Mediocre and disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2018)

I really wanted to like this movie. However, there were certain elements that made that impossible.
1. The overuse of nudity and sex. A movie can show love/attraction between two characters and still be classy. For example, in the movie "Wind River", the attraction between the two main leads is noticeable but handled in a very appropriate way.
2 The constantly shifting tones. It seemed like Guillermo was trying to combine fairy tale, horror, and gothic elements into one. At least "Pacific Rim" knew what it was (i.e. a movie about big robots beating up big monsters).
However, there were some things that I did enjoy. Most of it was centered around the technical elements of the film. I also have to give credit to Doug Jones. I thought his performance was very good considering the material that he was given.
This is not a Oscar worthy movie by any means. But, it is not a bomb. There are moments that were very effective. Unfortunately those moments are sporadic making the overall movie forgettable.
