What the HE**, boy !?

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2008)

I barely made it through the whole thing. $9. for this!? To say that it had decent CGI as a main point of enjoyment for this film would be ridiculous. This type of film DEMANDS great CGI and so the statement would be moot.
del Toro's hand-print is all over this project and, relative to the characters and scenes, it has a similar look, and feel, as 'Pan's Labyrinth', a weird foreign film which I didn't care for.
Ron Perlman is annoying in the role......as was the carry over thing with the cats. Red's big, rubber hand, while somewhat amusing and necessary for the plot continuity, is still just a BIG RUBBER HAND! Selma Blair's 'Liz Sherman' bursting into flame every once in a while, seemingly randomly, seems contrived.
I'll make this short..... I found it to be mediocre at best. If you like the genre, director, or the main character, rent it as a DVD..... don't waste your gas money to see it, more expensively, in the theater.
