After watching Frankenstein and Dracula, this one is far above them.
"Is it interesting?" This one kept my interest for quite a while, though the editing was a major flaw.
2 out of 3.
"Is it memorable?" If I think of classic monster movies, I will think of this one. Especially the story.
2 out of 3.
"Is it entertaining?" That is the biggest problem. We have a great bad guy with a recognizable motivation, but out protagonists bumble along. The characters aren't evenly represented. I knew who was going to win or lose and stopped caring why. Just was waiting to find out how.
1 out of 3
Start with 1, 1+2+2+1=6
It might be a while but would watch again. Would also mention it to others, but let them judge how good it was. It's not for everyone.
