PodBill Just what I expected

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

paulclaassen Amazing visual effects makes this one of the best foreign language films I've ever seen, and quite frankly one of my favorite films of all time. The interesting plot comes wonderfully to life with fascinating visuals and good acting, notably Sergi Lopez as the antagonist. This is simply brilliance on every level!!

yasoo-04 At first glance I thought that this was a movie for children or general audience. While watching, I quickly realized how much violence the movie contained, along with gruesome scenes. I went back and checked the rating and turned out it's rated R. I am mentioning the rating confusion that I faced because I found this movie very unusual. I couldn't fit it to a category. From my point of view, the combination of fantasy and history/drama seemed incoherent. Also, I didn't find the fantasy part really captivating, it was rather dark. Overall, it was worth watching to a certain extent but definitely not a great one!

jessicapopplewell The religious undertones were incredibly strong. All of Ophelia's choices were moral choices. She screwed up once, but was given a second chance. At the end, she gave her life for her brother, which arguably is the ultimate good. She got to escape a horrible, war ridden world to go home to her father (God) in his kingdom (Heaven). This movie was one of hope, and the purest explanation I've ever seen of Christianity. That's why there was a heavy theme on innocence, and the simple brutality of life.Maybe the director didn't mean that, but that's how I took it. Don't let this review ruin the movie if you don't like or believe in religion. It's ambiguous, I'm just inclined to think of it like that because of my experiences.It was a great movie, very morbid like life itself, but not without hope. Definitely recommend.

massimodagostino At this point I think the problem is mine. Anytime a new Del Toro movie comes out, I think that finally I'll like this one. But no. None. Never.
