I really despise this movie. Although I have to agree that the visuals are stunning and the story is solid, I really think Guillermo did it wrong. Really wrong. The moments I wasn't bored to tears, I was either thinking "Gee, that's nicely gorey but seems awfully unrealistic / misplaced," "wow, this sucks," or "Argh Ofelia just die already. Messing up her dress, leaving chalk places.. honestly."

All in all, I don't even think the girl was even traumatized enough to "retreat" back into this dark wonderland. For pete's sake, she was with her mother - she wasn't being abused - she was given a nice dress and other things - her mother asked her sweetly not to do things. She didn't even SEE any violence! Ofelia just struck me as an annoying undisciplined child.

I am so disappointed.
