Andrew A Oct 1, 2024 it was just a fun story that put a smile on my face. See more Keith B @Okbullard Oct 16, 2026 The plot was pretty interesting but the sex stuff was a little over the top. Best picture, hmmm I don't think so. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Sep 20, 2026 Really interesting and cool movie. See more Alejandro R @AleAliAlea Sep 10, 2026 Good movie. A little on the nose. The musical number, other than being terrible, is incredibly on the nose. To all writers and directors, let your audience figure stuff out. See more Declan D @filmbuffkid Sep 9, 2026 Yeah no wonder why this won best picture. Everything about this movie is perfect, the score, the creature design, the acting, the plot, the characters everything about this movie is perfect. I felt like after “Titanic” came out, romance films were steadily declining over the years and I thought going into this that it’s going to be a regular sci-fi film and after watching it.. THIS!! is one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen in my life!!! Guillermo del Toro never misses, almost everything he makes like Gilmore Del Toro’s Pinocchio, Trollhunters and the shape of water are absolute masterpieces. And I’d rather watch a creature and a woman fall in love with each other then watch an entire movie that’s main message is cheating on people *cough* Regretting you *cough*. And the body language in this movie.. “woo i’m gonna make a name for myself here” the main character is perfect and I love that she does ASL to communicate and that is cinema right there. Overall, its chefs kiss. 10/10 See more Johnny R @RT08810596 Sep 2, 2026 This is basically a high production value of the Creature From the Black Lagoon, obviously the story differs. It is only marginally better. The raves about this movie are out of place. This is simply not that good of a movie, it is a mediocre movie. Yeah yeah I know visually stunning, a mediocre movie that is visually stunning is still a mediocre movie. Academy Awards for this? Be serous. There is nothing of note in this movie that warrants all the praise it gets. It is dull, the story is pretty plain with some weirdness thrown in. I can look at movies that win awards even if I don't like them myself and understand why others might like them to that level. This one? This is not that good of a movie from any vantage point and I am baffled by the praise. See more Read all reviews
