Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Surprising and fine Mary Shelley's Frankenstein adaptation,fresh and touching...the plot is the same in opening scenes,but changes when the Monster meets a Dwarf...this is actually the main character of the movie,he gave a name,he teaching how to share,he gets a job....aftermath raise a strong friendship as brothers,and they gets some money working together in the Circus in a dangerous acting....and fatal too caused by a greedy and jealous man...After made your revenge Viktor is back to meets your Bride following your heart as said by Rinaldo...one's most best adaptation to the screen of this fantastic novel and strangely underrated by IMDb's users...perhaps Sting could be a reason...

Claudio Carvalho After the creation of his creature (Clancy Brown), Dr. Frankenstein (Sting) researches and creates a perfect woman, Eva (Jennifer Beals), to be the mate of the creature. However, the anxiety of the creature creates havoc in the laboratory that is burnt down and explodes, killing Frankenstein's assistants Dr. Zahlus (Quentin Crisp) and Paulus (Timothy Spall). Dr. Frankenstein believes the creature died too but he flees to the woods. Soon he meets and befriends the dwarf Rinaldo (David Rappaport), who gives a name to him, Viktor, and invites him to work in a circus in Budapest. Meanwhile Frankenstein and his house keeper Mrs. Baumann (Geraldine Page) teach Eva how to behave and to be independent. One day, Frankenstein introduces Eva to the high-society, telling that she was found amnesic in the woods and has become his protégée. But Frankenstein becomes obsessed of Eva while Viktor and she have a strange connection. What will happen to Eva? "The Bride" is a different version of Frankenstein story by Mary Shelley. The film is actually a romance that begins slow paced but well resolved in the end. Clancy Brown has an outstanding performance in the role of the naive creature. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Prometida" ("The Promised One")

The_Film_Cricket Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" was the first true horror novel, a brilliant mixture of 18th century hautiness slammed headlong into the unwise act of playing God. The style mingled with the horror were the key and without them you have . . . well, you have The Bride.The Bride is a labored, snooze-inducing effort to turn The Bride of Frankenstein into a sympathetic Merchant/Ivory-esqe production and style it up to sell to the MTV crowd. The problem is that it isn't any more interesting then what you had for dinner last night.The movie takes place sometime after Dr. Frankenstein (Sting) has forgotten that his creature (played here by Clancy Brown) threw a child into the lake and thus has pulled his electrodes out of mothballs. Why? Because his creature is starting to feel the itch for some female companionship.Then the creature gets upset that the process is taking too long and destroys the lab just as his bride is beginning to wiggle. Not realizing that Dr. Love Connection has just completed building Jennifer Beals, the creature runs away and hangs around with a circus midget (David Rappaport).Completely forgetting that his creature might come back at any given moment to reclaim his bride, the Absent Minded Professor decides to claim this little philly for himself and names her Eve. He's made lots of vast improvements over Version 1.0 including removing all of her stitches without a single scar. He tries to teach her the ways of 19th century etiquette, fashion, fine dining and social graces in scenes that will likely bore you into a coma.The scenes between the creature and Rinaldo the midget are kind of touching (in a petting a bullfrog sort of way) as the two make off with the circus and become bosom buddies. Rinaldo even gives the creature a name - Viktor. How ironic.Then Viktor suddenly remembers that he was about to get a bride. This comes as a shock when we discover - now get this - they are linked, psychically. Ooooooooooookay!! This leads to the inevitable as Viktor returns to claim his bride and one thing leads to another and I can't remember the end of the film because I kept falling asleep.What it boils down to is MTV does Gothic horror. It is made in the style of a music video stretched on for 120 minutes and it's agony getting through them. The movie is like dinner with your least interesting relatives.Don't stop by this castle, there's no life here.

michellemurmurs6244 This version of Mary Shelley's famous story has often been heavily criticized surprisingly. Actually I find it a refreshing and imaginative effort. It concerns the efforts of Baron Charles Frankenstein (Sting) to create, control and ultimately to conquer the perfect woman. After an electrifying creation scene the baron's first male creation comes to claim his counterpart but disaster results and he runs off into the night. After rescuing the raven haired beauty from the flames engulfing his laboratory the baron decides to tell people she was brought to him after being discovered unconscious in the woods. He gives her the name Eva and begins educating her. In the meantime the male creature befriends a dwarf after rescuing him from a group of tormenting schoolboys. The dwarf looks beyond the creature's unusual appearance and sees a man simply longing for friendship and acceptance. He gives him the name Viktor teaches him about life on the road. The two stories intertwine until circumstances bring Viktor back to the Baron's castle to try to win back his "bride". The Baron's creations are played by Jennifer Beals and Clancy Brown. The late Dasvid Rappaport plays the dwarf Rinaldo. If I have any criticisms it's that Sting in his portrayal of the Baron has a constant irritated look on his face and final confrontation between Eva and the Baron could have been better written. Other than that I really enjoyed it.
