I went and saw this movie last weekend and, wow, I was surprised. I expected it to be kind of like a darker version of Harry Potter or something, and, well, it was definitely darker. At first, I didn't like the fact that it's in Spanish and subtitled. That surprised me; I hadn't noticed that before going in. But to tell the truth, while I would have rathered it be in English, after a few minutes, the story pulls you in an you begin to forget it's in Spanish. Don't ask me how, just trust me, you begin to follow it. But man, it really is dark. Definitely a european film, not like our superhero comic-book stories here stateside. I love the Batman/Superman/Spiderman movies where the hero always wins, but Pan ain't like that at all. Check it out, but don't take your kids.
