Didn't really meet my expectations

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2007)

I was expecting a completely different movie than what I saw. I was expecting something so fantasy based, when in reality, it was mostly taking place in the real world. And I could've handled that, except that this movie was so gory, I honestly couldn't watch quite a few parts of the movie. Granted, I'm a little more sensitive to gore than other people, but it was bad in this movie. I literally had to cover my eyes during some parts of the movie. So I went in expecting something somewhat light and a lot of fantasy, and I came out just having seen something so brutal and gory, that I was honestly disappointed in having gone to see this movie. Pan's Labyrinth didn't come even close to meeting my expectations.
