A dark, eerie and magical film

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2012)

This was the first foreign film I ever watched, I had so many wild thoughts in my mind as to what it would be like. It looked like a mythical tale for children, yet had the violent and bloody overtone of the Spanish Civil War. So I was intrigued by what lay ahead in this movie. I rate my movies in 4 categories; Cinematography, film-making, acting and the overall experience.
Cinematography: This one of the best visuals I have ever seen in a movie, the whole movie is enclosed in a dark and eerie tone that looks amazing, everything fits perfectly. Nothing ever looks happy in this film, and that is what brings out the picture. 25/25
Film-making: Guillermo del Toro is a brilliant film maker. He's the foreign version of Peter Jackson. His editing is superb, the Pale man and other creatures look absolutely amazing and the setting of this movie is amazing. 25/25
Acting: It's hard to rate the acting, because you have to focus on two things. The body language and facial expressions of the actor and how the actor speaks. With the body language I see nothing wrong, but seeing as it is Foreign I can not tell. 25/25
Overall Experience: I highly loved this film. It's entertaining, has brilliant visuals, great story and an amazing ending. I recommend you watch this film, right away. 25/25
Overall Score: 100/100
