Wasted: Stephanie Vaquer NXT Women's North American Championship First Reign 2025 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Wasted: Stephanie Vaquer NXT Women's North American Championship First Reign 2025 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there will be censored adult language reference.

This booking decision is bull-manure: what I find highly infuriating is that if AEW did this; the vast majority of the wrestling community would be all over them like a rash and yes I am not gaslighting anyone, but just saying it as it is. But yet again because the WWE/NXT do it; it is accepted. But my question is if you are going to back yourself into a corner and then why have Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia for both women's singles championships [NXT North American and NXT Championship,] on top of that why this colossal match up with the stipulations on essentially a glorified TV special such as NXT Roadblock [11/03/2025,] I don't care if it was at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, on reflection this was just a cheap way to get posteriors on seats and people watching, because everyone knows this calibre of match should only really have taken place at NXT Stand & Deliverer 2025 [19/04/2025.]

But on top of that it devalues the NXT Women's North American Championship as Vaquer has relinquished it and I have just realised if AEW were also doing another tournament, they would also get criticised for that as well.

But then again we have known it for years that it is seemingly fine for the WWE or/and anything under the WWE umbrella to do whatever they want whenever they want, but as soon as AEW do anything they like, it is pitchfork time from the wrestling community. I can't stress this enough and quite frankly it urinates me off this booking decision is fudgin' terrible; it is lazy and inexcusable, because what they are saying is; we have gotten ourselves into a situation and let's just go with the narrative that requires the most cheapest of explanations; as her reign was only for 44 days, I mean what was the fudgin' point of that championship reign! If you aren't going to do something special to end it then as I have already said what was the fudgin' point! Let's be honest with one another, you chose thisnarrative so that it keeps Vaquer strong without suffering a loss of some description

I mean how easy would it be to set up a mini feud just to end a few days before Stand & Deliverer where we escalate things to the point where; let's say Fallon Henley confronts Vaquer with the concept of if you beat me, I will never ask for a North American Championship match again as long as you're a champion, but if I win; you will never get a rematch for the North American Championship as long as a member of Fatal Influence is champion; which means if Henley loses it at some point as long as one of the other members are champion Jacy Jayne or Jazmyn Nyx this stipulation/restriction applies for one year: so the NXT be for the Premium Live Event we just have Vaquer doing double duty until then but limit her ring time in her matches: so in theory we are expecting/not expecting her to wrestle twice at this event, but all that will happen is Henley will take the spot as champion on this card as the new NXT North American Champion, so in essence both championships feel prestigious and respected at the same time.

But then again; as long as the WWE/NXT Universe keep clapping like a bunch of seals, that is all what matters is in it?

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/medical/references to the environment

Last Chapter: briefly; Bridget Jones [Renée Zellweger:] is now a mummy of two children and life of the more recent times has been really hard, but luckily she still has her group of friends and one Daniel Cleaver [Hugh Grant:] he hasn't changed much, but something tells me he is going to have to sooner rather than later.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 124 minutes film is; well; I'm not going to lie this film does hit the Bridget Jones cliché's for while [on every single aspect, I just can't list all of those at the top; but all I can do is reassure you there is a lot more to this film than one first impressions; so things to get much, much better, you just have to stick with it really.]

Comedy and art; obviously we now some sexual stuff such as Jones purchasing, well I am just going to go with a lots of sexual based things from a chemist whilst her children's teacher appears behind her Mr. Scott Wallaker [Chiwetel Ejiofor:] he is as I have already said it teacher; of science working at Christ Church Primary School, he is a good man, but somewhat strict with his whistle, he definitely overhears their shopping list as the pharmacist puts these things through the till and later on she has mishap with some dodgy stuff; so she goes to see the children's paediatrician Dr. Rawlings [Emma Thompson:] as you may have guessed she is a paediatrician so this is slightly out of her realm of expertise as she tells Jones, but we have Jones/Zellweger speaking to the Dock about things currently the Dock can understand Jones, but we the viewers get subtitles.

Now without giving too much away Jones and her two children; Billy Jones-Darcy and Mabel Jones-Darcy [Casper Knopf and Mila Jankovic:] two good kids that are going with their mother to send off some balloons; this scene is excellently structured and depicted and later on there is an excellent solo singing number [ in this case there would be a much like saying without giving too much away; but I can say excellently performed nonetheless.]

Character developments and performances; well it finally happened Jones at some point in this film comes-of-age and even Cleaver does a bit as well. Broadly speaking all of the new or/and returning characters either gel as in slot right in with the returning characters/performers or for those returning at heart they are still the same but got older and their good performances of all of the cast; reflect that they want to leave this instalment/interpretation of this franchise in a good place, unfortunately as of this content being first created it has no awards accredited to it; which is a shame because Zellweger deserves an award for/or something to the equivalent of best lead role as Bridget Jones, I will discuss this more momentarily, but she does an excellent job signing off as Jones.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I think after everything is said and done it; it has enough to find itself in this section of my marking system, yes it does take some time to stop doing the standard Jones stuff and yes I am not exactly thrilled by the time jump in the closing stages of this film [in fact in the previous instalment I took a mark off for this.] But the saving grace of this instalment as I have already indicated it is the fact; that Jones comes-of-age in this film; which I have to confess is a very strange concept considering she is in her 50's now and this film explores maturely as we progress forward into this film, so in a nutshell the coming-of-age aspect does so much of the heavy lifting and don't get me wrong she can still be quirky and everything else, but she also has to be in the present times as well, hence why this film finds itself in this bracket of my marking system and there is some extra bits and pieces at the end of this film.

Bridget Jones's Baby 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/childbirth/bodily functions/references to cancer and miscarriage

So yes we are back here again!: Basically; Bridget Jones [Renée Zellweger:] she is now a producer of Hard News and at the age of 34th birthday; she is starting a single life again listening to House of Pain "Jump Around" released 1992 as she tells us by narration what has been happening whilst doing comical dancing; I should give you a friendly heads up the comical moments of this instalment are fleeting at best.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 123 minutes film is incredibly boring, No after roughly 30 minutes I was pretty much done. The script is basically the same kind of thing of will Jones and Mr Mark Darcy, QC [Colin Firth:] he is now a barrister dealing with a big case and possibly Daddy #2; but I digress will they, won't they get back together again? Answer: I don't care; I will discuss more positively and negatively about the character developments later on, but for now I just don't care and something to the effect of one year later in the closing stages of this film is just garbage, so yes absolutely I took mark off for this.

Character developments, comedy and performances; this instalment from this franchise really does need its new blood like Miranda [Sarah Solemani:] a good friend of Joneses and a TV presenter/anchorwoman of Hard News,  Dr. Rawlings [Emma Thompson:] she is doctor that is dealing with Jones' pregnancy and is asked to keep a lie going; these two women have are also executive producers of this film. Jack Qwant [Patrick Dempsey:] he is the creator and businessman of the dating site Qwantify Love and potentially Daddy #1: but also keeps up a false narrative with  Darcy, QC of being a gay couple: yes these are the only moments in this film I found funny, the rest of it; well it is all the same kind of garbage really and because these characters have aged a lot, so how can I put this nicely hell I may as well just to out and say it for an example Jones is meant to be 34 years old in this film, but in reality Zellweger is roughly 46 years old so and  her mind set doesn't match with her physical outlook and to be honest it isn't just her, it is also Sally Phillips as Sharon "Shazzer": now a mummy to some children, don't get me wrong for about roughly a minute later on they talk about things sensibly, you see I don't mind the characters and subsequently performers acting their own age; so they do a solid and good job, but as you can see Jones/Zellweger is becoming a problem, because their ages be it mentally as character or subsequently again performer don't match or they aren't even close if I was to be brutally honest and going through the same circle even though in her defence a little she acknowledge's Darcy, QC doesn't work, then she shoots itself in the foot by bumbling herself through this really important discussion that these two potential daddies need to know. This seems like an excellent time to bring up; based on this instalment I am greatly concerned about them bringing out another instalment entitled; Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025 [13/02/2025.] I fear that they are just going to come out with the same old material, well at this point why would they break a habit of a lifetime? But if they don't at least acknowledge that times are not the same as before, I am just going to find this film incredibly boring as I did with this one; so please make this the final instalment of this franchise, but they probably won't they have to cover the menopause years; no I'm not being a sexist, I am just simply being sarcastic with the knowledge that with speculation that this could be a route they could take and at least then Jones and Zellweger would be collectively in the right age range to perform that role. But then again who knows; this could partly be what the latest film is about anyway, apart from other things as well and won't that be fun; Not!.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; as I have made it abundantly clear I just really did not like this film as it essentially goes over old ground with some elements of new developments and yes there are some ending bits and pieces with photographs in the first section. This film also has some awards to its name such as; 2 Winners [positive and negative awards:] ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2017 ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films Craig Armstrong and Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2017 EDA Special Mention Award Hall of Shame Sharon Maguire Renée Zellweger. 6 Nominees which include but not limited to; European Film Awards 2017 Globe de Cristal Best Foreign Film (Meilleur film étranger) Sharon Maguire and National Film Awards, UK 2017 National Film Award Best Actress Renée Zellwege [I should point out altogether there are 3 Nominees from this award ceremony/event] and Evening Standard British Film Awards 2017 Evening Standard British Film Award Best Supporting Actress Sarah Solemani.

Wrath of the Titans 2012 by AverageMansReviews

Wrath of the Titans 2012 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/stabbing/disintegrating/burning/torture/medical

Here we go again: briefly; the world of persons have given up praying to the Gods of Olympus; so Zeus [Liam Neeson:] still the King of the Gods but things have changed since we were in this universe, goes to talk to one of his sons Perseus [Sam Washington:] now widower and father; Perseus declines to originally aid his father, but is Zeus is betrayed by family, Perseus with now and again Pegasus has no other choice but to do the right thing.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing; well it takes ages to get going in any way shape or form, you know when you have one of those scripts/storylines that just without any great focus just ambled along, well that is what we have here. It just for a heavy amount of this film never really gets going and then for some strange reason it catches the light and then; it is one of those awkward occasions where by the end of the film; in its entirety you are misled to think that was a solidly good film; when you have to remind yourself as it relates to the entire picture that; that is just a part of this sequel and when I say it catches a light I mean it doesn't mean like greased lightning, but things slot into place, which conversely move things with get up and go attitude.

Art and action; the vast majority of the art and/or action; well how can I put this nicely; they didn't look good when it was 2012 and as of this content being first created it is now 2025; they just look so bad from Perseus riding on Pegasus or the Cyclopses; just no thanks. It depends on how long some of you may be creating content, but those experienced ones of you would basically understand; there are essentially three options between good, bad and annoyingly there is some potential; anything around or/and based around Hephaestus [Bill Nighly:] a god or better known as the fallen one; he is the blacksmith to the other gods weapons and also architect; basically in a nutshell if it is made or built; it has probably been made or built by him: the Labyrinth is a good interpretation/representation of what they were going for here, the less I say about what is inside the Labyrinth the better as it was pointless having this version here and later on we get a very small sequence of Zeus and his brother Hades [Ralph Fiennes:] the God of the underworld and heavily responsible for this predicament the world is in right now; but these two brothers battle on the same side this which is obviously good but there is a much of it.

Comedy, character developments and performances; they tried this drop of comedy between Perseus and Pegasus which I don't really have given pointed out, because it sticks out like a sore thumb and it is really the kind of forced buddy; buddy comedy thing, like I said anything around Hephaestus arguing with Archimedes is comedy gold, Nighly took his character developments and made them into a lively performance; it is just highly disappointing that he didn't receive at minimum a positive nomination for his supporting role in this film and to be fair eventually the same can be said for Neeson and/or Fiennes: as in this sequel they give us more time with individually or/and together more time with these characters so that we can understand them and consequently connect with them; with these two brothers going off to put some foot to posterior like they used to when they were much younger; this is also comical. But I really couldn't care less for the chemistry between Perseus and Andromeda [previous film title: Alexa Davalos/this film title: Rosemary Pike:] this Princess turned Queen of Argos but saved Perseus when she was a princess has now got their own hands busy things. But the problem is they chemistry feels so lazy as they showed absolutely no signs of this earlier in previous title so it feels very much shoehorned in which comes off very cheap and tacky, but mine is that broadly speaking including these two performers in their character developments and performances are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be with performances that reflect that also.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; yes I had to remind myself of this entire film, yes absolutely there are some positives to it as you can clearly see/hear, usually I would have given a higher mark, but on remembering how for a heavy amount of the time it just ambled along without any conviction or/and purpose. I mean I watched this sequel like I did with the previous project/title and this individual asked me what was happening in this sequel, because they thought they had missed something and I had to reassure them that; no nothing has actually happened, so it isn't you, it is the sequel including this individual thinks I am rating this sequel too highly, I just put this in because it is interesting to give you a flavour of this sequel. This film also has some awards to its name and no they are not all positive either. 2 Winners that includes but not limited to BMI Film & TV Awards BMI Film Music Award 2012 Film Music Javier Navarrete. 3 Nominees MTV Movie + TV Awards 2013 MTV Movie Award Best Action Sequence and now negatively speaking; Razzie Awards 2013 Razzie Award Worst Supporting Actor Liam Neeson Shared with: Battleship

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/stabbing/cutting/dismemberment/disfigurement/disintegrating/transformation/animal cruelty/burning/biting/drowning/impaling/regeneration/reference to sexual assault

When Argos needs saving there is only one demigod for the job: briefly; Perseus [Baby: Unknown/Younger: Otto Farrant/Older: Sam Washington:] unknown to him to begin with he is a demigod that amongst other characters gets sent on a mission to save this place known as Argos. Be for Hades [Ralph Fiennes:] God of the underworld and Zeus's brother, he wants the Princess of Argos; Andromeda [Alexa Davalos] in some days time [yes I have forgotten the distance of time apologies for that] or he will release the Kraken to destroy Argos.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film is good; the journey aspect of this film is a reliably good part of this film, more or less it may just be the other aspects of this film that many be a limited hit and for large parts meh.

Art, actions and comedy; I can't stand much of the art, correction as I am sitting in thinking about it I can't stand any of it; No really I can't stand any of it. From Zeus [Liam Neeson:] the King of the Gods on Mount Olympus which has grown tiresome of his creations and in his angry frustration he allows this sequence of events to begin and he is the father of Perseus; but I digress: he has this shiny armour effects thing going on or any other bright effects going on with these Gods or/and nothing stands out in part from the really crummy effects on these monsters including but not limited to Medusa; she did nothing for me as it relates to this interpretation/version of her and the action sequences clearly look and felt as if they would just doing their job; okay a solid job but that was about it and to be honest there was only one sequence of action I liked which I will discuss in a little while.

Character developments and performances; well the character developments are straightforward connecting the dots that kind of thing, with performances which likewise were and are a true reflection of them, with the vast majority of this cast not exactly putting too much effort in; now to be more precise the only one that really put the effort in to make his character stand out and be well rounded with his characters; character type and tried to put some comedy like with giving some combat training with a sword to Perseus was; Mads Mikkelsen as Draco: he is the captain of the Royal guard of Argos that accompanies Perseus on his journey. This is one of those occasions where Mikkelsen should have clearly been at minimum nominated for a positive acting award, because anyone that comes out of this title looking good and when you watch or if you come to watch this film you will see; he clearly stands out head and shoulders above everyone else.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; now having said this I should also make it abundantly clear as you can tell and see it does have problems, but the strongest asset to this film is when it doesn't do anything too complicated, which conversely should tell you a lot about this film, but cosmetic side of this project is something I really don't like as you can clearly see, but then again this film got green lit to come out with a sequel just roughly 2 years later; Wrath of the Titans 2012, so you can make of that what you will. This film also has some awards to its name and it shouldn't be any surprise but no not all of them are positive awards. 4 Winners that include but not limited to positive ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2011 ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films Ramin Djawadi and negative Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2011 EDA Special Mention Award Remake That Shouldn't Have Been Made. Nominees 14 positive Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA Saturn Award Best Fantasy Film 2011 and negative which there is a selection, but I will just pick one; Golden Schmoes Awards 2010 Golden Schmoes Biggest Disappointment of the Year.

Average Extra of: Disney Fallout of Snow White 2025 Continues by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Disney Fallout of Snow White 2025 Continues by AverageMansReviews

Related content: Average Extra of: Before I go and see Snow White 2025 Link  https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2025/03/average-extra-of-before-i-go-and-see.html and then Snow White 2025 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2025/03/snow-white-2025-by-averagemansreviews.html

Real Talking Time:

Warning: well let's be completely honest from the very beginning, there will be censored adult language preferences and yes I will be making references to this conflict but not really discussing it as you will see that is not aiming or/and point and I am not a legal expert, but I do know some basic things.

So I have questions: like to begin with the more I look into this situation and the surrounding conflict of Palestine [Rachel Zegler supporter of Palestine] and Israel [Gal Gadot: she is an Israeli that has also served in the IDF: Israel Defence Force and supporter.] So how the fudge from the outset was this going to work? Honestly how? How the fudge was this going to work? Individually both of these individuals have been very outspoken for their support for years, so this is nothing new.

9 times out of 10 it is never good to see someone or a selection of people lose their job, but already I hope someone loses their job for this level of ignorance, how could they not see this as a potential problem or a massive red flag? Because unfortunately as everyone knows Zegler even at the young age of 23 years old has the misguided thinking process that anything she says or does either doesn't have some kind of repercussions or she has a right to say and do these things and if you disagree with her you are wrong.

Including but not limited to completely destroying Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937 every opportunity she got, turning a heavy amount of people off from watching Snow White 2025 and wanting to get paid more for dressing up as Snow White, people voting for Donald Trump and continuing this Free Palestine with her co-star Gadot that yet again let me remind you is an Israeli that has served the country.

If you think I am defending Gadot: you have another thing coming, as far as I can see; she is also partly responsible for the overwhelming failure of this film alongside Disney and Zegler as she stood/sat by Zegler as Zegler was putting the original 1937 under the bus and also their Snow White 2025 film title as well, so by standing/sitting there watching these train wrecks happening Gadot is also partly to blame.

Zegler considering legal action against Disney?: I stress the word considering, because they broke legal obligations to her for an example; Disney cancelled a $10 million event and she was going to apparently do a one off event as Snow White at Disneyland. I am begging for her to bring this case against Disney; do it, go on do it; do it; do it! Because her case/claim is fragile at best, like wafer thin made out of soft toilet paper kind of fragile.

Because if I was a member of her legal team; my first question is; at any point did you bring the project into disrepute? If she was stupid enough to say no, my next question would be so if I was to look online there would be no concrete evidence to suggest otherwise? And then she would have no other choice, but to go well [and as soon as she said well; I would know this case is sunk; as she goes well there was this one time, there was this time and I did say something when I was online about Free Palestine and I just remembered I haven't been professional with my Israeli co-star as well.]

So what you are telling me is; Disney's legal team could very easily countersue? Yes they have broken the conditions of your contract with them, but they did these things as an exercise of damage limitations, they could easily say that by your actions you have cost them millions upon millions; so they could argue and they probably will argue that; you broke the conditions of your contract first, so it is almost irrelevant what action Disney have taken to essentially limit the damage and to try and save whatever financial resources they can. In fact their counter lawsuit if they bring one against you is incredibly much stronger and have a much, much greater chances of success costing you millions upon millions.

Now I should point out; I am not a fan of how Disney have been doing business four years with this social politics and yes I am a subscriber to their Internet service. But in this one case I would really, really like it if they took Zegler down a peg or three, to the point where she would have to work at Hooters. Now don't get me wrong and I am fully aware that this statement is going to split opinions into essentially age ranges; meaning anyone from say the 2000's and onwards is probably going to disagree with me, but everyone else at minimum is going to see where I'm coming from at the very least; for example I have been around content creating for 15 or 16 years at this point; so I earn the right to have a valid opinion. But I am now finding with the younger generations; that have been around for literally a sneeze have this false sense of I have an opinion and I am going to make sure that everyone else hears it and agrees with it or if they disagree with it they are wrong, now I am not saying they can't have an opinion, but when you haven't grafted or earnt your stripes, but you expect people to bow down and allow you to say or do whatever you like without any consequences then; I have a fudgin' problem.

I mean I don't particularly like this idea and I know it would have never happened and on top of that I would have preferred politics to stay out of this project, but I am just saying if we are going to do this or have this; let's do it this way. Why didn't Zegler reach out to Gadot and say; we have a difference of opinions, but how would you like to put a minute advertising commercial together to advertise this film; to basically say; we may be going head-to-head in this film, but we stand together calling for a ceasefire as it relates to the conflict between Palestine and Israel.

I know, I know it sounds really cheesy; but it is much better than the current situation that is happening in the background to this project of them taking shots at one another. But back to Disney and Marvel/under on Disney umbrella had the same problem with Brie Larson some time ago now; in both cases they need to stop hiring entitled people that could do major damage to whatever projects they are a part of; I mean here is a great idea; when you start talking to individuals about appearing in your projects and if you get the feeling of red flags you may want to take the hint, but as far as I am aware Zegler has been benched by Disney, I mean what does that mean? It is like a sports season. She is always going to be this way and she will never change, because she has been allowed to express herself without learning the fine details of how to conduct herself in a professional manner, when she has worked with somebody that has a direct but the opposite opinion to herself; in a nutshell essentially saying for now I need to park my opinions and get on with my job and be professional.

The sooner we get through this time, the sooner we can begin to phase out Zegler hopefully, because if after this entire situation Disney or anyone else hires Zegler; the fault would be theirs as they know what they would be getting into with her; but I would recommend that Disney take the same approach as Marvel did with Larson, because in a nutshell let me put this into words that any business understands; she is a indefinite financial catastrophic high risk.

Young Frankenstein 1974 by AverageMansReviews

Young Frankenstein 1974 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/electrocution/transformation/dismantlement/burning/squashing/animal cruelty/capital punishment/choking/transformation./mechanics

Grandsons like grandfathers: briefly; it is a parody of  Frankenstein:The 1818 novel/it uses the outlay of a sequel: Dr. Frederick Frankenstein [one of the screenplay writers: Gene Wilder:] is a highly skilled scientist that tries so hard to distance himself from his grandfather, pronouncing his last name differently, but after meeting a man, he travels to Transylvanian, where he meets Igor [Marty Feldman:] that is likewise the grandson of the servant of Dr. Frankenstein back in the day; he really pronounces the I in Igor.

Generally speaking: the framework, pacing and comedy of this 105 minutes film is good; as it knows what it wants to do and sticks to the plan; as we move throughout this film from time to time we have the closing circle or a reopening circle depending if we are entering or leaving a scene, it uses an old-style of comedy where timing is everything, so that on one hand it doesn't interrupt the flow of the project in question, but it takes place nonetheless. Such as the usage of a double entendre as it relates these door knockers whilst Dr. Frankenstein is assisting his new assistant Inga [Teri Garr:] she helps him with his experiments; to disembark from this horse and carriage or/and skit/sketch seen in a brief example we have Igor saying  that this violin is still warm, so whomever was playing hasn't gotten too far as this the violin was a freshly made murder scene or a cup of tea, Igor's hump has moved to a different side as Dr. Frankenstein points out with Igor saying no and then at some points we have breaking off the fourth wall when we have characters either indicating or/and saying things directly to the camera. So as you can probably tell the framework and pacing needs to be able to have a general structure but also be allowed to naturally pop in and out of the plot either with making these jokes or breaking the fourth wall, but whatever the case may be it must be able to naturally get on with the storyline.

Art; this film is black and white; it is well presented clean and tidy; you know this film is from the era of filmmaking where they didn't have a lot of money by today's standards [on a little bit of research this film had comfortably under $3 million as its budget;] so that should give you a clear idea of what they were dealing with here. But if or when you take the time to see this title; they did a fantastic job of bringing this story to life; be it the scenery or wardrobe or anything else; everything just contributes to ensure; as is viewers have an immersive experience with what they had to work with at the time.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are either brilliantly eccentric or/and expanded versions of what they are meant to be. As most of you from the 1980's and much older generations would know Wilder is synonymous with enthusiastic/eccentric roles; the characters where in one second he could be calm and relaxed the next minute frustrated, angry and intimidating; but it is the smoothness and natural on how he goes from one to the other and then back again and we see all of this encapsulated in this performance.  Feldman; to be honest I don't know too much about this performer, but when I have more time I will be looking over his filmography, because in the context of this film; he provides the grounding; which also allows him when it is time to do so more of the quick witted bits; like pointing out the violin is still warm. They complement fluently and Garr contributes to this pairing/trio very well indeed; basically this is a well assembled cast that will bring at minimum a little something to the table including Mel Brooks as the other screenplay writer, director and Werewolf/Cat Hit by Dart/voice of Victor Frankenstein.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; I decided to award another mark based on I had the privilege with the person I watched some of this content with to go and see this film at the cinema on its 50th anniversary; and based on my viewing experience if after 50 years you can stand the test of time without any major ageing [let's put the technological advances to one side] with a good-natured horror/comedy then the least I can do is add one more mark. This film also has awards accredited to its name such as 11 Winners that includes Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1976 Golden Scroll Best Supporting Actor Marty Feldman, Best Make-Up William Tuttle and Best Set Decoration Robert De Vestel Dale Hennesy. 8 Nominees that includes Academy Awards, USA 1975 Oscar Best Writing, Screenplay Adapted From Other Material Gene Wilder Mel Brooks and Best Sound Richard Portman Gene S. Cantamessa; Golden Globes, USA 1975 Golden Globe Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Cloris Leachman as Frau Blücher: she is the long-term housekeeper and Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth: initially the girlfriend of Dr. Frankenstein [ Gene Wilder.]
