The Shape Of Water Movie Review

So I'm a little late to this one but, here I am, finally reviewing The Shape of Water. I wanted to see this movie when it came out, and if you know me you know I really wanted to go and see this movie. The real question is, is it good though?
First off I want to say that the design of the creature was truly, visually amazing. I don't think it's any secret that they took inspiration from Creature of the Black Lagoon. The overall design of the amphibian man was spectacular.
Another thing I liked was the color scheme of the movie, there was a constant theme of green throughout the entire film. So for this type of movie I would say that was a perfect choice, and I probably would have done the same.
The music in this movie is done pretty well, but it's not that memorable. I don't think I heard any horns in the score now that I think about it.
Now onto the acting of the film. It was... decent for the most part, but I couldn't feel like all of the actors were giving it there all. The story was alright but it wasn't executed to it's full potential. So with the acting it was a bit of a let down.
Would I watch this movie again? Maybe if it was for free on tv. I could be completely wrong on this one, but I'm just not feeling it. What did you think of the movie? Tell me in the comments.
Is this movie worth a watch at least once? Yeah, yeah I think you should watch this movie at least once if you haven't seen it yet. Part of me wants to rate this movie a 3 but on some of the technical notes in this film, I feel like that would not do it justice. So, I think that I just might have to rate it a little higher.


final score: 3.2/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
