Different and fantastic...

Be careful... SPOILER!
Okay, it's absolutely right to say that Ivana Baquero did a really good job playing Ofelia. She's a huge talent, and you should bear her in your mind the next years. The story is different but not that illogical I thought before. Unfortunately there are by some scenes or other a few mistakes like: Why doesn't kill Mercedes the Capitan? Maybe 'cause he's important for the ending ;-) And I was really commiserate about the monster, which is eating children, just had this... maybe 3 minutes. The first two secrets where in my opinion uninspired and acted like: Okay we need two secrets, let's take a toad, a golden key... But the third secret was instead so much the better. Generally the ending was really really great and I was totally impressed. I'm really curious about Del Toros next movies, I like him.
