Movie Reviews of The Bride
Movie Review: A Love Story.
Summary: 5 Stars
The film begins in the lab of Baron Von Frankenstein. However, the bride created is a beautiful, young woman.
The man created earlier by Baron Frankenstein only shows a hint of being a man-creation in the first scene when his stitches have not yet healed. However, by the second scene the man-creation is all healed up, and is just a big, strong, child-like, man, who fits in fine with the public.
Baron Frankenstein decides to keep the beautiful young, woman-creation for himself, and so drives the man-creation away. The man-creation has interesting adventures on the road, making fast-friends with a wise, dwarf. The wise, dwarf needs the man-creation's physical-strength and protection, and man-creation needs the dwarf's wisdom. They join forces and join the circus.
Baron Frankenstein educates the young, woman-creation with the hope of making her his bride in years to come; but she has a mind of her own.
Filmed on location in a castle and countryside of Europe. Beautiful music. Beautiful costumes and fanciful sets in the style of Hammer films.
Well into the film; you think there could not possibly be a good love-story here, but a good, love-story does surprisingly, emerge later, and a story of true friendship.
Plenty of bad-guys to be overcome. I liked this movie more, because I watched it free on Hulu.
Movie Review: What a pleasant surprise...!
Summary: 5 Stars
First and last, this has got to be the ultimate love story, complete with conflict and great supporting characters, etc. Though the characters of Mary Shelley are suggested, this is in no way a horror film. The lush, gorgeous music of Maurice Jarre lets you know this right from the start. I'll not blab away the plot, except to say that the separate adventures of the bride and the "monster" are paralleled cleverly by director Franc Roddam. Sting was good, as was Jennifer Beals. Clancy Brown as Viktor (the monster) had wonderfully realized sense of moral character, suspicious of kindness; grateful for friendship. His friendship is found in the person of Rinaldo, wonderfully played by David Rappaport. There's adventure, loss, renewal and a darn good story to go along with it. As in Mary Slelley's tale, there is goodness and evil. Here, it's approached in a refreshing new way. This has a more satisfying ending. I only bought this film because I love Geraldine Page. Her natural brilliance isn't given much of a challenge. "The Bride" came out in 1985, the same year Ms. Page gave her Oscar winning performance in "The Trip to Bountiful".Any moment of Page is worth it. A pity she left this world in 1986. Aside from that, "The Bride" is worth consideration. This really is a great date movie...Movie Review: I love this version.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite version of Frankenstein. It's not very true to the book but it is still a great film. Don't confuse this with the original Bride of Frankenstein, this is more like what would have happened after The Bride of Frankenstein or if Dr. Frankenstein had followed through on making a mate for his creature. It can act as a quasi-sequel to any version of the Frankenstein story.
It's a very sympathetic story toward the monster as well as towards the rights of women. It has a kind of hammer horror quality to it, which I always feel gives a movie a Gothic charm, rather like Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Also Sting makes for a very alluring, attractive and somewhat similar version of Dr. Frankenstein.
