Top notch screenplay with a delivery that creates something original vs. a cheesy spoof. It still holds up decades later.
One of the best comedies of all time, still holds up (like of Brook's films).
Very funny parody of the Frankenstein series, enjoyable from start to finish regardless of your familiarity with the source material
Hilarious Mel Brooks movie. An instant Halloween classic and must watch.
Absolutely bonkers but a boatload of belly laughs, especially in the second half. It might not be everyone's cup of tea though. 8/10
Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks are too powerful a pair. It isn’t fair to the rest of us.
Equal parts parody and homage, this Mel Brooks spoof is a classic with great gags and a stand out performance by Gene Wilder.
One of the best comedies ever made. Wilder as a performer and co-writer brought a sincerity that compliments Brooks’ zaniness well.
I didn’t love it as much as expected, but when the humor hits it hits
A creative parody of Frankenstein 1930. A funny comedy that sometimes laughs out loud and sometimes not so much but is worth watching.
