Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy It's impossible to overstate how utterly tedious the central stretch of Revenge of the Creature is. Rated: 4/10 Dec 11, 2016 Full Review Paul Chambers Movie Chambers If I ever watch this film again, I will time the sequences showing the creature swim underwater. Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim. Very repetitive and definitely not scary. Rated: D Oct 26, 2014 Full Review John Gholson Cinematical There's nothing particularly remarkable about it, and it plays out almost exactly how you expect it to, but as a monster matinee, you could do a lot worse. Mar 26, 2014 Full Review Rob Humanick Suite101.com Less than the sum of its maddeningly redundant parts. Rated: 1/5 Oct 16, 2011 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Rated: 0/5 Mar 27, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Blu B So it's kind of like Jaws 3 and Jurassic Park II mixed together with mixed results. Everything is fundamentally ok about it. The music when used is still good but it's the exact same thing we've heard before and the other tracks either are out of place comedic or generic. The creature is still cool and there are some cool udnerwater scenes in the ending. The biggest killer here is the acting especially the two main romantic leads who are just so unremarkably ok. They are so forgettable it's ridiculous. It always inturrupts anything with the creature to further develop the romance between those two and it's so uninteresting and boring. The scenes of the creature in the aquarium aren't as cool as the ones in the Lagoon from the first one either. Overall it feels like once he's in captivity, stuff just sort of happens and really never goes anywhere with anything with the creature until when he breaks out. It basically is an excuse to have him rampage around town which is kind of cool. It's not anywhere near as good as the first but isn't broken or convuluted by any means. There just isn't much here. Skip This. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review NiB Y Very lackluster, boring, and dissappoiting sequel to a legendary movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Andrew L If I had known this was Clint Eastwood's first movie and I only got to see him for a few seconds, I would have wanted revenge too. Besides that little piece of film history and trivia, the whole first half of the film is watching The Gill-Man spend most of the time swimming around in an over-sized fishbowl, which makes no sense. Why wouldn't the government want The Gill-Man in their labs instead of being a side-show attraction? Then , The Gill-Man escapes SeaWorld (figures) and spends most of the time tormenting tourists. Out of the three "Creature-features," this one is by far the worst one. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review CodyZamboni A watchable sequel, but no real suspense. Sequel piles on tons more Gill Man action but gets repetitive really fast. Solid underwater location photography, Lori Nelson is very attractive. The intially scary Gill Man attack theme music lost its' impact due to overuse, Clint Eastwood is onscreen for 30 seconds in a laboratory comedy bit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D The First Black Lagoon movie was a unique and probably the first ever monsterish monster horror movie other than Dracula or Frankenstein. But the other two sequels shouldn't have happened. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Steve D Too much of a retread of the original. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
