My Review-
Even though I did not like the first one, I enjoyed this more. The only thing that I see wrong with this movie is the title of it. The bride does not show up until the last 10 minutes of the movie, another thing that I really liked about the first movie was that it immediately takes place after the events of the first movie. Some things that worked for this movie that would have not worked for the first one, was that they talked about the original story of Frankenstein with someone playing the role of the author of Mary Shelly which I liked, because she was continuing the story of the movie by telling to two people wanting to hear it. For never seeing this movie before, and it being made in 1937, it still holds up after all these years as an entertaining movie. In the movie there were some really annoying characters that I thought did not need to be in the movie. It makes me want to watch some more old horror movies that are like this one, and not the ones today. For me I think that it could also work as a silent movie, but once again Karloff made the movie what it was, and how he went from being the monster, to starting to realize that some but not all people can be trusted, and that he should have stayed the monster he was then being something that he wasn't.
