Anyway, what I remember in bullets:
- The visuals were absolutely stunning
- But man were there some creepy-looking dudes. That thing with the eyes on its hands in the commercials and trailers is exponentially more unsettling in the movie
- Ofelia? Adorable.
- Capitán Vidal was a heinous douche
- I loved that it was three different movies in one - part war movie, part loss of innocence story, part fairy tale - and that none of these stories suffered at the expense of the other
- The whole thing felt like something Jim Henson might have made if he took a crazy acid trip - only a good thing in my eyes
- Loved the end being ambiguous
