I just watched it. And to the guy who has the Pan Labyrinth avatar, now I know what you were talking about. Com'on though, Schindlers' List meets The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe? One or the other, man. Either one would've fared well. I'm thinking the Spanish Nazi story would've fared better. Total guy flick thing. I'll give it credit for that.
I liked this movie first time I watched it, and it was better still the second time. Not to everyone's taste, but as an escape into the world of fantasy, not too bad.
I thought the 2 genres didn't mesh as well as they could have, for me anyway. I couldn't believe how intense the military scenes were, incredible. The plot was great too. The fantasy stuff seemed out of place. I know what they were going for, but it didn't set right with me.

Me?
I'm a fan of most of Ivana's (the girl who plays Ofelia) movies, however this is probably my all time favorite movie. This movie could actually be split into a fantasy and a horror (albeit with some plot missing) but the transfer between the two is amazing imho.
The ivana fan forums have been quiet for a while, though a topic about pan's labyrinth might revive them a bit
