Creature from the Black Lagoon never looked so good.

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2017)

Here's movie that preaches tolerance. It's a love story between a speechless girl and an aquatic creature. Never mind where will they live.
The movie looks great. Beautifully photographed exquisite sets and an outstanding use of music lift this movie above the crowd.
Thinks go wrong with the movie when Michael Shannon as a way over the top villain, relentlessly starts shooting. The movie goes way off the rails when it begins to deal with God like qualities of the creature. Some scenes are unintentionally funny.
The movie plays well on the big screen and should be seen in a theater. Strong performances and technical achievements will be recognized in the award season. Dive in to this unusual melding of genres.
