No idea this was a Del Toro film, just thought it looked interesting, at least I'd get a scare or two. But unfortunately, none of the above. What a waste, it's looks magnificent, but that's about all. Style over substance, any substance will do.
Apparently the film was novelised afterwards by Del Toro, and considering how mediocre the film was, the books might actually be better. It could have worked as a mini series, maybe Del Toro couldn't get it going and had to fit everything into a compromised film. Not good for an artists work, when that happens this is what we get. It's a real shame, I loved Del Toros Hellboy.
