Title: Two Iconic Lead Characters Spend Half the Movie Apart In This Mash-Up That Plays It Too Safe
Product review: From the ridiculous title alone, you'd have thought this classic would be unmissable for lovers of bad movie magic. Alas, and quite surprisingly, the movie lacks some of the lunacy and fun that you might expect. This south of the border epic introduces a renegade James and a maniacal Frankenstein (who is experimenting on poor locals), and then keeps them apart for much of the film's running time. Starting as a fairly routine western, the movie goes seriously off-course with one of the most annoying love stories that you're likely to encounter. A plucky Mexican heroine (who was scandalously killed in real life) whimpers and cringes throughout and yet remains an irresistible love interest for the rough riders. The final confrontations finally elicit viewer interest, but (for my taste) it is all rather tame and uninspired. The title shouldn't be the most interesting thing about your movie! KGHarris, 12/11.
