Crimson Peak Movie Reviews:
I have just watched this movie and
it was a terrible disappointment. I loved other Del Toro's movies, but this
ones feels totally empty. The film is a visual feast. Gorgeous locations,
wonderfully lit serve as the background for the tale. Fantastic shots and good
acting would make you think that this is a good movie. But it is not. The plot
is so cheap, that you can tell what is going to happen since the first frame.
The evil characters are so cartoonish that you can see their next movements
from miles away. The "good" character is so bland and pathetic that
you never have a real connection with her. In fact, as you can see where the
film goes from the beginning, this movie is a total bore. Do not waste your
time and watch "The Devil's Backbone" instead.
