Classic horror brought to you in the best way. This laugh-a-thon in 3D makes you wonder why 3D never lasted, then gives you the answer at the same time. The dialogue is hokey, it seems like every single line is worth a laugh. The sexism throughout is hilarious in hindsight, as it is so blatant and obvious! The same goes for the caricatures of the natives, especially the captain of the boat. All this and I haven't even mentioned the creature! Surprisingly good for its time, the amount of underwater scenes are great. However, Gill-man can't quite seem to swim as graceful as you'd think he would. Oh, the same music that's supposed to strike fear, the helpless girl, the silly antics of the bedridden chum, all the macho posturing! Amazingly, it's all the same music.
