I believe now that the fish man saves her. Not the other way around. She was an evolved fish. The meeting was not really random because the fish man was a god. Great film.

In what has now become known as his most gifted craft, Guillermo del Toro shares another facet of his fantastic ability to intertwine modern cinema with classic storytelling to create a mesmerizing picture that seems both warmly familiar and yet excitingly unique all at once. His tale is carefully articulated, molded with incredible performances from a perfectly cast ensemble, and ultimately delivers a love tale that transcends our cinema standards without the need for overbearing technologic reliance or cheapened screenwriting. This is a film that explores the art of the mise en scène in a glistening new lens, leaving us bewildered and stricken by its shape and form. Few could ever hope to capture the strangeness of such a love story and succeed as magnificently, but here we see Del Toro at his best, and with that we see pure, unfaltering beauty.

Essential cinema, an instant classic in my eyes. 20 years from now everyone will be saying you need to watch this (all those top 100 films before you die kinda thing!). The cinematography alone will keep this film beating for years to come. Go watch this!

Did not enjoy any of this movie! It should have been called “ Sea Creature” The whole premise was RIDICULOUS !!!

Beautifully done - beautifully acted - it has the strange del toro edge which i am not always fond of, but he softened it a bit for this movie and it worked. Excellent cast and effects

Some of Del Toro's best directing. Only issue is Eliza and The Amphibian Man's relationship felt a little one-sided, and I needed more of a personality from him. But the more they give him, the more risk of him becoming a stock/cliched character, so I understand they were cautious about that.
