Movie Reviews of The Bride
Movie Review: A 1980's version of the Bride of Frankenstein
Summary: 4 Stars
Sting is Frankenstein who decides to create a mate for his first monster. There are 2 stories going on at the same time. One is about the woman Frankenstein creates and the other is the fate of his first monster who finds a friend and joins the circus. Frankenstein names his female creation Eva and decides to teach her to be an equal to men. He educates her and spends a lot of time with her as he finds himself in love with her. The movie cuts back and forth from one story to the other. In my opinion the "run away and join the circus" story takes away the intensity of the horror that Frankenstein is all about. The monster, Victor never forgets Eva and dreams of finding her again but is afraid she will reject him as she is so beautiful and he knows he is ugly. As Eva gains confidence and knowledge she begins to hate Frankenstein. She is horrified when she realizes the truth about her origins. They have fight at the end; "You did not create me." She screams and Frankenstein answers, "As a matter of fact, I did." Eva meets Victor at the end.Movie Review: I'm a softy for the 80's cinema....

I will admit after watching the 1930's version of Metropolis, it held more intelligence and a theme, which is stilled used in films today, than "The Bride" could ever claim! But, there is much to be loved in this film. I've always enjoyed STING, with or without The Police, and had grown to enjoy his performance in "DUNE". Jennifer Beals (Flashdance)is as beautiful, sweet,innocent, and dangerous as she could portray. Clancy Brown (Highlander) played Frankenstein, an experiment longing for friendship and normality in his life. And you have to have heart for the "little guy" in the movie! The movie has it all adventure, love, action, and some dead spots! This film is for sentimental value only. If you've a soft spot in your heart for the 80's, it wouldn't hurt to buy this film. Be forewarned: You may only watch it once, but I felt it was worth beefing up my collection of films! VIVA STING! VIVA Jennifer Beals! VIVA Clancy Brown!And VIVA that little guy!!Movie Review: A Great Overlooked Film
Summary: 4 Stars
I was 8 when I saw this for the first time. Of course being a kid some parts frightened me but I also laughed at certain parts when Viktor and Rinaldo were unknowingly getting into trouble. Since I was a kid I didn't pay much attention to the story, just the adventure. As I grew older I became more attached to the characters and their situations. To this day Rinaldo's death is the most heartbreaking and dramatic scene I've ever seen on film. You can't help but to think about someone close in your own life that you've lost when seeing this part. Oscar nods should have been made to David Rappaport and Clancy Brown based on this scene alone. In the end, Viktor does become "human" and redeems himself and his bride. The final battle between Vikor and Dr. Frankenstein then the fairy tale ending make this a film with a healthy dose of action, adventure, sadness and romance. A great film film overall.Movie Review: The Bride

Being interested in Sting, I purchased this movie from 1985. He plays Baron Frankenstein - a cold calculating scientist. The movie has different aspects - the story of Charles Frankenstein and the Bride he creates for his "monster" - and the monster Victor on his travels with Rinaldo, gaining wisdom and insights. I think it is a well balanced movie; well produced; well acted. Sting is good at playing cold and demanding.Movie Review: very enjoyable

I don't expect anything more of a movie than to enjoy it and be entertained. I don't seek to psychoanalyze or offer up in-depth critique, it's only a movie. I either enjoy it or I don't. I like this movie, it's a great rainy day or late night flick. The scenery is beautiful and the horses are magnificent!
