A girl ,obsessed with fairy tales and living with a sadistic stepfather who hunts Communist guerrillas in post-Civil War Spain, is informed by a faun that he will restore her to her throne as an immortal fairy princess if she can complete three tasks. This would have made an exc...( read more)
A very unique and outstanding attempt on the combination of an adult fairy tale and realistic resistance war story. Director Del Toro manages to merge those two very different aspects into a very moving, exciting and entertaining movie with wonderful effects and design. Definitel...( read more)
While I have REAL problems with the second task Ophelia was given, I think this is a well made movie. I'd like to see it a few more times, before I make my final verdict...
I was absolutely blown away by this film. Being a huge fan of Cronos, I'd hoped Guillermo del Toro would return more to his roots in direction. Don't get me wrong, I love Hellboy, its just that this is what he does best. Brilliant, possibly the best film so far this decade/Millen...( read more)
A very enjoyable film, that is well directed and has all round good production levels. It's almost like two films in one running side by side. It would have been a bit more interesting to see more of the fantasy characters and their world in which they live in. The film can be qu...( read more)
una de las mejores peliculas que he visto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was an extremely beautiful movie. Although it was very violent, it was very unique and interesting. It kind of made me think of the opposite of Coraline if anyone has every seen that movie. In Coraline, the girl wishes for a perfect world or one that is better than the one s...( read more)
fucking great movie! if you havent had the time to see it, take the first chance you get!
Pan's Labyrinth is beautifully shot and designed, but it's the acting that makes it a remarkable emotional journey. full review
Pan's Labyrinth plays with dark magic, a hideous enchantment spun with grief and torment. It is emotionally devastating and sensuously rich: Details are as sharp as the ching of a straight-edge razor,... full review
His palette here is deep-toned, with bottomless blacks and supersaturated oranges and blues -- as if the Walt Disney of Pinocchio had collaborated with Goya. full review
Pan's Labyrinth artfully fuses a war film with a family melodrama and a fairy tale. The result is visually stunning and emotionally shattering. Though graphically violent in parts, it still manages t... full review
It is, I suspect, a film to return to, like a country waiting to be explored: a maze of dead ends and new life. full review
Pan's Labyrinth, horrific and heartfelt in the way it sees the trauma of war through the eyes of a little girl, is some kind of great movie. full review
Pan's Labyrinth is a political fable in the guise of a fairy tale. Or maybe it's the other way around.
Guillermo del Toro's vision has created a film that will last: an enduring fairytale that resonates and offers new interpretations with every viewing. full review
It's not only one of the great fantasy pictures but one of the great end-of-childhood elegies. full review
i just fell in love with this movie its just so wow its dif something i could watch over and over the only thing that could have made the movie better is if it was in english but it was still just a wonderful movie
Great movie. I love this movie, I highly recommended. This movie is a great fantasy movie.
this movie is like the best of all time!!!!!!! i'm going pans labyrinth freakish! and the faun is so cute! ;)
I Loved this movie! It had great special effects! I do think that there was a little too much violence! (of course I really didn't mind it) If you would like to see a really great fantasy movie! This is it! It is my favorite! I think it had a happy ending because the girl went with her parents instead of staying with that evil Stepfather (who died anyway) I think that she was a little stupid because she ate a grape after that faun told her not too, but I do think the guy at the table who put his eyes in his hands was awesome!!! THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE!
Oh god!You must see this movie,it's absolutely beautiful.And allegorical,I think,because the always die in wars.
Pretty underwhelming..
The Spirit of the Beehive (which influenced this) and Ivan's Childhood both do much better jobs at portraying the inner world of children during war.
