I finally saw this today and I loved it. I thought the storyline with Ofelia and the one featuring the Captain could have been intergrated more, it felt like almost two different movies running concurrantly. I would have liked to have seen more interplay between the two characters. The Special Effects were really well done. I haven't seen Del Toro's other Spanish language films yet but if they are as good as this one, then I'll definately check them out.
