Wait a minute... who am I here?
Oh for sure. Easily my favorite
shareCool.
shareYes.
shareStrangely, I find myself almost agreeing. I love the book and find the film very entertaining, if very flawed and clunky. And while the screaming (you know exactly what I mean) gets a bit weary after a while, I look at this movie as almost a parody of existing Universal Monster movies.
I put this on par with 'Frankenstein', another Universal classic that I adore. I can't decide which I prefer more. Frankenstein is a better film, but I find this one far more entertaining.
I would say Creature From the Black Lagoon is my favorite, but Frankenstein and this constantly bounce around for second place. I would be more inclined to rewatch The Invisible Man over Frankenstein, but both are great films.
I really hope the new one will keep in a similar tone to this one, and not go off into a completely different direction like The Mummy (2017). Not interested in that film much at all...although I'll probably still see it, cause I see way too many movies. :p
It certainly helps that Claude Rains was such an excellent actor.
