Director Guillermo del Toro *likes* FX.

He's had this movie in his head for some time, BTW...along with the visual images (there's storyboards and diaries he drew over the years with images similar to the finished film).

Like them or not, the make-up, CGI et al are used by del Toro to tell the story the way he wants to.

He reserves the box office FX for his hollywood fare like Daredevil.

But never doubt that this is the film he wanted to make and that it was made the way he wanted it.

Spirit of the Beehive is maybe a better movie and it's surely a great one, but I thought Pan's Labyrinth was quite wonderful in its own way.

It is, BTW, a companion film to The Devil's Backbone, which I assume you've seen.
