Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Middling Universal horror fodder, at best. Nov 2, 2014 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers As a kid, I enjoyed this movie much more than I do as an adult. ALL those great Universal monsters in a single film. Even Dracula shows up. But, these days, FMWM seems contrived and dull. Rated: C- Oct 26, 2014 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Pretty much the end of Universal's horror line as a home for even the vaguest kind of serious filmmaking. Rated: 4/10 Oct 29, 2009 Full Review Richard von Busack MetroActive "The last great Universal Frankenstein movie, despite the overstuffed title." Rated: 4/5 Sep 27, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Greg Maki Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) Rated: 3/5 Jan 31, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew L The first Universal Monster Movie Team-Up was one of the best as Lawrence Talbot awakes from a four year slumber in search for a cure. The gypsy Maleva assures Talbot that Doctor Frankenstein can cure him. The story and acting are rock solid unlike most of the other Universal Monster Movie Sequels. Plus as a bonus, Bela Lugosi finally gets an opportunity to play the role he turned down over a decade before this film was made...that of The Frankenstein Monster. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Mary S Oldie but a goodie! You can't compare this movie to now, doesn't have the technology. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The first of the cinematic universe! !! Definitely has issues but it is so much fun !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Evan H great movie with great effects the story could use some work and the fight was amazing this was a great ride. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Steve D Not enough Frankenstein's monster but still fun Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review Jeremiah P Even with some flaws, it’s still one of my favorites.
