November 20, 2009This was an extremely beautiful movie. Although it was very violent, it was very unique and interesting. It kind of made me think of the opposite of Coraline if anyone has every seen that movie. In Coraline, the girl wishes for a perfect world or one that is better than the one s...( read more)

November 13, 2009A gripping story that ends in a profoundly emotional way. Not the simple fantasy you might expect but something eternally greater. This movie is not only my 2nd favorite but one of the best films of all time.
-
November 12, 2009Adult fairy tale, superbly crafted, intoxicating, original, simultaneously enchanting and dark, melds historical fact with imaginative fantasy and delves headlong into the brutality of the Spanish Civil War aftermath from an imaginative child's perspective. Great beauty, piercing...( read more)

November 6, 2009Pienso que la película es muy buena y revela cierta realidad alla por el 36" en España, pero me parece un poco extraño que la niña pase imaginando que su mama es una reina y bla bla bla mientras la guerra civil hasta donde yo entiendo (no soy de españa) se desatò contra los poder...( read more)

November 3, 2009A girl ,obsessed with fairy tales and living with a sadistic stepfather who hunts Communist guerrillas in post-Civil War Spain, is informed by a faun that he will restore her to her throne as an immortal fairy princess if she can complete three tasks. This would have made an exc...( read more)

November 3, 2009Not many liked this one, but I thought is was brutal. Not great but I enjoyed it in a boring sort of way.

November 2, 2009Alice in Wonderland is one of the most beloved stories of our time, It tells of a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole and get's transported to another world where strange creatures rule and the possibilities of magic and adventure are endless. But it's been nearly 144...( read more)

November 1, 2009I had really high expectations going into this movie. It was good, but not quite my favorite. I liked the guy with eyes in his hands!

October 29, 2009Amazingly creativity with the creatures and sets and costumes. The story is sad but good.
-
October 27, 2009very bizarre, disturbing, moving and wonderful. A little disappointed because I thought it would be even more random/bizarre, but still genius. Well made and acted with nice messages that leave you thinking
-
October 27, 2009A grown-up fairy tale blending realist horror and fantasy to create an enthralling, mesmeric fable that any can connect to.
-
October 27, 2009I really was expecting this movie to be sort of a fairy tale with frightening creatures and that it was going to be a real treat and everything would end happily ever after. Boy, was I wrong. I know a little about the Spanish Civil War, I know that Franco had about 500,000 people...( read more)

October 27, 2009The movie had it up and downs. I loved the choice of the cast & their performance. The combination of reality and fairytale was also nice, but I expected more from the fairytale side.
-
October 27, 2009I haven't seen it but from what my friends are saying and from the looks of it, I think this is an awesome movie
-
October 25, 2009Really cool! Guillermo Del Toro did an excellent job! I loved the effects, the characters, and the story line. Fantastic. =D
-
October 25, 2009A very unique and outstanding attempt on the combination of an adult fairy tale and realistic resistance war story. Director Del Toro manages to merge those two very different aspects into a very moving, exciting and entertaining movie with wonderful effects and design. Definitel...( read more)

October 25, 2009This film was really creepy! Hard to understand since it was spanish, even with the english subtitles. I wasn't very amused with this film at all. It had a good story but was just really off in so many places.

October 24, 2009This movie is a tribute to innocence. Each character represents a side. Ofelia and Merssades represent the innocence, Ofelia's mom represents neutrality, and The Captian represents evil.
This truely is a movie for the ages. Each task helps Ofelia become more innocent and more...( read more) -
October 23, 2009Absolutely beautiful!!! This whole movie was above my expectations! Stunning special effects, wonderful costumes, fantastic characters. Even though Ophelia dies in the end, it was a spectacular fairy tale.

October 19, 2009I cannot recommend this film enough! The entire film is unlike anything I've ever seen and feels so original. What's more, in parts, this film makes me feel so uneasy - something no other film has managed. The creature Pan has to escape in the second task, quite frankly, scares...( read more)

October 13, 2009woow, i watched this movie expecting a fairytale for kids with a bit darker visuals. I wasn't able to watch the trailer nor read the synopsis so I was pretty shocked with what the film is all about. the visuals, the characters, the language used, the mood, everything fitted in! I...( read more)
