BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Sam Panico Omehow, the monster has survived and a new expedition - oh hey, there's Lucas again - captures the Gill-man and brings him to the Ocean Harbor Oceanarium - thank SeaWorld - in Florida, where Professor Clete Ferguson (John Agar, Shirley Temple's first husband, who appeared in tons of science fiction films along with many appearances alongside John Wayne) and ichthyology student Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson, who reprised the role in 2005's The Naked Monster). Of course, Helen and Clete fall in love. Of course, the Gill-man falls for her, too.The Gill-man eventually escapes, but he can't stop thinking about Helen, even abducting her from a party. Clete and the police chase him down and, as is customary, gun our amphibian antagonist down. A slave to love, trapped until the end!Despite being the screen debut of Clint Eastwood (in a blink and you'll miss him appearance as a lab technician who misplaces a rat) and being shot in 3-D, Revenge of the Creature isn't quite as good as the original. But it made the most money of the three, so that led to 1956's The Creature Walks Among Us.

Ian (Flash Review)The story picks up some time after the original with the objective of locating and capturing the creature to use as a tourist attraction. Once again the expedition team has no fear about swimming in the waters, which adds excitement early on. Haha. Once captured, they bring it back and place it in an aquarium for display. The creature's strength and newfound lust for the human woman proves too much for the restraints; much like King Kong. And the chase to capture resumes again but in a populated area. Fun classic monster movie that is better than the original I'd say as the story had a little more meat to it.

Eric Stevenson This seems like it was one of the least awful films ever shown on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". It helps that it's a direct sequel to a pretty well known movie. The first part of this when them catching the creature is actually pretty good. It does a nice job of setting up the rest of the story. It's even a pretty realistic approach as to what we would see a creature like this do. It is still a pretty pointless sequel with not much going on. The last part is where it really falls apart.It's mostly because it makes little sense within its own context. The creature goes out into the ocean and then attacks people for no reason. It was said that it wanted to go back to the Amazon, so why is it still attacking people? Is the poor guy just confused? It's at least nice to see all those sea animals. Not a PETA guy, but everyone keeps complaining about how they're being tortured. I'm glad I was able to recognize Clint Eastwood. In fact, I was glad he was the focus in at least one scene. It's not much, but it's worth looking into. The makeup effects are pretty good for its day. **

GL84 Having been captured in his in his Amazonian home, the Gill Man is placed on display at a Florida water-park and tries to escape with the female scientist attempting to study him as a new love interest.On the whole this one was a highly enjoyable and even superior sequel effort. One of the better elements here is the improved action on display, as this one has some overall impressive and exciting scenes here, among the best starting immediately with the capture in the Amazon. From the diving suit encounter which is a fun, savage underwater brawl to the eventual escape, this goes along nicely with the capture method that gets really fun. Likewise, further enjoyable action scenes come from the transport into the observatory tank where it goes after the carriers which requires all sorts of outside help to put an end to the situation as well as the lengthy scenes of the two attempting to train it underwater which comes off very nicely with the creatures' best interests at heart. Still, the best scenes here are from the final half with its escape from the facility and rampage across the park and the large-scale chase for the finale as he manages to capture her forcing a rather enjoyable manhunt by the police along the swampy marshlands in a series of thrilling encounters that really get this one ending on a high note. These high-quality action scenes carrying this along so well that there's a relentless pace here that keeps this going along quite nicely even with the clichéd elements here of the scientist romance burgeoning alongside the creature's romance with her, so even these breeze by quite nicely here. Sa well, the carry-overs from the previous effort of having absolutely gorgeous underwater scenes of the creature both in his native habitat and at the institute that captures it's regal beauty quite well and a fantastic costume for the creature are featured, all of these more than enough to hold this off from its small flaws. While the romance angles here come off rather nicely, there's little reason why the creature here falls for the girl beyond the fact that she's there. She doesn't display a lot of kindness that would warrant that kind of affection back and seems to be there merely as an obstacle to overcome. Lastly, the 3D gags here are atrocious and stick out quite obviously for the hokey-nature they appear in here. Otherwise, this one was quite fun and even better than the original.Today's Rating/PG: Mild Violence.
