It is clear you did not enjoy the movie. But I think you may be missing my point. You will not find a more vocal critic of bad CG than myself and as an insider I can tell you that there is a movement in genre films, in the business of making genre films that is leading to this massive onslaught of bad effects that are ruining genre films. BUT my criticism is not based on a prejudice against CG in general but on the actual quality of the content of genre films and a knowledge of how these films evolve. When one bases their criticism of films, CG and CG in films on prejudice rather than actual content one will tend to throw out the proverbial baby with the bath water. Pan's Laberynth was the exception not the rule. Many of the bad genre movies with bad CG are being dictated by the guys who do the bad CG. Many of these films are asigned a visual effects supervisor the same time they are asigned a director.On many of these films the visual supervisor has as much creative power as the director. The result is self-serving gross misguidence from the visual effects department. That was not the case with Pan's Laberynth. This was an independent film and a director's vision. The CG was used with taste and for the purpose of telling the story. It was the proverbial baby not the bath water for genre films.
I understand that CG are like drugs. The one that use to be working yesterday has ruined the last year picture for ever, as we get use to it CG) and can see through it now without pity.
This picture will obtain the " classic " rank.
And that is bad.
Anyway I can not connect to this over dose, and I may have develop an allergy.
Pans Labyrinth, also has its good moment, and the director is certainly a fine one.
After his Devil Backbone I was eager to see his newest creation, and yes I was deceived.
But the CG is only a apart of it.
But as you wrote " ruining genre films " one can I say more than this...
I will wait for a more convincing show, beside the fact that genre film as you put it is not the one I seek to see.
Not as long as it eat out every real creativity.
One film I could see back then was Star wars I and II, there was a chilish story but you could emerge in the line.
Now I will enjoy Le Diner des cons for the fourth time and there, guaranty not CG...
