    Guillermo! Don't sell yourself short! A lot of people could watch "Pan's Labyrinth" just fine. FOCUS ON FINISHING "THE HOBBIT" FIRST.

    I just don't understand remaking a movie thats three years old. Whats so hard about reading subtitles? It will never be as good as the original.

    This is so ridiculous. The film is roughly three years old and they are remaking it to appeal to those who can't read. I would not be surprised if this version features a lame young actress and ghosts that crawl upside down on floors and ceilings.

    I agree 100% with Monkeyrumen, but at the same time I'm willing to watch it, but it'll never be even close to the origional
