DVD Reviews of Pan's Labyrinth (New Line Two-Disc Platinum Series)

DVD Review: Awesome Fairytale
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie has all the concepts of a great fairytale, murder, greed, betrayal, ogres, magic, a small child, and all the other dark things that make a classic fairytale. Not a movie for kids, because it is really graphic, but adults will be enthralled with the darkness and magic of the story.

DVD Review: good movie, and a gret blu-ray disc
Summary: 4 Stars

i have only watched it once so far but the movie is really good. if you dont like sub-tittles then this movie is not for you.

DVD Review: A fairy tale movie but for adults only
Summary: 3 Stars

The confusing part of this movie is whether it was made for kids or for adults. Certainly it wasn't for kids because then they'd have to watch all the gory stuff. But then if it was a movie for adults then they'd have to watch all the Alice in Wonderland stuff. Even this portion contains gory and frightening stuff. Wonder how the kid in these scenes isn't scared or show any fear. The pluses are the lovely color and music but the slow, mellow pace of the fantasy parts of the movie confirmed that there will not be any "bang" or shocker scenes. Sergi L?pez i Ayats as Captain Vidal reminded me of Ralph Fiennes's role in Schindler's List and he did well. Mercedes, the maid did tuck her knife well in her dress and I wondered why they kept showing that scene. This was also my second movie where they actually show the shooting of a child to death. The first was the notorious and violent, 1972 film, "The Wrath of God" starring a very young Frank Langella in a negative role.

DVD Review: A Hi-Def Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars

Firstly, if you have not seen this film, go and rent it from your local video store.

If you have seen this movie, you will know that to see it on Blu-ray is a must.

The detail is what makes these sorts of films so amazing, and detail is shown like no other in this film. The story has the hint of 'Little Red Riding Hood' but is much darker and not for children.

This is Del Toro's masterpiece and I am very excited to hear that he is writing 'The Hobbit'.

This is a must have for any blu-ray collector!

DVD Review: A movie for those who don't like fantasy movies
Summary: 5 Stars

I love that this movie combined historical fiction with fantasy. It's definitely a movie for people who don't like fantasy movies. My sister HATES fantasy movies like harry potter and lord of the rings, but by the time she watched half of 'pan's labyrinth', she said 'wow, this movie is great!'. I myself have watched it three times this week alone!

Even though the movie is in Spanish, you don't get bogged down by subtitles. It's easy to follow, and you could probably understand what's going on without even reading the subtitles most of the time.

It's an excellent movie - give it a try!

Description of Pan's Labyrinth (New Line Two-Disc Platinum Series)

Following a bloody civil war young Ofelia enters a world of unimaginable cruelty when she moves in with her new stepfather a tyrannical military officer. Armed with only her imagination Ofelia discovers a mysterious labyrinth and meets a faun who sets her on a path to saving herself and her ailing mother. But soon the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur and before Ofelia can turn back she finds herself at the center of a ferocious battle between good and evil.Running Time: 119 min.System Requirements:Runtime: 112 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating:?R UPC:?794043108877 Manufacturer No:?N10887

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, Jorge Luis Borges, and Guillermo del Toro's own unlimited imagination, Pan's Labyrinth is a fairytale for adults. Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) may only be 12, but the worlds she inhabits, both above and below ground, are dark as anything del Toro has conjured. Set in rural Spain, circa 1944, Ofelia and her widowed mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil, Belle Epoque), have just moved into an abandoned mill with Carmen's new husband, Captain Vidal (Sergi L?pez, With a Friend like Harry). Carmen is pregnant with his son. Other than her sickly mother and kindly housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verd?, Y Tu Mam? Tambi?n), the dreamy Ofelia is on her own. Vidal, an exceedingly cruel man, couldn't be bothered. He has informers to torture. Ofelia soon finds that an entire universe exists below the mill. Her guide is the persuasive Faun (Doug Jones, Mimic). As her mother grows weaker, Ofelia spends more and more time in the satyr's labyrinth. He offers to help her out of her predicament if she'll complete three treacherous tasks. Ofelia is willing to try, but does this alternate reality really exist or is it all in her head? Del Toro leaves that up to the viewer to decide in a beautiful, yet brutal twin to The Devil's Backbone, which was also haunted by the ghost of Franco. Though it lacks the humor of Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth represents Guillermo Del Toro at the top of his considerable game. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
