Many regard it as the be-all and end-all classic of the Universal years, but watching it again recently I find it pales in comparison with the original
Frankenstein (and many other Universal films to be honest). The last 15 mins are brilliant but the humour descends into pure daftness and seems completely out of place. The air of menace from the first film is totally missing and even the murder of Hans during the monster's revivial, which should have been a powerful moment, is completely invalidated by the appearance of the incredibly irritating Una O'Connor.
Herecy I know but still......
