It was, and that is one of the worst movies I’ve seen from Guillermo Del Toro IMO. If you enjoyed his adaptation of Frankenstein, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you haven’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth or The Devil’s Backbone. Depends on if you’re okay watching subtitled, though.
Don’t forget Pinocchio. In my opinion, that is the best Del Toro movie. Practically flawless and it is a crime that Netflix didnt put it in cinemas and that they refuse to put it on DVD or bluray. Fuck them for real.
I’ll admit I haven’t seen Pan’s yet and I will be watching it this Friday after remembering about it. My first child was born in 2019 which is probably why it fell off my list.
I really enjoyed his adaption of Pinocchio a couple years ago.
I did watch Chronos yesterday for the first time, and while it’s quite dated now the overall premise and story still stands out to some degree.
Frankenstein was pretty damn good imo.

it was very pretty, but it was weak otherwise. i really expected more compelling storytelling from him.

Or motherfucking Pacific Rim. That movie is literally just “big robot go boom” and it’s fuckin awesome.
Crimson Peak was pretty meh imo. The visuals were interesting, and I liked the designs of the ghosts.
I haven’t watched Frankenstein yet but I want to. Stupid Netflix.

Pan’s Labyrinth and Devil’s Backbone are both really good. Much better than Cronos imo (which was also pretty good)
Pan’s Labyrinth is soooo fuckin good. And brutal.
While watching Frankenstein I realized I was seeing what will be a classic movie. Not sure I’ve ever felt that during a show.
Damn you must be old by now.
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to understand the joke.
I thought the cgi was pretty lackluster for a 2014 movie. Looked like a ps2 cutscene at times. But I still enjoyed it. The werewolves were hot.
Not sure if joke or just missing the 2025 Del Toro version that came out on Netflix…
i don’t even know if i’m joking anymore honestly

The Creature actor also took 10-12 hours in makeup each day for shooting. https://youtu.be/Z1zX34F5jvs
