One of the Best Fantasies of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2007)

This is one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. The score, the acting, the cinematography--nothing could have been better. The creatures and set pieces are intricately and sensationally crafted, and the film is filled with substance and the directing from Guillermo is nothing short of amazing. The conclusion is both thrilling and heartfelt, while at the same time satisfying and enchanting. Once this movie has you in its grasp, once its spell has been cast, there is no breaking free. It is filled with magical moments and disturbing ones, and the subplots only add to the main storyline and serve as proof of the amazing screenplay. I couldn't have asked for a better movie. One of my all-time favorites, very close to #1.
