Quote: "It just came out yesterday right?"
It's been out a while over here, might be different over there.
I got it about a month since. Very good film, at first I was like "hmmm, do I really want to watch a film about fairies" but it's much better than I expected.
In the DVD extras there's an interview with the director. I can't quote exactly but he says something along the lines of
"People have become desensitised to Hollywood violence. Blood running down Bruce Willis' face just dosen't have the same impact it used to. Seeing someone have the side of their mouth or the gaps between their fingers sliced open has much more impact on the audience" and it's true.
One of the most powerful parts, in my opinion, is... (spoiler-ish alert)
the part where the doctor gets shot and carries on walking for a few steps before removing his glasses, wiping his brow and collapsing. He's just such a nice dude
Guillermo del Toro also spent years scribbling and sketching all his ideas for the film in notebooks. He really put in some effort and it shows.
We are the angry mob, we read the papers every day. We like who we like, we hate who we hate but we're also easily swayed!
