Pace: 2/2
Acting: 2/2
Aesthetic: 2/2
Intention & Origionality: 2/2
Score: 10/10
Final Word: Both beautiful and haunting in equal measure, a must see film. Spanish and subtitled, but let that put you off and you're missing one of the best films ever made; part Schindler's List and part Chronicles of Narnia. Guillermo Del Toro's master piece, and a far superior film to it's spiritual-kindred The Devil's Bcakbone. I could go on (and on), but I wouldn't want to undermine it by overhyping- the less you know the better the experiance. Go see it.
Hey Paul,
ReplyDeleteYour rating system is all kinds of wrong! You definately need to change that. Also, don't you get suspicious of overly high or low scores?

DeleteWrong, how so? I admit it's a fairly mechanicle and cynicle animal, but it usually comes up with the ballpark figure you expect. Give it a go.
Besides, this method gives it's commponent equal recognition, so if you look at the review and decide 'hey, I don't care about the acting', it's easy enough to account for that. I see this as an easy way to catch up on a lot of film reviews, and why is it really any diufferent at the end of the day to me litterally writing; Well acted, well paced, great effects, origional story...
However, maybe all this should have been on the thread about the method and not the actual film?
Having a low or high score in this sense isn't really suspicious as I stand to gain nothing by it.
Still...
