Crazy busy but it was nice and I drink water to drink you drinks and eat it was really fun and I drink a great time and I eat apples.
The book should have been made into a Netflix series spanning three seasons. The movie doesn't do the movie justice and the movie doesn't tell the whole story.
I love fantasy, unlike my family. But to mix it in with an every day life scenario, it has to be done right. In the case of Pan's Labyrinth, the beautiful combination of the real war-torn world and the fantasy world worked spot on throughout the whole film.In this movie, the gaps of the fantasy world aren't really filled out properly. It presents itself as a world where demons and angels are fighting some kind of war. But the rules aren't very clear. This is made evident by the fact that the book is incredibly long and covers too much ground for it to be made in a film (Martin Scorsese himself deemed it unfilmable) The other, albeit much milder, problem I have with the movie is Will Smith as Lucifer. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Will Smith, but this just doesn't work. To play the devil, an actor has to have two things: Irresistible charm and the ability to terrify the wits out of you. Smith definitely has the first, but not so much the second. It unfortunately ends up being too sickly sweet and clichèd for my liking.
... but they didn't bring it up in the movie! This movie lacks background telling. The relationship between Peter Lake and his mentor had to be more described (10 minutes should be enough). The game of good and evil and its protagonists had to be more described in detail. A - simple - further boost in story telling would be achieved by adding some more scenes with Will Smith at the beginning and the end of the movie. Another rule for good movies: Don't waste many good well known actors (John Hurt and Graham Green) as side kicks with too few movie scenes - summing up only to merely seconds or some minutes of movie time. Don't construct one and a half love stories. The half one is by far too much.
