mister m I saw a scene from this movie in "It Came from Hollywood" in 1982 but could never find the movie or even its title until tonight... 41 years later! So awesome to finally meet Dr. Nadir and The Princess and get to see it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 1.25 hours ever of science fiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The only things that make seeing "Frankenstein meets the Space Monster" (Alternate Title: "Mars Invades Puerto Rico") is the movie marks the film debut of veteran character actor (and longtime Pathmark supermarket spokesperson.) the late James Karen and an amusing appearance by Bruce Glover. There is just too many things wrong with this movie for me to recommend it. First is the title itself. I believe the studio itself thought that by putting the word "Frankenstein" in the title it would attract a larger audience. With the exception of the late James Karen the acting is way below par. Marylin Hanold is not too bad as the lead villain Princess Marcuzan, but overall the cast is not very good. The extras are especially bad. The basic story has a major flaw with it. An atomic war on Mars has killed every woman on the planet so the Martians have come to Earth to kidnap all of the women their space ship can carry and take them to Mars to ensure their race survives. If all of the Martian women have died in the war, how did the Princess survive? The movie never answers that. Also the titular Space Monster is just plan goofy. Just a man in an unconvincing costume flailing his arms around. Goofy and cornball movies can be fun and entertaining (Just watch any Ed Wood movie.) but "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster" is neither. Don't bother with this movie. It is not worth your time.

This movie has really aged well. Many sci-fi fans that see this movie for the first time will know what I'm talking about. I saw this 1965 movie for the first time in 2006 and loved it. I guess this one fits into the category "so bad it's great." But I consider this a damn good effort, especially considering the budget. The movie is tons of laughs. The alien invaders have an Uncle Fester-looking adviser to a hot-looking queen, who looks kind of like Barbara Steele. They come invading Earth and run into a cyborg ("Frank") built by the good old USA to explore space. This movie even has a helicopter air assault in vintage transport choppers! AWESOME! They had to send the Army to help the cyborg defeat the bat-people aliens and their weapon of last resort - a fanged monster that the aliens themselves can barely control!!!!! This movie has EVERYTHING and any fan of classic sci-fi and 60's bikini party horror should really love it. 3 1/2 stars 12-28-13 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
