What happened Del Toro??

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2018)

I am a huge fan of Pan's labyrinth and El Orfanato movies by Del Toro, both were breathtaking with full on melodramatic feelings with a mix of fantasy and horror, that always make you cry in the end.
From the grades this Shape of Water had in imdb, (and apparently there is a bunch of fake reviewers paid by someone lastly on imdb) I was expecting something close to the 2 previous movies, alas...
-The story itself is a huge ''deja vu'' of an alien/monster/ but good that is tracked down by the army and hidden by ''friends''. Taken by Spielberg is a great example.
-The Music: Well while it was perhaps the most affecting factor in the 2 Del Toro movies I mentioned before, that make you cry in the end, in this Shape of Water it's totally weird and non-sense, it's like if Del Toro gave the sound effects and music field of this movie to a 5 years old child!!
-Politics: slightly pro-communist just like in Pan's Labyrinth, you have the bad but also the good guy being communist, perhaps Del Toro forgot that USSR and other communist dictatorships killed millions of innocent civilians? No need to make then ''the good guys'' everytime.
-The end: pathetic! totally null.
Conclusion: if you loved Pan's Labyrinth and El Orfanato, please don't watch this movie, you will hate Del Toro.
