Reviews
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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.
rodrig58 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!
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. **
