I thought that this was an excellent sequel to the original Frankenstein. The story was very interesting and entertaining, just like the original film. I actually think this film is better than it's predecessor. There were a lot of briliant scenes, I thought the scene in which Frankenstein becomes friends with a blind man who lives alone in the forrest was beautiful. The ending scene was great as well, after Henry Frankenstein and his wife escape from the tower in which he created the monster, the monster destroyes the building and kills everyone in it (including the bride).

The Frankenstein story continues in _The Bride of Frankenstein_. The series gets a little meta as the storyteller joins the story with Mary Shelley revealing a horrifying second chapter to her tale; where Frankenstein’s colleague, Dr. Pretorius, blackmails him into continuing his experiments to create life by making a mate for the Monster. The film does a fairly good job at continuing the story, thought the plot’s a bit thin and there are some continuity issues. But once again the film is able to deliver some iconic and powerful scenes, and continues to address controversial topics. _The Bride of Frankenstein_ is a well-crafted and suspenseful tale of horror that has become a masterpiece.

A classic of the genre. Superb for the time it was made in.

Wow, I don't know about this one. I was recently a little disappointed by my Frankenstein rewatch, and Bride did not address any of the flaws I saw in the original. Indeed, this seems to be the prototype of an IP cash grab that now dominates our modern landscape. A series of implausibilities allows a retcon of the original (turns out, nobody died) and a sequel that hits all the same notes in all the same ways. I was disappointed by this.

Ernest Thesiger is superb in James Whale's sequel to "Frankenstein" as the scientist who has perfected the art of growing rather than harvesting tissue. When he meets up with Baron Frankenstein's original monster they set about coercing the reluctant Baron to create a wife for the lonely Boris Karlo More

What a great old horror movie this is! Actually, there are classic horror elements, but it plays as much more of a tragic comedy.

Karloff as the Monster is incredible. One moment he's raging and frenzied, the next he's calm and caring, even shedding a tear. The scene when a blind man befriends t More

What a strange departure. Where the original _Frankenstein_ was simple but direct, lean and effective and memorable for the right reasons, _Bride of Frankenstein_ is forced, meandering and overproduced.

Disregarding the ending of the initial adventure is a bad way to start, especially when that m More
