Don't listen to the negative reviews

While I still consider Blazing Saddles to be funnier, this is a damn funny movie. The cast is simply great and while some jokes fall flat, the look and timing of the rest carries this to heights of hilarity. Just a really funny movie that holds up to successive viewings.

Despite some Mel Brooks's bad movie this one deserve a proper respect, Gene Wilder quite often is funny,but he needs a partner,in this case Marty Feldman is indubitable a prefect choice,all star casting is fantastic,each little roles has their exactly significance to developing the picture,well done productions on little details in black and white backing memories from previous and old Universal's Frankenstein...the picture survived over time!!!Resume: First watch: 1987 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD Rating: 7.5

Every time I watch this film, it takes me back to a time when modern comedy was just being established. Mel Brooks took this well-known story and built a light-hearted series of references and stereotypes to form a fun and exciting tale that had only been shown as dark before. By introducing this new type of comedy in this era, it opened up a massive surge of the same types of comedy that we see in films today. This type of comedy will not be lost in a sea of current affairs or social culture, but a culture on its own that lies in all of the direction of Mel Brooks.

After "Blazin' Saddles", Mel Brooks has taken parody to a whole new meaning. In "Young Frankenstein", Gene Wilder plays the decedent of the infamous mad scientist who lives in America, and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. After being haggled by a student, a visitor from the old country gives him information left by his uncle. When he goes to Transylvania, the hilarity ensures. He meets Igor(Marty Ingles), along with some other weird characters. I was laughing non- stop. I also liked when after they built the monster(Peter Boyle), the scene with the blind hermit(Gene Hackman) was classic. I laughed the hardest when it came to the lighting of the cigar. The monster got his thumb of fire. In the story, fire is the monster's weakness. With all the characters from the Shelley's novel, this movie is more funny than scary. Mel Brooks topped himself off with this. And it's a keeper. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
