[Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/young_frankenstein/reviews) ## Critics Reviews View More Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 10/05/2024 5/5 The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome and pays loving homage to the original Universal monster movies of the 1930s. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10/03/2024 5/5 In some ways it can now be considered not as satire or spoof, but a continuation of the Frankenstein genre, a connoisseur development or theme-variation not so far removed from the Hammer or Warhol riffs. Go to Full Review Paul D. Zimmerman Newsweek 02/10/2022 This black-and-white parody of the Karloff classic is the most cinematically assured, coherent and (relatively speaking) tasteful of Brooks's films. Go to Full Review Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk Sep 18 9/10 As an homage to black and white gothic horror, and specifically the 1931 original, this film hits dead center on target. However, a resulting downside is that the pacing matches the slow and measured progression of its source material. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 06/30/2024 4/4 Mel Brooks’ best film -- indeed, it’s one of the greatest comedies ever made. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 09/22/2023 Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder create something that has never been repeated in the legion of movie spoofs that followed: a real movie with dynamic characters, a story that stands on its own, and a touching undercurrent of pathos amidst the parody.

[Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/young_frankenstein/reviews) Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 10/05/2024 5/5 The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome and pays loving homage to the original Universal monster movies of the 1930s. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10/03/2024 5/5 In some ways it can now be considered not as satire or spoof, but a continuation of the Frankenstein genre, a connoisseur development or theme-variation not so far removed from the Hammer or Warhol riffs. Go to Full Review Paul D. Zimmerman Newsweek 02/10/2022 This black-and-white parody of the Karloff classic is the most cinematically assured, coherent and (relatively speaking) tasteful of Brooks's films. Go to Full Review Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk Sep 18 9/10 As an homage to black and white gothic horror, and specifically the 1931 original, this film hits dead center on target. However, a resulting downside is that the pacing matches the slow and measured progression of its source material. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 06/30/2024 4/4 Mel Brooks’ best film -- indeed, it’s one of the greatest comedies ever made. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 09/22/2023 Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder create something that has never been repeated in the legion of movie spoofs that followed: a real movie with dynamic characters, a story that stands on its own, and a touching undercurrent of pathos amidst the parody.

The whole theater laughed out loud. Leo B Sep 28 Classic Brooks comedy Melissa Sep 28 One of the best films of all time. Levi J @Lev77 Mar 31 Amazing comedy classic with great performances\! Mattie L. @DastardlyMattieLee Mar 21 To me, there is no finer cinematic comedy than Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks and company play every joke, no matter how minor, to maximum effect. Gene Wilder is cast perfectly as the unhinged doctor and Marty Feldman and Cloris Leachman practically steal the show as his servants.
