    Doug Jones deserves a mention too! He is acting behind latex and is technically the leading man

    You lucky bastards.
    Hey, have you considered doing audio commentaries of movies? I would love to watch Pan's Labyrinth with your live thoughts.

    • @kevindehulsters

      Pan's Labyrinth with their audio commentary is a great idea!

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter  7 лет назад +13

      Grayson Smith Doubt that we'd ever do it for movies that aren't trash. We really hate talking during movies and we struggle to even provide any commentary in our trailer reactions until after, so if we did it it would just end up being us sitting there quietly for the entire runtime.
      We'd much rather be doing a video essay each per month, but we just dont have time between all the rest.
      That being said, we've wanted to do commentaries on The Cat In The Hat and The Flinstones 2 for ages, so as soon as we can line it up we will be doing those 👍

    • @graysonsmith3006
      @graysonsmith3006 7 лет назад +2

      That makes sense. I was just watching Pan's Labyrinth the other day and wishing I could quasi-watch it with you guys. Not only that, I think it would be great film education for us.
      Video essays seem like a good middle ground though. Look forward to seeing more of those in the future!
      And yes, please do one of Cat in the Hat :) :)

    When I saw the trailer I burst into tears, when I was reading GDT's speech from festival I teared up. I'm watching your review and weeping. I'm gonna be a mess at the premiere, no make up for me that evening.Can't wait for it) Thank you!

    Thanks for the review! I'm excited! I'm seeing this at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 12th! All 4 public screenings of it are at one of the theatres they filmed in for the movie called The Elgin Theatre, which there's a blip of in the trailer.

  • @PanGrotto

    I had watched this review right before I saw that Call Me By Your Name was playing at the Hamptons Film Festival. I landed some tickets and your review convinced me to get tickets to The Shape of Water as well. Pan's Labyrinth is one of my favorites and this was such a great pick. Thanks for the review guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it and you're beginning to make me fall back in love with cinema. Been to the movies maybe 3 times in the past couple years and all of a sudden I'm driving 6 hours to go to a film festival. Thanks again for your dedicated work!

    Fantasy and reality = Magical Realism. A genre inherent to Latin America, where we need to dream beyond our reality to cope with our way of life. Read Gabriel García Márquez's work, the MASTER of Magical Realism. Visit any country in Latin America and understand our surreality. Maestro del Toro is cinema's Gabriel García Márquez, and I'm damn proud of him.

    • @franciscomirandahernandez7510
      @franciscomirandahernandez7510 7 лет назад

      El realismo mágico ha tenido exponentes, para muchos (como yo y excompañeros de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM), más valiosos que García Márquez, con autores como Juan Rulfo y Elena Garro. No creo que del Toro se sienta afín a García Márquez, el tiene "fuentes" de inspiración diferentes.

    I know you both really loved 'A Ghost Story', and mentioned it will be hard to top that film. Well, from what I've heard so far regarding 'The Shape of Water', and more specifically after watching this review, where would you say it ranks of the movies you've seen thus far in 2017?
    Also, groovy review! This right here is my third most anticipated film after 1. Call Me By Your Name and 2. (Alex Garland's) 'Annihilation'. It is one to be damned excited for!

    • @BreakingBanter

    So...how much of this review is fanboying over Del Toro and how much is actually a true depiction of how the film really was?

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter  7 лет назад +4

      +The PNT Tv Network So... how much of the film have you seen?
      Considering it has 100% on RT and 97 on Metacritic right now, I'd say this review is pretty accurate 😊

    • @PNTTVReacts
      @PNTTVReacts 7 лет назад +1

      I haven't seen it, that's why I watched your review?! But I know from the trailer reaction, how much you love del Toro's work. So I legit wondered. I will obviously be watching it because I like Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer's work but seeing you called Pan's Labyrinth perfect...had me pause. I liked it for sure but perfect, not in opinion. For sure, make-up, cinematography, I know it's going to be a beautiful film. And as far as the reviews, isn't Venice the FIRST place it has been shown? Has the public seen it?

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter  7 лет назад +6

  • @Alchemist1330
    @Alchemist1330 7 лет назад +1

    So I mean this in not a rude way but, you guys use a lot of hyperbole and give many films perfect scores like Dunkirk (which lets be real is not a PERFECT film), so I don't really know if this is actually going to be that good because you guys are too liberal with perfect scores. If you give too many films perfect 10s your reviews are meaningless. Definitionally you should at most only give one film a year 2 tens so we can gauge it in comparisons to other films from that given year.

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter  7 лет назад +2

      +Alchemist1330 It has perfect scores from most other reviewers. We're heavily considering dropping scores altogether because putting a number on a movie is gradually becoming a more and more irrational concept.
      Even then, you have to rememeber that us giving a 10 means that the film achieved it's maximum potential. Not only does a 10/10 film not put a foot wrong for us, we also cannot see it being better than it was in any possible way. It's probably a good time to start preparing for 2-3 more 10s before the year is up at this rate.

    • @Alchemist1330
      @Alchemist1330 7 лет назад

      Okay well I don't want to tell you how to do your show, so if this system works for you you two should keep on doing things as you are. However, just as friendly advice, for me the best reviews on RUclips are given by "What the Flick" because they may praise a film up and down yet only give it an 8 or a 7, because for a film to honestly receive a 9 or a 10 is something truly special, in the 99th percentile of films. Maybe it comes down to standards (sorry if this sounds rude) but I entrust a reviewer to have restraint and have seen a large enough of a pallet of films that they can have enough nuance to understand there is a difference between something that very good and something that is PERFECT. As viewers we entrust to you to be better than a random opinion, therefore you should be extremely cautious to claim a film is perfect, because if we the viewer can see that a film in question is exceptional but has objective flaws (yes art is subject yet has objective qualities), we are left in a position that leads us to believe that our ability to evaluate film is more developed and accurate than yours and therefore they is no need to view your content. I say this with the utmost respect, because it seems like you two are really trying very hard to start a successful channel. In the end you are giving opinions so they can be what you want, but as reviewers they should appear to us well founded and rational. Deeming 4 films thus far this year as perfect is hard to rationally justify.

    • @BreakingBanter
      @BreakingBanter  7 лет назад +4

      +Alchemist1330 With Baby Driver, we didn't allow any swing room for subjective enjoyment, so it would probably come out around a 9.6 now.
      The other 3 however are truly films that deserve 10/10 (A Ghost Story, Dunkirk & The Shape Of Water). These are all maximum cinematic experiences that took it to the next level in every single aspect and we need to celebrate them for that. They're all 10/10 in different ways too, so you need to rememeber that. A 10 doesn't necessarily mean a movie is perfect, but if a film ends up on your Top 50 list straight away, you know that it is seriously special.
      Anyway, respect and appreciate your feedback bit we cant please everyone. We're just being honest and true to ourselves and our love for film 😊
