I really dislike the shape of water. It has so much potencial, but in my opinion he missed it. The movie is just about a fishman making love with a woman. Why he has healing powers? where did he come from? what is his story? He never explain that, but he waste time explaining how the penis of the fishman is.
Also the characters in this movie are so simple. There is the good ones, and then the really really bad guys. but why are they bad? what makes them be like that? nothing, they are just evil and thats it
In crimsom peak at least you could sympathyse with the characters even if they were evil, because they explain you the past and why they behive like that

bladeanangel- and I thought I was the only one who didn't like Pacific Rim. I sort of understand how other people found it fun to watch but personally I just couldn't get into it, I found the Hellboy movies and Blade 2 much more enjoyable. I did however love Devil's Backbone & Pans Labyrinth & I adored The Shape Of Water cause it reminded me a lot of the fairy tales I loved when I was growing up like Beauty & The Beast, plus it had a happy ending which doesn't happen too often in Del Toro's movies. I also really liked Crimson Peak, it's a shame that film is so underrated.

After first watch, Pans Labyrinth is GDTs best. After two watches, The Shape of Water is on equal footing. After three and beyond, I begin to realize that Shapes use of symbolism, metaphor, color palette, cinematography, historic narrative ability to squeeze every ounce of talent out of his cast places it on the level of a masterwork. While the edge now goes to The Shape of Water, del Toro needs to be recognized for being a rare writer/director to have reached this level of quality twice - and in two different languages.

I really love Crimson Peak, but they sold it wrong, that's for sure. It's a ghost movie, yes, but is not supposed to be a horror. As is, the highlights of the movie are the characters and the manor itself.
Is a much more delicate, subtle movie and i guess that's why people didint like it as much, it was not the kind of movie you would expect from Del Toro when it came out, but he did it beautifully and still got to make it the way he wanted. Is gorgeous, deadly and melancholic like all good gothic stories are supposed to be.

Half of the Shape of Water was steeped in visual symbolism including the choice of colours, as well as references to Hollywood films that inspired Del Toro. So it's as good as Pan's Labyrinth, but much of what makes it good isn't immediately apparent to a casual viewer. I don't mean to sound pretentious since Del Toro is generally very good with balancing symbolism with simple enjoyment in his films, but there's Definitely a lot more in The Shape of Water under the surface than Pan's Labyrinth (which is equally good)

Mostly went on about the synopsis. If a viewer was really invested in the plot of any of these movies, Id think theyd have the common sense to maybe look it up. And there were no real valid points as to why each film was ranked to the spot that it was. And the spots of each of these films were way off in my opinion.

The Shape of Water is the only romance I'll watch. And man. It may not have been the BEST ever, I loved the visuals.
He has a beautiful vision, and honestly, any movie he makes is just nice to watch. I can ignore most of the flaws director wise.
Also also, WHO'S READY FOR DEATH STRANDING?

He has made some great movies. My top four (five) directors are
Christopher Nolan
Quentin Tarantino
Antony and Joe Russo
Guillermo Del Toro
Although I love nearly all of their movies.
I would like to see Stanley Kubrick's ranked because he is a legend.
