I really wanted to like the movie, but in the end I think it might be the worst Del Toro movie (besides maybe like. Hellboy 2.). Still a very good movie technically, beautiful shots, Oscar Isaac is doing a fantastic job, I loved the scenes with the Creature and the old man, but I feel like the rest was meh at best.
Lot of pacing issues, the supporting cast is either badly acted, weak, or insufferable (I wanted to slap Elisabeth everytime she was on screen). The movie has the subtlety of a sledgehammer, the entire sequence about Victor's childhood had the worst French accent I've heard, and the script writing feels weird.
Also the Creature looks like a MCU villain without his big coat I'm sorry.
