One of my favorites of the last couple years. While I can see where you’re coming from, I found myself *almost* as interested in the “real world” stuff as I was the fantasy sequences. That stepfather sure was a son-of-a-bitch, wasn’t he?

Great flick. Overhyped? Yeah, sure. I think DEVIL’S BACKBONE is *almost* just as good. But PAN’S lived up to my expectations, no doubt about that.

“No doubt, Pan’s Labyrinth is the fuck all of Guillermo del Toro’s career.”

Better?

“Without question, Pan’s Labyrinth is the hitherto epoch of Guillermo del Toro’s objectively off-and-on filmography.”

Do you write for the Village Voice now? English please.

I wouldn’t say it is overrated, but rather over hyped. The movie is definite quality, and I do think it stands as one of the best films of 2006, but it isn’t the breathtaking, emotionally destroying movie some critics are making it out to be.

still think this thing is WILDLY overrated.

still think DEVIL’S BACKBONE is FAR superior.

but i truly hope that this doesn’t become another instance of me growing to despise a perfectly competent and worthwhile film just because of the ridiculous hype it gets.

Of the films I saw on the big screen in 2006, Pan’s Labyrinth would be my favourite, Guillermo del Toro is exceedingly talented.
