Man I was expecting so much more fantasy than there was in movie.
It felt more like a war movie than a dark fantasy movie like I was expecting.
Still a great movie, though and definitely worth watching.
I didn't trust that damn faun through the entire movie.
The part with the "feast" seemed almost like something out of Silent Hill.
I missed it in the theater in my hometown, but it was just shown in the theater near my university. Excellent, excellent movie. Not really what I was expecting--the fantasy elements were less promonent then I expected--but still excellent.
And the feast scene was brilliant, although you'd sort of expect that even a child would have had more sense then to eat those damn grapes.
And I don't think you were supposed to trust the fawn.
Yeah didn't trust the Faun at all. Especially when she asked about the carving depicting the Faun, herself and a little baby and the way the Faun quickly turned the convo around. That general though, I wish they could have tortured that sadistic piece of phlegm. The faun should have taken a dump in his mouth when they shot his ass in the face.
I liked the movie but I wouldn't really call it phenomenal or anything. The entire movie felt like I was watching the rough draft of something that could have been so great. The movie seemed to aspire to much more than it was. I give it about a 8.0 out of 10.
Anyone else think that Ofelia's facial expression was HILARIOUS when she ate the grapes. It's like she told those fairies "**** you!"

I'd give it a 4.7. I knew it was going to be dark, but I had no idea how violent it could get. I'm the only one that liked it though, everyone else was "What? IT's not in English!?!! NAH-AH!" but it's better that way, it does take place in spain.
Yeah, I think the movie being in Spanish really helped the tone of the film. When I think back to it, I don't even remember reading subtitles.
