Did anyone at Warner Bro. watch this film before releasing??

Nothing in this gaggle of ideas made any sense or kept anyone watching interested in continuing to the end. I can honestly say that the only thing keeping me from dozing off was the repeated loud volume (which was turned up to eleven) breaking through, at times, in the near empty theater.I feel sure that if someone at Warner Bros. Had viewed the film they would have alerted management that this was a mistake and punishment to the viewing public.After 90 minutes into the film we were so confused by the stories that it was useless to continue. Such a poor movie that even if there was good moments one could never recall because of all the confusing moments.Stay home and watch Andy Griffith you will be more highly entertained.

A mix of good weird and bad weird

Weirdness in movies is completely subjective. Sometimes I find a movie so weird and I love it. It's my kind of weird. The weirdness makes it memorable (examples, The Substance and Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die).Other times I strongly dislike the weirdness, especially if it's seemingly there for no reason. It feels pretentious (Die My Love, Poor things). The Bride! Has both kinds. So it was a mixed bag for me.The performances from both leads are amazing. It's great to see the GOAT actor Christian Bale back on screen. He plays the role so well. I never knew I needed Christian Bale-enstein in my life. And the musical score in this movie is fantastic. In some parts, like the opening title card, it's epic.Things that brought it down for me include the song and dance numbers. It made it feel like a musical. And the inclusion of Mary Shelley as a character feels strange and unnecessary. I also couldn't understand large portions of the dialogue, due to some combination of strong accents and sound mixing.I didn't mind seeing this, especially in IMAX with the loud speakers and expanded aspect ratio. I just wish I liked it more.(1 viewing, opening Thursday IMAX 3/5/2026)
