The monster didn't look like a fish to me. He looked like the land-borne type, so how come he could swim under water from the Artic except for coming to the surface long enough to bash in a few ships and a lighthouse or two?

When the beast inevitably climbs onto dry land (near Wall Street) to wreak havoc on New York City itself, it's a riotous good time.

[A] naïve but entertaining fantasy.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms provides an ample, if not slightly stodgy, slice of B-movie pie that's improved by the sprinkling of Harryhausen's cream on top.

The work of Ray Harryhausen is front and center in this solid effort.
