I much prefer Bride too. The first film is quite good but there's something lacking in it. Maybe it's because having read the book I can see a lot of the deficiencies of the adaptation. Whereas Bride is free from the same shackles that constrained the first film. It flows better, the performances are better, and Whale has a lot more freedom to explore the themes without having to worry about the Production Code censorship.
