Brilliant, if problematic due to the name -- the Bride barely gets ten minutes of screen time. Instead, we get a drinking, smoking monster who is growing up before our eyes. The miniature scenes in the lab must have been stunning in the 1930s (they're not half-bad today). The film does tend to wobble between taking itself too seriously and not seriously enough, but overall it's an enjoyable watch.

The opening sets the stage for melodrama dressed up as a horror movie. The only likable person is the blind hermit.

Generally well made and entertaining film made in the relatively early days of film-making. I would have preferred it without the prologue which really doesn't fit the style and action of the rest of the movie. The only other minor issue is the goofy humour can be a bit too much, again for the flow of the movie.

Between the setup with Mary Shelley, a blind man teaching Frankenstein the joys of smoking, and "even madder scientist" Dr. Praetorius, this is a goofy horror classic for the ages that's still supremely entertaining over 80 years later. Karloff gets a lot more to do, and the script is a lot more focused than that of its predecessor. The best of the Universal monster movies I've (yet) seen.

I always figured this movie would be B-movie cheese. I mean, "Bride of Frankenstein"? Come on. But it was actually pretty good; better than the first movie, in my opinion. Same good acting, cooler cinematography and a less disjointed story. It actually expounds the ending of the first movie, which was needed. This movie's ending was abrupt, though. What's with the huge self-destruct lever? Side note: I'm becoming more of a Dwight Frye fan. I'm thrilled that the monster got to kill him again.

A camp blend of horror, science fiction and comedy, this light-hearted sequel really develops the character of the Monster by affording him a great deal more humanity than before, and this is ably relayed by Karloff, who's exceptional alongside mad scientists Clive and Thesiger. Though the titular Bride looks terrific, it's ultimately rather disappointing how little screen time or personality she's granted.
