terrific movie! pretty images and awesome characters there. my children will watch movies like this instead of movies like harry potter. erm.. more or less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it deserves it's own thread. discuss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yes, have them watch a traumatic film influenced by war. Choice. |
||||||||
|

it was good but like someone said on watmm the best parts were trailered. i did like it better than the lion the witch and the wardrobe though; it was suit ably dark in tone instead of cotton- candyish. quite violent though indeed. |
||||||||

I agree that most of the better parts in the movie were in the trailer, and I didn't think the movie was fantastical enough. It had a few interesting scenes and the rest was dominated by a war-time struggle plot, that although done well enough, was not what I expected (in the bad way). |

Did the extreme foley work bug the fuck out of anyone else? They must have spend half the budget on it. Everything was so loud and squishy or creeky or whatever sound effect they could imagine turned to 11. It was actually distracting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe they just had the digital reverb turned up or even just the sound was too loud at your theatre. It sounded fine to me. |

I liked this movie quite a bit. Liked perfume much more though. |
||||||||
|
|

|
just seemed like the amount of it was overdone. I don't even hear sounds that exacting and punctuated in real life. That could be the point, but that doesn't make it right. |

Didn't like it much. The civil war storyline was engrossing but mainly due to the constant threat of over the top violence, and the fantasy sequences I found visually ok but mawkish and insubstantial. For all the plaudits it's received when the end credits rolled I was left with a distinct feeling of "Is that it?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think the whole fantasy element was supposed to simbolize her disconnection with the increasingly violent world she is becoming involved in, and the unrealistic sound design and over the top violence were only exclaimation points. Don't mean to sound like a wanker. |
||||||||
|
|

|

it had to many useless violence |
||||||||
|

I watched it last night. I knew nothing about it prior to watching and I must say it was quite superb. Excessively violent in places (the scene where the captain murdered that man reminded me a little of Irreversible) but absolutely stunning visually. The ambiguous ending is probably gonna leave a lot of people feeling somewhat disappointed, but I think it worked. Apparently, the director believes that her fantasy experience was real, but I like the fact we can make up our own minds. |

Indeed, I enjoyed this very much. Definitely one of the more interesting movies of late. Unfortunately, my only reservation is the under use of fantasy elements. I wanted more Pale Man! Appart from that, I thought it was excellent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, pale man sure plays one mean game of peekaboo! |

I prefer I.E. |

I liked it, but I agree with your critiques. |

one of my fav films of the year. great story. well executed. |
||||||||
|
|

Yea I thought the movie was great. All I had seen by him was the more commercial stuff (Hellboy, Blade II). I thought it was interesting how you are never sure whether or not what the girl was experiencing was real. Some people complained that this was too slow, but I don't mind a fantasy/horror that focuses more on drama rather than action and thrills. Dark Water was another example of a movie like this that I enjoyed but others were critical of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it had some nice imagery agreed. most if the elemets of the film have been covered already. <2cents> I felt it lacked actual drama/suspense |
||||||||
|

I haven't seen the trailer, so looks like Im set. |

i thought it was 'ok'. not great nor rubbish. |
||||||||

i wanna see it :[ |

i loved this movie. definately a 10. |

terrific film... afteward's my friends and I got into a debate about whether or not the fantasy aspect was Dream or Reality (within the context of the story). I'm in the Reality camp, but would agree there is no clear answer. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yep, i agrree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i think its on a par with tim burton's very best work.. a great piece of work by a man whose spanish language films had never impressed me before. |
||||||||

overhyped, overrated, which made my standards for it too high, watching it was like going to see a mediocre film. children of men was much better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it was good. Some scenes were pretty grotesque though. Plus El Capitan was a cunt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked it. awesome visuals. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha I had the EXACT same feeling when I saw that bug. didn't make sense whatsoever. it was an allright movie. noting super special though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very poor visuals, cheesy blue nights and oh-happy gold daylights, pathetic scenes deep in the forest with sun shining and rain falling only for the "blueish" effect. stupid violent shit, probably the worst movie I have ever seen. violence was so aesthetically overdosed that almost made me puke. I guess some pretty fucked up, perverse, sick fuck directed this useless, nonsense crap. |

i liked this movie. surprised to read it is possible to dislike. the creature sitting at the table was, say, cool (weird, eerie, scary) nice to see Marybel Verdu again (i liked her from the y tu mama tambien film) to stefano_azevedo: harry potter movies suck just a priori; they are fucking crap, or something like that, "can't find the word". |

eyes in your hands is such a disadvantage to a monstar. |

why did they call the english version "Pan's Labyrinth"? the original title was "El laberinto del fauno"... no mention of Pan... anyway— i liked it. maybe not the absolute masterpiece i had heard it was, but still very good... i loved the ending. the faun & the "Pale man" (as well as the red/creepy decor in which the "pale man" was, with silenthill-like corridor) were really cool too; a shame the golden palace was quite kitsch, especially compared to the general classiness of the other "magic" characters & places. and i liked Mercedes' character very much as well. |

"hy did they call the english version "Pan's Labyrinth"? the original title was "El laberinto del fauno"... no mention of Pan... " pan is a greek name for faun apperantly.. i thought it was nice..something i'd play to my kids if i had them. |

i thought this topic was going to be about the critically-panned labyrinth starring david bowie's crotch. |

Good movie, but I hope he doesn't really subject his children to such sadistic violence - not good fatherhood. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
right, i thought you might have missed that..you know english people..they have to have it their way : ) sergi lopez always gets these agressive, sadistic parts..it suits him. |

faun c.1374, from L. Faunus, a god of the countryside, worshipped especially by farmers and shepherds, equivalent of Gk. Pan. Formerly men with goat horns and tails, later with goat legs, which caused them to be assimilated to satyrs. The plural is fauni. |

On the movie, I actually saw it just a few days ago. It was ok, it had some nice visuals, and I liked the characters, but the part where she isn't supposed to eat the grapes.. I mean, that was too stereotypical and out of character. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, my mistake then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Saw it recently and liked it a lot. It left me both saddened and exhilarated, which is a good thing for a movie to do. |
