I tried to watch this three times, keeping an open mind. It got worse. Made it halfway, then fast forwarded. It looks OK, but the "story" is totally stupid. Completely unbelievable and one also has to suffer through weird nonsensical "sex" scenes. This total piece of shiite cost $20 million to make. Back in the 1950s B&W days, there was The Creature From the Black Lagoon. I happened to watch an old copy a week before I chose to suffer through this current monstrosity. One thing I got from trying to watch The Shape of Water is that I may never eat a hard-boiled egg again for the rest of my life. Thanks Hollywood, for nothing..

Hmmm. A "Bob Dylan movie" I'd never heard of before and thought to myself Oh no, not again. Surely it couldn't be worse than, say, Masked and Anonymous, or the saga of Renaldo and Clara? So I started to read some reviews and was surprised at how bad it's supposed to be. In the end, I was reticent to even watch it. Well I did just watch it and for me, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

It's definitely not a cinematic masterpiece by any stretch. The draw card for me was seeing Dylan in an old movie. Wasn't expecting much, (expecting to fall asleep).

It's difficult to say if a viewer has no interest in Dylan, (or Fiona), what the reaction would be. This movie is nearly 30 years old. Dylan is usually no great actor in films. Here he seems to be "acting" as himself, (whoever he is), with some iconic lines.

It's definitely a much better movie than many critics portray it as. Better than a lot of the new crap I've suffered through.
