This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Baron Charles Frankenstein (Sting) and his assistants create Eva (Jennifer Beals) for his monster (Clancy Brown). Eva rejects the monster and he destroys the lab. Frankenstein escapes with Eva. Unbeknowst to him, the monster also escapes and befriends midget Rinaldo. Rinaldo teaches him humanity and gives him the name Viktor. They travel to Budapest and join the circus. Meanwhile, Frankenstein intends to civilize Eva and mold her into his love. He tells everyone that he found her in the woods with memory lost. Captain Josef Schoden (Cary Elwes) is taken with her. She encounters Viktor and the spark is reignited.The movie has little tension. When the story splits in two, the tension fades. Sting is stiff in this and not his best role. Jennifer Beals doesn't deserve her Razzie nomination. Her role requires some odd work from her. This is a bad attempt at reworking the Frankenstein story.

After years of research, the doctor (Sting) finally succeeds in creating the perfect woman, who gets the name "Eva" (Jennifer Beals).Frankstein's full name in the film is Baron Charles Frankenstein, unlike Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein or Universal's Henry Frankenstein. The dwarf in the film is named Rinaldo, also the name of blacklisted Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein screenwriter Frederic I. Rinaldo, who also wrote the scripts for several Universal films, including Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951); Hold That Ghost (1941); The Black Cat (1941) and The Invisible Woman (1940). I like that Rinaldo nod. I was confused why they had to give Frankenstein a new name, but it does make sense later on... though it might have made more sense to stick with Henry if they were going to go off-canon.The film received negative reviews and a Razzie nomination for Beals. I'm not sure why this happened. Yes, Beals is not amazing, and for those who thought she would be huge after "Flashdance", they might be disappointed. But a Razzie? And the film as a whole is an interesting take -- I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it.

This is a sequel to Frankenstein. It is pretty good. It is scary. It has a great story line. It also great acting. It also has great special effects. This one of the best horror movies from the 80's. If it does not scary you no movie will. 5.3 is underrating it. This is a true horror classic. It is kind of a love story. But still it is a very good movie. It is a great monster movie. Doctor Frankenstein his a bad guy. And the monster is a good guy. So it is not quit the traditional Frankenstein movie. Frankenstein (1931) is better. But still this is a good movie. The Bride of Frankenstein is better. This is better then Frankenstein (1910). It a great film.

This was an interesting take on the Frankenstein legend, or the bride as it were. Much better ending than the two I saw later, one featuring Randy Quaid as the creation in a made for television movie and the other featuring Robert DeNiro that made it to the big screen. This one has Sting as the good doctor and he has made this beautiful creation to go along with his other monstrous one. The female seems scared of the first creation and it ends up out on its own for awhile as Dr. Frankenstein tries to put his moves on his latest model. Well the other one meets up with a little person who befriends him and they become quite the team. These are by far the best moments in the film to me as it is nice to see the monster of the film be treated very well by his new buddy. It is sad what happens to him in this movie and in real life. However, this leads to an ending that works a bit better for me than most of the films featuring Frankenstein and his monster. The scenes though with Sting are not all that great and at times the movie seems really boring when it is not focused on Rappaport and the monster. However, overall it is okay.
