This is a critic not a comedy.
19 December 2012
What could I say? I grow up with "El Santos" and all his acid criticism of our own behavior, our taboos, and old stupid moral values our society have. I agree this is not a movie for special-effects-drama-lovers, is for middle age Mexicans or foreigners well embedded in a very special Mexican culture. Jis & Trino the creators of the comic strip "El Santos", were aware of all the details of this movie, they invited most of the actors who share its voice for the characters and also invited Elena Poniatowska one of the most well known writers in the country and Latinamerica who made a small appear on the film. I wrote this review because I saw a bad review of the movie ended with "This is truly an insult for Trino and "El Santos", obviously he is from Mexico but he doesn't belong to this part of the culture. Please this is a critic not a comedy. My friends and I really enjoyed this movie we laughed all the time and are more than willing to watch it over and over.

Is fresh air on the polluted atmosphere of horror-fantasy films.
19 March 2007
This movie brought fresh air to the polluted atmosphere of horror-fantasy films, based mainly on hi-tech special effects and perfect make-up.

States again that a good story make a good movie and no backwards.

Anton has no big claws, or wings, he is not super clever, or strong, or fast. He goes throw the movie fighting with his memories, trying hard to help people, even on his own risk, feeling pain and fear.

We could think he acts in this way because he is hopeless, heartbroken and alone in a kind of suicidal crusade, but after a fight, he stands on his feet and starts over, showing us hope in humans.
