One of the stupidest movies I've ever seen! (Spoilers galore!)

I agree with your points but still enjoyed the movie. I even had a quibble with Strickland able to go to Zelda's house from the quarry, then Eliza's, having never been to either (at least not that I recall). Maybe an award for CGI but thirteen noms is a bit much.

You ignorant, ignorant sunsabitches...firstly, they decided to kill it only after having realized that they couldn't take successful X-rays thanks to the thickness of the creature's cartilage. They needed to resort to an autopsy instead.
BOOM!

Also, people who rate a movie a 1 out of 10 on IMDB because "was really boring guys!" or "thought it was a little pretentious" is an absolute jackfaced ass. Ones should be reserved for like...stuff that's so absolutely offensive or abhorrent...movies that are so damn bad that the level of acting/directing etc surprised you, as you didn't know people were capable of doing it so poorly.

But no, you just didn't like it, for whatever reason and nothing but a 1 will suffice because you're like...really unsatisfied, damnit, there was just way too much wasted potential here, guys. Plus you're an entitled narcissistic douchebag.

That being said...yeah this movie was pretty bad, huh? Lol especially for as many accolades as it seemed to have got. I really didn't realize how bad it was until reading this thread...because yeah its a fantasy and therefore you just kind of go along with it, right? But at the end of the day...there really wasn't a whole lot to it. Like another person mentioned, I too was just kind of waiting for it to be over, and that's about the worst thing you can say about a movie IMO.

But in its defense, I can see how she'd fall in love with the creature, being a lonely mute and all...except it also ate her damn cat. And she was like...aww mutants will be mutants or whatever and then had sex with it. Goddang...yeah that was a little hard to swallow, fantasy or not. Just how much of an animal it was.

Was it just me or did she seem to get a lot more attractive as the movie went on though? Shannon was kind of right, I think...about her muteness being sexy. She was kind of sexy.

The film has an obvious political/social agenda. Notice how the heterosexual white males are all racist, sexist, and disgusting people. The strange sex scene between Strickland and his wife reinforces this perception. Heterosexuality is revolting in its banality. No doubt the filmmaker was making a statement about "toxic masculinity," the latest feminist boogeyman. Our fish-fucking hero shudders at the thought of being with one of these toxic white dudes. She would rather sleep with the fishes than conform to a society dominated by the white man.

I agree with op.

Also, its very unrealistic how she decides to socialize with the creature without being scared, and even give him eggs, after he almost killed a man.


The romance seems pretty forced and hasty. It wasn't credible. I never got involved in them, and i didn't care that much about the couple
