AJG Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Reviews have started to pour in...80% start as of now..Variety and HR looks negative while cinemablend extremely positive. So it looks like everybody will hate the movie except the fanboys online that were predestined to like and overhype the movie since it was announced... The brand new Pacific Rim.

dudalb Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Most of the negative reviews praise the film as being beautiful to look at, but totally lacking the emotional power that "Pan's Labyrinth" had. I am beginning to wonder if Del Toro has not become too obssesed with visuals ,at the expense of basic writing and story telling. I would hate to somebody who has such talent become another "All Style, No Substance" director. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Film is a visual medium, first and foremost, and especially for a gothic romance/horror style is substance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is getting only one screen at almost all of the theaters around me this weekend that have announced their full schedules. That probably speaks to Universal being aware that they don't have a big hit on their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TStechnij Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 How? I say what I see. But you haven't seen this. I'm not even confident you've seen Pan's Labrynth. I'm all for making assumptions about movies before I see them, but your assumptions seem to be 100% solidified before you even see the film.

CJohn Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It is impossible for this not to be better than Pacific Rim. The trailers alone assure that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It was somewhat looking like we would only get 2 of the new releases at our theatre this weekend. Goosebumps for sure, and likely Bridge of Spies (we have the audience for it). I accepted the fact that I likely wasn't seeing Crimson Peak in theatres. But our bookings came in, and it turns out we ARE getting Crimson Peak, and I was happy until I saw we aren't getting Bridge of Spies!

BUT I have seen Pan's Labyrinth (of course - as I have seen any other post 80ies movie that matter) - and it looks decidedly cheaper and outdated compared to the trailers of Crimson Peak. Why should this even be a surprise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
