So looooooong. So predictable. So nonsensical. Looks nice. I love Del Toro but there was no need for this movie to have been made.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's barely even a film. I'd call it a loosely strung-together collection of ideas culminating in absolutely nothing. Sure, visually it looks top-notch and the acting is fine but in terms of entertainment, you're simply better off not watching it. Nothing happens from beginning to end. Such high scores from other reviewers... but not from me. This is just an exercise in self-gratifiation by the director.… Expand

In other movies, monsters have found a way to balance this problem and make it forgivable, but this movie enhances this issue in the writing. I think this is a largely overrated movie and not worth waiting for more than two boring hours until something interesting happens.… Expand
