Didn't expect the violence at all. I was under the impression it would be a fantastic fantasy film and I was wrong. It just was something COMPLETELY different than what I thought it would be.

"Pan's Labyrinth" is a simple but heartful film that beautifully combines dark fantasy, mild horror and semi-realistic war drama in a truly unique atmosphere.

Guillermo del Toro creates a unique mix here, who knew civil war stuff could mix with dark fantasy—or can it be stitched together? I really enjoyed parts of this but i'm not sure I like everything together. The movie works when the two storylines are split, I enjoyed the first two acts with the back and forth between fantasy and civil war brutality they were both interesting but when they meet in the second half I think the magic dies. It also…
