Mind Numbingly Boring Drivel

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2018)

I didn't watch The Shape of Water in theatre and finally gave in to curiosity and watched on demand. This was one of the worst movies I've watched in years and a waste of my time to watch. Perhaps SOW is what now passes for artistic movies. Unfortunately, it seems to ignore what many movie lovers want - an even slightly believable plot. The concept of "willing suspension of disbelief" is thrown out the window and replaced with a plot and characters that was just plain silly and unbelievable.
The only part of the movie I enjoyed was when for a moment it appeared that most of the major characters were dead at the end. Artistically, they died at the opening credits.
Once upon a time movies were made by studios that wanted to make a product that their customers wanted to see - an entertaining movie/story. Now, apparently movies are made by so called artist, who want to push their "art" onto the rest of us, regardless of whether it's entertaining or not.
If this is what now wins "Best Picture" in the Oscars, we're in for a long dry spell. I give this mind numbingly boring crap 1 star out of 10.
