Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

christopher-underwood It is clear that everyone had great fun making this film and that it has to be Marty Feldman's finest performance. Gene Wilder, of course, works very hard and has some marvellous moments, particularly in close-up. Some of the broader humour seems less funny to me now than it did originally but there is no denying the splendour of Peter Boyle as 'the creature' or the zoning performance from Madeline kahn, who really seems to make her role out of almost nothing. Biggest problem for me this time around was lack of continuity to the point that some parts of the film appeared little more than a series of sketches. For some reason i was particularly bothered by Wilder's sudden transition from wanting nothing to do with his grandfather to being all enthusiastic. The extras on the Blu-ray disc reveal all. The film was clearly cut down, presumably because considered over long and almost arbitrarily scenes were chopped. I assume it was decided to keep 'the funny bits' in and leave out the exposition, like the crucial reading of the will and its conditions. Personally I would have reduced the police inspector role, which can become somewhat tiresome. Still, I am being ungenerous and even if the film could have been better, it is still good and there is surely something in here for all to enjoy.

Jared Curtis Young Frankenstein is macabre genius. The performances in this movie are odd and brilliant, from the townspeople and constable to Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman (both of whom absolutely steal the show), with really odd, strange, dry-yet goofy humor pushing the story along beautifully. My favorite part of this film is it's premise. The idea of Dr.Frankensteins grandson going mad following in his footsteps is a very original one, and I really enjoyed it. It's also one of the first movies in a long while that I can tell went over my head. Very few of the jokes are delivered in a way where it's obvious that they're jokes, they kind of just fit into the movies overall conversational tone between characters; the best example of this being Igor, whose presence in the movie is absolutely fantastic. The biggest problem for me, and I'm aware that it's a personal problem, is that when a joke is too obvious, I feel like it kind of breaks the tone that was already established, and therefore it doesn't get a laugh out of me. I also feel as if the monster is maybe introduced a tad too late, and I'd like to see more of him in the film as he is very entertaining. However, this is all really negligible. This is the type of spoof movie that all others should try to imitate, subtle and original, and able to stand up on its own without having much prior knowledge of the original, and is entirely worthy of its classic status. 8.8/10

MotoFilm Every time I watch this film, it takes me back to a time when modern comedy was just being established. Mel Brooks took this well-known story and built a light-hearted series of references and stereotypes to form a fun and exciting tale that had only been shown as dark before. By introducing this new type of comedy in this era, it opened up a massive surge of the same types of comedy that we see in films today. This type of comedy will not be lost in a sea of current affairs or social culture, but a culture on its own that lies in all of the direction of Mel Brooks.

tylergee005 I was so excited to see this coming on TCM since I've wanted to watch it for years now. I really do love Mel Brooks and his type of humor, but unfortunately this movie didn't work. I genuinely laughed only at one part, and the rest was really a drag, a bore, a film I actually was not entertained throughout. I wanted to like this film a lot, I thought it could be my new favorite comedy, being with the premise and director and cast and all, but I was let down with this one.
