The Worst Film Ever

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Jack Arnold was very prolific in science-fiction horror. But, unfortunately, not even one masterpiece, only dozen films. And this "Revenge of the Creature" is no exception. The actors strived, they gave their strength but the story was bankrupt at birth, everything is awkward. Clint Eastwood as Jennings, uncredited, in his first film. Just another Hollywood nonsense!

I actually like this second film a little better than the first 1954 film, 'Creature from the Black Lagoon'. To me, the characters are a little better developed and a bit more likable in 'Revenge'. (It' just a matter of personal preference).My heart went out to Gill-man in both films, but this second film I felt more pity for him. He just wanted to be left alone in the amazon but they captured him and brought him to an aquarium where he can became an attraction and to be studied. They are better equipped in this second film to "study" him but their form of "study" is too much for the poor creature and he escapes the aquarium.This film is a bit creepy, lots of underwater action where you fear for the lives of the humans yet pity the Gill-man at the same time. A good sequel.9/10

This is one of the best monster movies ever. It is a sequel to creature from the black lagoon. And this is very scary. It has great acting. It also has a great story line. If you like really scary movie then you need to see this movie. It is scarier then Creature from the black lagoon. And Creature from the black lagoon is very scary. The Creature walks among us is a little better. The monster squad is little better. Still this is one of the scariest movie made before 1956. This movie is old. But like a lot of old horror movies it does not feel old. All the Creature from the black lagoon movie are are must sees. The creature is captured and put in a water park. He escapes and goes no a rampage. Very scary.

. . . from my granny's original review of a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, which appeared in the Spinal Column in the 1950s, and which I tweaked and reposted here yesterday, after viewing CFBL for the first time and finding that I agreed with her about the potential wasting of a prime tourist attraction on the part of the expedition team of the original Gill Man flick. In this first sequel, Gill Man soon is captured and turned into another roadside attraction. If I have a bone to pick with the sequel, it has to do with Florida's geography vis a vis the plot of this movie. Toward the end, when the as yet UNNAMED Gill Man (which is strange in itself, since the first things zoos do when they get a new animal is to give it a name; granny told me Gill Man looks like a Dobie Gillis-type) escapes his chains at the "oceanarium," he swims for a few minutes trailing Helen on day five of his freedom. By dark they're in Jacksonville, FL, hundreds of miles from the implied site of the oceanarium. How is it that Gill Man is so much faster than Michael Phelps? Is he on steroids or something? Plus, did the Devonian Period really just end 250,000 years ago, as one of the scientists here says early on? Obviously, if this movie were released today, the Creationists would be picketing in the street. But anytime they put my hometown on the big screen, I'm rating the flick as at least a "7," even if it is something like PIRANHA GIRLS GONE WILD 3DD.
