@caseyb1993 Really enjoyed it!
Not quite what I was expecting - I thought the 'love story' would dominate it but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was much more balanced than that - humour, suspense, bit of action, so enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
Also much funnier than I thought it would be - Zelda was hilarious. And yet it goes quite dark as well, Strickland is particularly nasty.
Within the first 15 mins I'd seen far more of Elisa than I needed to, learnt new uses for egg timers and found out what cornflakes are for. And I've seen enough eggs to last me a lifetime.
Cinematography was great, loved the look and feel of the film - how green is used all the way through - green walls, clothes, pies, cars (it's not green it's teal - shame about the scratch!!!) and green monster - fabulous!
It's not quite up there with the magnificent Pan's Labyrinth for me, but I'll definitely be watching it again and del Toro did a great job - easy 4 stars I reckon!
