Pan's Labyrinth is one of those movies that you can see a hundred times and still find beauty in it. The movie is a dark fairy tale, kind of an Alice in Wonderland for adults if you will. We follow a young girl whose mother has married a Spanish commander. This young girl is something to behold for she is also a princess she is daughter of the king of the underworld. The story follows this girl trying to become a princess in a fantasy world while her sadistic father-in-law makes war.
The movie is wonderful to look at and is like few movies we have seen since. The cgi is present and very noticeable but it works because it's a fairy tale. Faun is my favorite character his costume is amazing and no he is not Pan as many people think. In fact you will be hard pressed to find anyone named Pan in this movie.
I honestly can't say much about this movie because it leaves me with a mix of emotions. All i can leave you with is the remark to go and absorb yourself in this movie for it is beautiful in every way.
Ebert's score 4 stars
Tyler's score 4 stars
