A completely innocent, at times screamingly funny movie that’s mostly about an idealized world made of '60s cultural icons, a slicing of reality’s fabric so we might step directly into Zombie’s visions of his past sitting in front of the TV.
For the most part, the comedy in Zombie’s The Munsters is low brow, the vibrantly gaudy locales could pass for displays found inside of a Spirit Halloween store, and the acting rejects subtly like bloodsuckers do garlic, all of which often feel exactly as they are supposed to be. Zombie is an artist that operates on a strange wavelength has likely made his most sincere work to date, fulfilling the brassy exhumation of these weirdos.

No idea why everyone is hating on this, it's a great prequel for what the show is, and the best thing about it is hanging out with these silly, super fun characters. I could watch Herman for hours, though it takes a few minutes for him to fully warm up to you. It's also great that we spend the first half of the movie in the Transylvania world that the Munsters came from.

I'm a little sick and tired of all the undeserved negatively this film is receiving. I actually enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought the blu-ray the day after viewing. The Munsters has a look and style that is visually unprecedented. I truly have never seen anything so vivid and captivating. It's the literal and emotional honorarium to the 60's TV show that I loved so much as a child. How anyone expected anything different than its quirky and corny influence is beyond me. I watched this with my girlfriend and 2 close friends. We were all completely mesmerized and thoroughly entertained the entire time, and there were several moments where we all burst out laughing. It was such a good time! This movie is destined to become a cult classic like many others that initially failed with critics. I can see this becoming a Halloween staple of viewing season after season to come. Being PG it's something EVERYONE can experience together. Thank you Mr. Zombie.

As an extended aesthetic exercise with purposefully cheesy jokes, it might be nice if The Munsters had anything to say, anything at all.
The film is a lot like its hero, Herman Munster: benignly dim-witted, Day-Glo in color, top-heavy with tomfoolery, lumbering in one direction and then the next, always cracking itself up in an innocently aggressive monster-mash way.
The Munsters is a wholesome labor of love that’s probably for the most diehard sitcom fans because for better and worse, Rob Zombie makes the Munsters reboot he wants to see.
Ultimately, The Munsters is not a good movie. But it is great fodder to put on in the background of a Halloween party. It is best when used as a visual asset; something you may only want to catch a couple of minutes of dialogue from, but otherwise, it’s best left as background imagery.
When I watched the trailer of The Munsters, I was disappointed, but I came across a much better movie than I thought. At least it managed to amuse me partly. It can be an enjoyable project for horror comedy and horror history lovers.

One of those “what am I watching ?” and “why am I watching it ?” sort of movies. The 90’s Addams Family movies are so much better. If Rob Zombie was a fan he should have called Tim Burton and asked him if he could make a Munsters movie.
This I was going to say is Batman & Robin like bad but it might actually be worse. Fans of the show, I can’t actually even say will enjoy this since I am a fan of the show…
Jorge Garcia as Floop is at least not phoning it in and it takes awhile to realize he was Hurley in Lost. Though yeah I can’t say this will lead him to bigger and better movies either way.
The movie is like an episode of the show and the end probably would have worked better if it was. For a movie it leads to nothing special or worthwhile.
At least my older brother who loves Adam Sandler movies asked me if there will be more. Actually hoping there will be more lol.
Nope, despite feeling like a pilot episode to a show. Whatever it was, it was supposed to actually be a movie. The Razzies would love this but they seem to snub Netflix movies.

Rob needs to stop casting his wife in every movie.
Also, Munsters is best as a series. Rob should have created a limited series. Oh well....

I didn't expect much from this movie, but I figured with it being helmed by a major Munsters fan that it was in good hands... I was wrong. This movie is an insult to the original series and the original stars of the original series. This movie drags and drags and when they finally get to the iconic house... it ends.
