Major disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2007)

(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) I only watched the first 25 minutes of this film. When the sadistic Captain kills the young man with the bottle, I was sick to my stomach. I found it so disturbing that I just didn't want to watch the rest of the film. The character development up to that time was non-existent as it was, and I was so disappointed that Del Toro could not come up with a more creative way to show the Captain's sadistic side without going into such shocking violence. There were many ways that this scene could have been played out that did not need to show the graphic and disturbing details. I would not recommend this film to anyone and it is not for children of any age. The "Fantasy World" marketing that this film has had is misleading. Be warned this is not for the faint of heart.
