Pans Labyrinth.....

.....sure, I am a bit late, but.......that movie was awesome...

that is all....

Yep awesome....

I just saw it a few weeks ago, and I agree. Mexico has some of the best up and coming directors.

Saw it last week and was awesome.. sad .. quite sad but really interesting!

Me like!

A terribly overrated movie… lame fairytale/fantasy story, special effects are decent. This movie really sucked. Must have been the violence and blood why it was so popular.

Despite trusting Ria, who has raved on and on about this flick, it was very average IMO.
Story, performances, concept, execution - all average

Shame you didn't like it - that's always a problem with a film that's highly recommended. I still love it as you note :-)

it was a film that involved taking big risks from the director: they had every chance to make it something that the audience would reject, combining 2 different genres like this was not an easy thing to do.

i liked it a lot but i understand those who didn't.

Sucked!

I liked it, thought it was great.

I posted about this when the film first came out - it has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what the lullaby reminded me of & I FINALLY GOT IT. Sad to be so existed over but it has been bugging the hell out of me every time I've seen the film/trailer.

Pan's labyrinth's Lullaby

The jungle book end scene

Fradulent, unidimensional, simplistic, heavy handed stuff, passable visuals.

Everything was just telegraphed and all those torture scenes were numbing.

I did enjoy seeing Maribel Verdu from Y tu Mama Tambien, even though her character was such a saint.

Spirit of the Beehive by Erice dID a child in Franco's Spain so much better.

Ria, they both link to Jungle Book. This would be Pan's labyrinth.
