Dark fairy tale for adults (customer images misleading!)
Added 10/21/2009
The story in this movie is original, creative, intense, startling, and beautiful. Definitely not for most kids. I can't express fully how much I loved this film. The subtitles did not bother at all. I prefer that to dubbed. I am actually writing this review because I found the customer images for this particular DVD to be very misleading. There are barely any special features on this DVD. There's a video prologue and commentary by the director. That's all.

My main concern with this movie was the subtitles but after 3 min. watching you don't even realize you are reading and watching at the same time. The imagry is so awesome, and the charecters blow you away. Not good for the kids however. A fairytale for adults.

Incredible!
Added 10/16/2009
Incredible movie!!! You don't even notice that you are reading subtitles. Not only is the character development and plot excellent, the imagery is absolutely extraordinary! Also, this movie becomes increasingly more interesting if you know some of the director's background and you consider the metaphorical/direct themes of the film. Great movie if you are just looking for something engaging to watch, or if you are looking for something to stimulate your mind. Only negative is that some of the creatures look and act a little fake (e.g. the toad under the tree), but its not at all a deal breaker.

One of the best work of art
Added 10/13/2009
This movie moved me up, down, and every which way as most brilliant works of art does. And the director was able to accomplish this even though I was reading the movie since I dont really comprehend Spanish. It is one of the best movies I have seen in the last decade. A must see for everyone (well, mabye not so much for kids). Its right on top of my blu-ray collection.
