Oh... He's so ugly, oh she's so nice and human... oh the bad guys are very evil and scary... oh but love will prevail in the end... How surprising, how original, who would ever have thought of that?

Sometimes I just don't get Hollywood. They take a movie that absolutely nothing new to say, nor to show, and they celebrate it like it's genious, while they totally miss on much better things.

The visual universe is simply a copy-paste from the french movie Amélie Poulain, which was released in 2001.

The story is boring, for we've seen it a thousand times. Guillermo del Toro pats himself on the back like he's a visonnary, good for him. But far from convincing.

In a nutshell, much ado about nothing. I just find it sad that in 2018, such a flat movie gets all that praise. Beauty and the beast dates 1946, and Shape of water is nothing more than an umpteenth flashy remake of it, bringing nothing new to the table.
