may not tell a story that is completely original but it's a nice and fun adaptation of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. It has all the ingredients of an amusing adventurous animation film. The atmosphere and colour created by the vivacious animation draws the viewer and the colourful characters keep one involved. The actors that include Steve Buscemi, John Cusack, Molly Shannon, Sean Hayes, John Cleese and Jennifer Coolidge, behind the voices of the characters do a remarkable job. Coolidge is particularly hilarious with her weirdly funny accent as Heidi. Writer Chris McKenna does a very good job in adapting the story and making it lighter in order for it to appeal to children as well. However, I must add that the film is targeted at the young adult audience than children because many of the jokes are for 'grown-ups'. That does not mean that children will have less fun. Even though McKenna has made some big changes from the original, the heart of the story pretty remains the same even though this one ends on a more positive note with a different message. However, perhaps as a result, the story sometimes lacked in depth and a few little things remained unexplored. Yet, this flaw is very minor and doesn't ruin 'Igor' from being wholesome family entertainment.

friedsquirrel17 Igor only wants to invent and be renowned as a great evil scientist. But what he doesn't know is that he is part of greater system that has set his plans in motion. What makes this film great is that it makes you think. Many -isms play a key role in the story such as naturalism: Does the hump on Igor's back keep him from reaching the goal that others try to prevent or is it the hump that makes his goals possible? Or maybe Existentialism: How does Igor's free will make him into a hero or is it just naturalism and the odds were not stacked high enough? However these -isms undermine the story because although the viewer knows this movie is about Igor's dreams and what he will do to make realized, what they don't know is that these dreams were created by a puppet master. The question now is, "how does Igor play a role in this?" This high level thinking keeps IGOR from being a simple plot driven movie because there are actually many plots. I didn't give this a 10 because I think happy endings are cliché.

shishir sharma This movie is way better than many animated movies released in 2008,this movie is imaginative ,creative and intelligent but sadly thrown in to the garbage by many critics , sometimes i don't understand why was this movie panned ,while other undeserving movies like bolt was a huge hit which was not at all funny ,had weak plot and i kind of found it to be poorly directed.Igor is a film which is funny has intelligent dialogues and doesn't lose it's track till the end. i would say suggest to people to buy the DVD take a bucket of popcorn ,and enjoy this delightful movie.i give this movie 7\10
