Why should I be excited about Guillermo Del Toro's SIlent hill involvement?

Just go watch The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth, The Orphanage, and comme back to tell me he only does "popcorn" movies again and there's no reason to be excited.

Add to it Mimick and Cronos both highly underrated movies IMO.

OP: that has to be the most generalized view on Del Toro's lifework ever. You are crying commercial, and all the "horror" element you cand find in his movies where in Blade 2 and the creature design in PL.  Its obvious that you only focused on his moneymaker movies, just to make a point, or you are making a terribly wrong, illimford point.

 

Either way it was a substandard try to downplay a game from which we have only seen a teaser thus far...

True, I forgot about these ones !

Agreed. Did he make "popcorn" movies ? Of course he did (and great ones at that). But everytime he touched the horror genre, he made pure gold.

Also, he wants to make a movie based on Lovecraft's novel "At The Mountains of Madness". How can you not like this guy ?
