Hopefully you find things you do like. I know those that have seen the Shape of Water have generally been very positive about it for a lot of reasons.

I don't know who compared it ot the Creature from the Black Lagoon but that's certainly not the direction to go with it. The Hellboy reference is an easy one since it's the same director and he really liked working with that design.

I can't wait to revisit it when it hits Blu-ray soon.

Critics Consensus: The Shape of Water finds Guillermo del Toro at his visually distinctive best -- and matched by an emotionally absorbing story brought to life by a stellar Sally Hawkins performance.
