cant wait meself. theres been a lot a good words about it...didnt know it was in cinemas so soon..

 

[snakybus]

I recommend it

Very dark, original and thoroughly believable (even though it's a fantasy!)

It has the baddest bad guy in a film ever. One of the best films I've seen in ages.

 

[travispickle]

yeh i'm looking forward to seeing it; sounds great. The only other of his I've seen is Cronos.
must also check out the 'devils backbone' - I hear great things about it.

A brilliant film, I am going to go see it again at the weekend
Get to the IFI early as it was in screen two last night and it was jammed early and got stuck at the bleedin front and have a creak in the neck today

Saw it last night too.

Brilliant, really great. Although i may have accidently hit the girl in front of me jumping at a particularly scary bit. Had to run out quick smart at the end in case i knew her.

As this threadstarter, I must admit my shame. I still haven't gotten round to seeing this yet!!! Will make every effort to see it this weekend. I had tickets for a show last weekend, but was, erm, waylaid by other, ahh, entertainments!!

 

[Gambra]

I have it on DVD download thingy here on my laptop.. Going to watch it at the weekend hopefully.. It sounds amazing..

 

[travispickle]

eventually went on Saturday. Huzzah!! A great film, thoroughly enjoyable - what a great central performance from the girl who played Ofelia. Wonderful stuff. Pretty violent and heartbreaking in equal measure. Even better, it got moved from squishy cinema 2 into cinema 1!! Will have to go again. Highly recommended.

nothing to add here- i loved it too

but I must takre this opportunity...


See this guy..

He looked a bit clumsy as he was chasing her didnt he?

I reckon he had poor hand-eye coordination


thank you

thank you

 

[dowel]

Much darker than I expected and at times extremely violent.
Looked amazing, there are still scenes stuck in my head from seeing it last weekend. Go see.

The Captain is the biggest jerk in cinema history.

Great Film - loved the parallels between the fantasy world and the real one. Very imaginative monsters/creatures too.

I expect great things from Del Toro - at once stage he was meant to do a version of Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness - unfortunally i think it's on hold but of all the directors I think he can really do the story justice.

Oh and I also got to see The Devil's Backbone over Christmas! Great, great film. Brilliantly written and directed; great cast of youngsters. But all youse have probably already seen it. Think I'll have to work my way through the rest of his movies now.
