Watched it last week, not sure why I didn't post here about it.

I didn't like it ... some interesting fantasy elements, fairly clumsy special effects, but it was really what I should have expected based on the excitement over it during the Oscars. Whatever did I really think it would be ... foreign, subtitled, everybody gushes over it ... gotta be two hours of pure misery with an overlay of crushing depression.

Felt the same way about Life is Beautiful, incidentally.

The Oscars have been a joke for longer than I have been alive.
When I say I "liked" it, it means I was not bored and was interested enough to finish it.
Some elements were really good. The costumes (outstanding), cinematography, art direction, lighting and a few other elements were really good.
I'm looking at things many of you don't even see.
The script and a lot of the acting really sucked, the director should have been fired.
