4/10
Another missed opportunity...
24 May 2010
Warning: Spoilers
While it's far from the worst of the movies the two luchadores co-starred in, SANTO AND BLUE DEMON VS. DR. FRANKENSTEIN may very well have been one of the most disappointing. The potential for a true classic of the genre was there; all the ingredients but one: a decent script (the downfall of far too many of these movies). Santo and/or Blue Demon grappling with Frankenstein's monster- what fan wouldn't want to see THAT...? Unfortunately, grappling (of any kind, with anyone) is kept to a minimum here and the Herculean black Golem simply lumbers around looking big and menacing. If any of the Santo/Blue Demon movies deserves to be remade, it's this one- hands down.
