I love the Universal Monsters and the "Gillman" is no exception. The look of the Creature is awesome. I really like the way it gasps like a fish when it is on dry land.

The underwater photography is pretty amazing for the 50s and the transfer of the film to the Blu-Ray format makes it look fantastic.

Unfortunately, the movie is pretty standard 1950's stuff. To be fair, it was one of the first and likely the inspiration for many of the other derivative Sci-Fi/Horror movies it spawned. Actually that makes it harder to defend what are some pretty boring characters and repetitious adventure scenes.

"Creature From the Black Lagoon" is good, but it's not close to equaling amazing Universal output like "Bride of Frankenstein", "The Invisible Man" or "Frankenstein".
