    Revenge Of The Creature is the first and better of the 2 sequels to the excellent Creature From The Black Lagoon.

    A team of scientists travel to the Amazon and they capture the Gill Man and take him to Marineland in Florida so they can study him. But it is not long before he esc...( read more)apes and goes on the rampage, destroying cars and kidnapping the female scientist (jsut like he did in the first movie). He eventual escapes.

    The cast includes Sci-fi regular John Agar (Tarantula, The Brain From Planet Auris), Lori Nelson (The Day The World Ended) and Nestor Paiva, reprising his role from Creature From The Black Lagoon. With John Broomfield.

    Revenge Of the Creature is certainly worth seeking out.

    Not quite as good as the original, but still good monster fun.

    Clint Eastwood's first movie, that's about the only good thing about this movie.
  • October 18, 2009
    The plot borrows heavily from King Kong and there are some unintentional laughs (as well as an intentional one involving a young uncredited Clint Eastwood), but the star of the show "Gill Man" makes this a classic monster movie.

    Not quite as good as the first one, but just as entertaining and watchable. The underwater cinemtaography is still pretty good, the extremely brief (and uncredited) film debut of Clint Eastwood is amusing, and the scene where the Gill Man flips the car over is awesome. Again, a s...( read more)tep down, but still good fun.

    One of my all time favorite villains is back: The Creature From The Black Lagoon! This time the Creature is let loose! There isn't enough horror moments for me, but it's still incredibly entertaining and an overall fun movie.

    omg this movie is awesome but i like the first one more and this is the second and its ok but i just cant wait till the remake come out it comes out in 2008 i want to see it so bad
    The Creature from the Black Lagoon is back! This time he's captured by scientists and transported ...( read more)to an aquarium in south Florida. Naturally, he's attracted to the lovely female scientist and managesto escape and kidnap her, heading to Jacksonville, presumably to catch a Jaguars game.

    I would rather watch every episode of Oprah while smelling Oprah's sweaty armpit. I would rather vote for Obama or scrape the burnt off of toast. To put it simple, no, this movie will not be watched by me.

    As with the original, Creature From the Black Lagoon, the gill man is the victim. He is the one we feel sorry for. He is kidnapped, tortured and shackled. His home is trashed, polluted and blown to bits. He is not the aggresor. Man is.
    KInda poetic eh? Well the sequel finds him ...( read more)being taken from his Lagoon home and brought to Florida. Were he is kept in a seaworld type aquarium. Revenge is a decent sequel. It doesnt rehash the same setting as the first. But it lacks some of the atmosphere the original film had. The Lagoon was a great setting. Fortunatly the film does get the Creature back to a natural setting near the end. This is one of the better Universal monster series.
    Oh yea i almost forgot..Clint Eastwood has a very minor role in the film.
