It's a highly entertaining and creative movie. Very enjoyable. And not just for the special effects, but the story-line is great as well. |

A very interesting, dramatic, and creepy fairy tale. The movie is really well shot and the special effects are great but do not take over the story. It is a very dark, but interesting movie. |

Very dark gruesome, gritty. Definitely not a childrens movie. Special effects are very good. Ofelia will steal your heart. Good if you can stomach it. |

Wonderful Movie |
|
I was very reluctant to watch Pan's Labyrinth because I don't normally like watching movies with subtitles, but the movie was really worth it.
The story for Pan's Labyrinth is not only unique, everything in the movie was wonderfully displayed. The make-up work, digital art, and character details help build the story, along with the dramatic sequences. The presentation of the story was great, almost fantastic. I couldn't wait to see the way the story continued to progress through the movie, and with several sides to tell, there was no way anyone could predict what would happen next.
The characters in Pan's Labyrinth were just as good as the story. All of the characters had distinct personalities which helped the movie grow with each scene. Even the way the characters interacted made ... |

This movie had me in tears in a puddle on the floor. Guillermo Del Tor is a master at making my whole body shake with what I hope to be shivers. It was violently realistic as well as metaphorically sound. It was terrifying and touching. It was brilliant and raw. This was no movie at all, but a film, and what truly astounded me was how fortuitously it brought all the components together into a wonderous film. |

Don't listen to people that give it under a 3, they just aren't ready for it. I can't blame them, it is very, very intense. This movie is about a young girl's fantasy's but is still extreamly disturbing and not for the weak of heart.
Now listen, I don't usually shower films with perfect scores, let alone those that are yet to stand the test of time, but I have to be honest here: I can't find anything tangibly wrong with Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth". Set against the backdrop of Franco's fascist repression in 1944, a young girl descends into fabled fantasy to escape the harsh reality of her step-father reign. This beautiful set-up is sheer darkly goosebumps-inducing magic, and the bitter everyday drama is almost as bitingly compelling.
"Pan's Labyrinth" is in this way neatly... |

i thought it was a kid's movie until i actually watched it & then i had to tell my little brother to close his eyes & cover his ears through the violent parts. the story line wasn't too bad, but it is disturbing especially the end. i liked it, as weird as that may sound, but don't recommend it for anyone who might have a sensitive stomach to bloody beatdowns. |

For those of you who want to see it: Keep in mind it is INCREDIBLY brutal. For instance, a man beats another man's face in with a bottle, shoots another guy 3 times, turns back to the guy who he beat and shoots his head. It explodes. It may sound awesome but it can distrub you immensly. |
