Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Eddie Cantillo Revenge of The Creature (1955) Starring: John Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Nestor Paiva, Grandon Rhodes, Dave Willock, Robert Williams, Charles Cane, Clint Eastwood, and Brett Halsey Directed By: Jack Arnold Review Hello kiddies your pal the Crypt-Critic here, now here's an amazing creature feature sequel, probably even so good we'll need to get revenge on Hollywood for not making enough of these types of movies. In this sequel the creature from the black lagoon is captured by scientists and transported to an aquarium in Florida. Professor Clete Ferguson has opted to help the aquarium keep a hold of Gillman while studying the creature. Helping him is Helen who is a college student also looking to study the creature. The Creature is obviously attracted to Helen and one day grabs her and breaks out and unleashes his rage upon the land in the name of love. I just really enjoy this film its a lot more fun for me. This film was made to capitalize on the success of the original film. Its the same kind of fun creature feature sequel you would come to expect out of this monster. The gillman has more screen time which is cool it's always expected to see more of the monster or killer in sequels. The acting is quite good, acting was a lot different then but that's just cause time was different either way for what it was it was amazing. This film is one of the best sequels and would be the forefront (I believe in many horror sequels) I'm giving Revenge of The Creature a five out of five.
capone666 Revenge of the CreatureThe reason you don't see Gill-men in the ocean anymore is because of plastic grocery bags.Thankfully, this horror movie occurs before those choking hazards were invented.Sedated and removed from his natural habitat, Gil-Man née The Creature from the Black Lagoon (Tom Hennesy) awakens from sedation to find himself at Marineland.In captivating, he's abused and put on display by his new handler (John Bromfield). A psychologist (John Agar) and an ichthyologist, Helen (Lori Nelson), study him in the off-hours.When he escapes, Gil-man exacts his revenge on his cruel captor and kidnaps his new crush, Helen.An animal rights analogy disguised as a drive-in B-Movie, this 3-D sequel doesn't have the same production values as the landmark original, but it does deliver an impactful message on animal captivity and its deadly repercussions.Incidentally, the best way to kill a Gil-Man is to drag it ashore for a selfie.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Creature's Revenge, 1955. Determined scientists travel back up the Amazon to capture the creature from the famed Black Lagoon. Once found and stunned by dynamite, the fish-man is transported to Florida Marineland for revival, exhibition and study. The gill-man strongly objects to captivity. He is jabbed with an underwater electric cattle prod to attempt to train him to be docile, but he escapes the aquarium into the local area. The gill-man tracks down and abducts a beautiful lady aquarium scientist, which sets authorities to pursue both.*Special Stars- Ricou Browning, John Agar, Lori Nelson, John Bromfield, Clint Eastwood.*Theme- It not nice to torture Mother Nature.*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W. Universal films. Clint Eastwood's first on screen role as a comic-relief 'lab assistant'. The final and last of the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' film series. Shot at 'Marineland of Florida', sister theme park to SoCals' "Marineland of the Pacific' (now long close and torn down).*Emotion- Fairly good sequel of "Creature From the Black Lagoon" has the Rita II traveling back to the Amazon Basin to retrieve the creature for more research.*Based on- Prehistoric and missing-link evolution myths.
Scott LeBrun The deadly Gill Man returns in this sequel where a change in venue really doesn't do it any favours. It's just not quite the same without the Amazon setting; as a result, the overwhelming atmosphere and sense of mystery of the original are nowhere to be found here.That's not to say that the basic story is bad. It's a logical enough extension of the story of the original in which the Gill Man is successfully captured and brought to Florida's Ocean Harbor oceanarium. While he's on display he's subjected to various experiments (it would be pretty hard not to feel some sympathy for the poor beast) while the "beauty and the beast" theme is continued and the creature fixates on a lovely young scientist named Helen (Lori Nelson).The always likable John Agar is the lead here, and does his usual solid job. A good supporting cast includes John Bromfield as the macho Joe Hayes and Nestor Paiva, reprising his role of Lucas from the first film. Nelson is fine eye candy, even if she won't make anybody forget Julie Adams. A very young Clint Eastwood makes his first (uncredited) screen appearance as a none too bright lab assistant who misplaces a rat.The main problem with "Revenge of the Creature" is the fact that by the very nature of its tale it suffers from the Showing The Monster Too Much syndrome. Still, as mentioned, seeing what the creature is subjected to here will certainly strike a chord with the audience. You wish that humanity would have just left him the hell alone.The underwater photography is still wonderful, and there are some very effective moments, such as Agar and Nelson having a carefree swim not knowing just how close the creature is. Director Jack Arnold, also returning from "Creature from the Black Lagoon", does his usual capable job.While not in the same league as its predecessor, this is still watchable enough, if slow and talky at times. No matter what, it's always fun to see the Gill Man do his thing, so fans of the Universal-International product of the 1950s should be adequately entertained.Seven out of 10.
