Del Toro has a sublime visual sense, but... yeah, his movies usually leave me cold. Not much of a storyteller, IMO. Pan's Labyrinth was an exception, though, and I'm hopeful that the strength of the material he's adapting here helps pull it across the finish line.

He has a history of great looking monsters.

For sure. I have no doubt that this will be the best looking Frankenstein movie ever made.
