You guys who`ve bought it, have you actually seen it or are you buying it blind?
It`s just that I`ve heard it`s so bad. Of course, each to their own but was wondering if you`ve seen it yet because we haven`t even had it at the cinema.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

No I haven`t seen it yet that`s why I ordered it. £11 for the DVD and if its crap I can sell it on ebay and get most of my money back maybe even make a profit. Or £10 for two tickets to the cinema + travel + overpriced drinks and munchies+haveing some prat behind you talk all through the film and waiting longer to see it. Bit of a no brainer really.
And the trailer looked great.Also I haven`t seen a Guillermo del Toro I haven`t enjoyed to some degree.

Well, I`ve just watched mine, & thought it was pretty good.
Not the best film I`ve ever seen, but better than a lot of films I`ve seen recently (LXG come to mind...)
Well worth the £7 I paid for it.
Most of the cinemas near me cost at least, it not more than £7 for one ticket, & as I watched it with someone else, I`m already quid's in.
7 out of 10

Got mine yesterday. Can`t see how its as bad as people say, Del Toro is a great Director (Devils Backbone is brilliant). My brother had seen it and thought it was ok, which if you knew him would mean its actually quite good.

I`m watching it tonight, I`m sure it can`t be that bad can it?

I BT`d it a while ago.

Its ok, not great. If CD-WOW were punting the R3 for £6.99 (about a fiver with discounts) like they did Underworld, I would probably get it. But they arent so i wont.

The special effects make-up isnt great (especially abe sapien) but it does the job.

I think its got a bit of a bit of a bad rap, tbh. People have picked up on the fact that del toro for once hasnt produced a brilliant film and are just ragging on it because they can. Lazy reviewing contributing to urban myths, i reckon.
