cinephile-27690 Bride of Frankenstein, when compared to the original, is not as great. As the sequel though, it is a great movie! It may surprise you though that it takes a full hour for the Bride to be made. And for Disney fans, the Bride is played by Elsa Lancaster, the nanny who quits in Mary Poppins. James Whale was the director, as he was for the original. It was planned for Frankenstein to be released and the sequel to come out the next day, but it took 4 years for Whale to agree to make a sequel(the person who advised him to make it wanted no other director.)It's great in itself, but not as great as the original.

Pumpkin_Man I've been watching all the old Universal monster movies to get read for Halloween. Yesterday, I watched Bride of Frankenstein and it was a lot better than I remembered from the last time I watched it. In my opinion, I think it's better than the original 1931 classic. It continues the story right where the original leaves off without being too repetitive, like most sequels. It really advances the story like the monster meeting a blind man and befriending him. The man teaches the monster how to talk. Meanwhile, a doctor named Pretorius comes to Henry and wants to work with him in creating a mate for the monster. Henry refuses, but Pretorius teams up with the monster and kidnaps Elizabeth to get Henry to do what they want. If you want a good decent old school sequel, you'll love BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN!!!

qmtv I loved the original. This movie sucks! Crappy acting, dialogue, story, sets, music, cinematography, no horror, humor is garbage.Take a look at the sets. Clearly this was all done in the studio. It's just too clear and phony. The dialogue and acting was trash. I hate humor in horror movies. And if it's going to be in there, then limit it. I'd rather watch Young Frankenstein, much better movie. Why the hell is Frankenstein monster speaking? What is that? I must admit, I caught this on public television, Sengoli or whatever his name is, and missed a few sections, but I saw most of the movie. This movie is a failure. Watch the first, an incredible film, and leave it at that. Here are some highlights from the first film: Dr Frankenstein screams "It's Alive", When the monster is seen walking for the first time, When Igor is whipping the monster and you realize who the real monster is, when the father is carrying the dead daughter into town, when the monster is burned at the mill. If you want more, watch the first again, then again. All these and more were captured in the original movie, some by design, some by accident. It's called movie magic. We don't see anything like that in Bride. Do not see this movie. As my title describes it, inferior film making. And definitely do not see the Robert Deniro version, a freaking joke.Long live the original Frankenstein. 10 stars.My rating for Bride, for blasphemy is 0.

nbbaiyuchen A sequel to the film "Frankenstein" this film from director James Whale does a much more adequate job of showing the plight of the monster. In this film, i think "The Bride of Frankenstein" is great, however, I felt like I wanted more of the bride than what was delivered. From the content that we can see Boris Karloff actually improves on his acting from the first and makes you feel for him in every moment throughout this film, and I will say that is the one aspect that was done better, emotion. The character of Frankenstein's Monster has much more to do here, but nobody else seems to be as motivated as he does for finding his mate. In a word, for me, i think this is a great classic film, and the content bring us not only the sensory stimulation, but also there are many reasons of people's life to follow.
