Just amazing. Best use of Imax3D I have ever experienced...twice. GDT nailed it. Yeah, story is simple and full of classic beats, with dialogue that would be cringeworthy under ANY other circumstances, but like ID4 this is PURE SUMMER FUN and a tremendous visual feast. Such a tribute to movies they just don't make anymore. Seriously, when the Kaiju flexed, against a neon backdrop of Tokyo...and the music had that Toho Studios BOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGGG...I actually was glad I had 3d glasses on, cause my eyes were leaking. God bless you Guillermo Del Toro.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, visuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, visuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I HAD to see it. Had such hope. I even tried to ask myself repeatedly, 'Am I judging this too harshly', 'were my expectations too high'? No. It JUST WAS NOT GOOD. If you want to do your own take...then do it. Don't ape Sam Raimi's swirling thru the sound system voices and late night swamp cam, AND POORLY. I mean, you want to do the tricks, tech has advanced in huge strides...why are they pale imitations and not improvements? Or...did you want to mute them so you don't get accused of trying to go slapsticky like Raimi. If so, then why even do it? Not going to discuss spoilers but there is a better story/reason for them being in a dilapidated cabin in the woods than Raimi's, but if you are only going to throw random plot points out without developing them or attempting to tie them together and integrate them into the storyline...why bother? And no...this is not NC-17 stuff. Maybe I am jaded, but none of the effects are all that...either over-the-top or even particularly engaging/interesting. This movie is not named Evil Dead(and it really could have been, other than a loose tie to the Necronomicon it's pretty standalone) and NOBODY cares. You have to care about your characters in order to feel any dramatic weight when they get ripped to shreds and that...ain't...here. The audience was mostly bored, waiting for something, anything that had a spark of the wild creativity that the original(which is not a perfect movie by any means) had. Just a product of our times. Overhyped repackage of a classic movie that is meant to capitalize on the young audience who have heard the original discussed in reverence. In the end, my bag of overly salted popcorn had more to it than this empty exercise.
Cons slow, just not scary
No, I do not recommend this movie.

despite the worst movie theater experience I have had in a long time due to the rudeness of others...I still really enjoyed this movie.It's nice to see stop motion animation and in 3d it was unreal.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
