In some ways it was- but in most ways it wasn't.
It took its main ideas from Shelley's novel and then produced the most basic presentation of them possible. Most of this had to do with budget/studio restrictions, but anything that wasn't taken directly from Shelley's book was some kind of simplification of it.
So if we're speaking in terms of sheer for-the-screen originality, I've gotta go with Tarantino's mothership.
