Review delayed as we did not get to see it on Saturday but I finally managed to catch it yesterday and it did not fail to disappoint. While ostensibly a superhero blockbuster this is so much more than that managing to be intelligent, funny and beautifully shot as well.
For anyone not in the know the lead character is a demon from hell raised from childhood by humans who has renounced his past and now devotes his life to protecting humans from the forces of the dark.
Written and directed by the Mexican Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) it is a visual treat for the eyes while offering a proper grown up story line. Hey, do not take my word for it, here is what the good Doctor Kermode had to say about it.
