I was surprised by the emotional charge of this film. It takes the themes and heart of the original story and transforms them into something completely new. both in plot and tone. While Disney's live-action reboot literally tells the exact same story, with a dramatic drop in the adult themes and heavy themes, the film takes a darker, more adult path. In his story, DEL toro explores themes of war, death, and the nature of evil. and the fragility of life. In doing so, it effectively adds something serious to the overall narrative while respecting the source material. Also, the movie itself is absolutely gorgeous in its visual presentation. Every image and moment is filled with amazing detail that only someone like Del Toro can achieve. I ended up liking this movie. I think it's a great adaptation of a story that manages to honor all the meanings while still having its own identity.
