An amazing adventure with Guillermo del Toro.

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2014)

I will try to keep this review short and to the point without containing any spoilers(i don't like spoiling movies for those who haven't seen it).
Guillermo is an awesome director/writer. Whatever he visualizes is reflected on film in a way that it feels like you're in his brain. And this movie is no exception. The story is set in 1944 Spain. And i have to say i'm not much of a movie buff but it's filmmakers like Mr Del Toro that really suck me in to their work from the first minute mark(no matter what the topic is). I love the visuals and being that i don't understand Spanish it didn't feel like a foreign movie because in a way you can understand everything that's going on. The acting the movement. It translates well to any country. This movie i feel can be enjoyed by any age demographic. Sure there's a little blood and violence. But i do believe the message is there outweigh whatever negative a parent can find. I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching this roller coaster ride of emotions. Because (trust me when i say this) you will be glued to your screen the moment you see beautiful Ofelia.
8/10
