Best movie ever!

A different way of telling a story

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Buoyed by Gene Wilder's wonderful performance and Mel Brooks' extatic direction. Young Frankensteinstein is a comedic and fantastical film classic. At first I didn't see the big deal, I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan and I personally got more laughs out of Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs, but I realized this is not only a parody of Frankenstein, it's also a sweet omage and loveletter to the original that could've only been made by Brooks and Wilder. This is also one of the best cast films I've ever seen from Feldman to Leachman to Boyle to Garr. If you're a fan of comedy and classic monster films give this classic a watch.

Yeah that part...wasn't funny. which is a shame because the rest of the movie is hilarious.

Its a nice parody movie with quite a few good jokes. I think its hard to make these parody movies without being incredibly cheesy and this one does it well. It sometimes gets boring when its staying true to the story cuz we all know it. Gene Wilder is obviously good. Its about the great grandson of Dr. Frankenstein who is also a scientist. He goes to that castle where it all happened and tries to do reanimation again.

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.
