An acquired taste!

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2009)

Guillermo shows that he can direct crap like this but also masterpieces like "pan's Labyrinth". so it is fair to say he just gets lucky sometimes? i am not denying his unlimited talent and imagination, but movies like this should be directed by the likes of Uwe Boll or Paul WS. Anderson. on the other hand, consider the source material. i have no doubt in my mind that Guillermo del Toro is one of our greatest directors alive today. he stands up there with Spielberg, Scorsese, Herzhog or even Jackson. but this film is an acquired taste. to be watched by those who appreciate weak plots and weaker dialog. Do not let this review influence you. judge for yourselves.
