I agree with The_Cack, both in his assessment of the two stories and in his overall score. The movie was very good, and did a great job of intermingling the two worlds and stories. But I just thought the "fantasy" aspect of the movie fell short, and was greatly overshadowed by the "real" aspect. Had the movie been a half hour longer with an additional fantasy journey for Ofelia, I think it would have been much stronger. As it was, I came out pleased, but by no means blown away. Pros: technically brilliant (especially the audio), great visuals, nice integration of the fantasy with reality Cons: too short, not enough of the fantasy world, yet ANOTHER Franco escapism piece from a Spanish director 4.0/5
