Pan's Labrynth
Just got done watching the movie. Very strange overall. Did have one interresting short TF in it of a bug turning into a fairy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any screenshots. Thought i"d let people know.

Although a wonderful movie, the fairies kinda bothered me being cgi and all. Probably puppets or actors being blue screened would have been better. :P

Yeah because the Baby Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells would have never existed....
In any case, I haven't seen this movie, would anyone recommend it? |

mixed fellings about it
horrid, violent, historic?
too fantastical, like lady in the water, but without the insistence of it being a 'story', nice cgi stick insect fairy though, also the root baby thing under the bed, two movies splattered into one, i didn't think it worked too well, both parts are very good but not in the same 2hr movie. could have had some tf/ap on the girl but nooo... she just lived happily ever after |

Pan's Labyrinth is a story about a child's imagination that she takes herself to either out of her own basic personality or as an escape from the post-Civil War world she lives in. To use two plots in the same movie was a good step for the writer/director Guillermo del Toro. It does not only tell about Pan's struggles in this world, but the struggle of a few other choice characters. To chop the other characters off to create a story only about Pan would be not so good. It would have dumbed it down for the mainstream, but it would have killed a lot of good story and dramatic sequences. Especially by the end, you see why the two stories are needed as they intersect. I wish not to ruin the story so I will not get into the details.
In the end, Pan's Labyrinth is on top of my recommend list as it does a good job of telling what seems to be a nice fairy tale story as it contrasts with what a terrible place the real world could be. |

I agree with what Sutibaru the movie was great. Pan's also on my list of best movies i've seen in awhile. with ultra violet and spider-man 3 being on the top worst movies i've seen in awhile.
