Pros: Karloff, Karloff, Karloff!
Cons: Seventy years on now means that it's not very scary.
As a rule, sequels suck. Oh sure, there are the rare exceptions. The Empire Strikes Back< i> is generally regarded as better than Star Wars, The Dark Knight< i> was way better than Batman Begins< i> and so on. But for every Godfather ...

Pros: Karloff, Whale's tough-in-cheek sensibility, the contrasting performance styles
Cons: So much funny, there's no real room for scary.
James Whale was a man before his time. Thirty years before The Munsters and forty years before Mel Brooks did Young Frankenstein, Whale realized something about Dr. Frankenstein's monster — the creature was conceptually scary, but had...

Pros: Blithely grotesque, with stylish direction and exceptional performances
Cons: Silly prologue, cornball humor, and a few unintentionally hysterical moments
Wanted: distinctively turned-out monster searching for ideal mate, something who likes to smoke and drink, is averse to dogs and open flame. Should enjoy running and climbing… James Whale’s “The Bride of Frankenstein”, ...

Pros: The continued exploration of the Monster's character.
Cons: The attempts at humor.
Picking up right where the first movie left off, this is the continuing adventures of Frankenstein and his Monster. In some ways, this movie is even better then the original. There's a lot more time devoted to actually developing the Monster's ...

by Grouch - Top 200, Oct 15 '99
Pros: Karloff again
Cons: The Bride's short screen time
"The monster demands a mate!" screamed the movie posters. Audiences also demanded more of the Gothic horror delights they thrilled to in James Whale’s 1931 "Frankenstein." And so, in 1935, out of the laboratory came the sequel,...
