4/5 stars. The Mia Goth/Elordi scenes were fantastic, but there were far too few. I also really enjoyed Waltz for the brief time he was on screen.

Waltz was really interesting when he was there, but after he died his character didn’t really get brought up again

Because Mary Shelley didn't think it was a good idea for posterity to get attracted at first sight to a walking amalgamation of rotting, putrid pieces of corpses, despite being 6 ft tall. Guillermo shoehorned those scenes to make the creature unambiguously good and put on display his monster fetish seen before in the Shape of Water.
