Directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the guy who did Hellboy. This flick looks awesome and has been getting some good reviews. It looks like a fairy tale dream turned into a nightmare. Can't wait to see this one.

Innocence has a power Evil cannot imagine.
That is cool.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
[B]Cronos & The Devil's Backbone[/B] are both amazing films, this one will be for sure.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
I keep watching the trailer. Looks really good. Finally a fantasy movie Rated R.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
^^yeah it is supposed to be pretty bloody
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
:Bingo:
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Possibly film of the year for me.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
You saw it?
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
it's a very good film and a lot darker than i expected. great spanish cinema, great effects,great story. reminded me of playing a game of zelda at times.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Cool. Can't wait to see it.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
yeah want to see this too!
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Second best film of 2006 IMO, only after 'The Departed' which is a fine example of how to remake a film well.
I await his next film [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813981/"][COLOR=#0000ff]3993[/COLOR][/URL] (2009).
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Looks absolutely wicked. Alice in Wonderlan meets Labyrinth. Kinda reminds me of Mirrormask but much better realized and executed.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
More like Hellraiser than any of those. Either way it's a great fable.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
highly overrated imo, 7/10
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Opening here on Jan 11, looking forward to it :D

:lol:
I'd like to see your top 5 films for 2006 if you thought this was overrated.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
When is this thing gonna have a full release?
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
I have to say, the first 30 min were slow. However, the movie was beautifully done and the message that it slowly diffuses through your mind is so elegant and so simple.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Just came back from it, still mulling over the film. It's defintely well done, that's for sure, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My date thought it was weird and wouldn't recommend it to friends :rolleyes:
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
hehe...second date?
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
this STILL hasn't been released here...not out till the 19th. rarely do i have this much desire to see a flick.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
I know what you mean. No release in these parts yet.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
one of the best movies I've seen in 2006 ... definitely recommend this
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Damn...be released already.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
[QUOTE=Lorn;432440]hehe...second date?[/QUOTE]
Ha! I'm actually debating if I should :what
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
try bringing her to some movies with mindless action sequence and big explosions next time ;)
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
from the trailer alone, it looks like it will be a fantastic movie.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
[quote=feather;434734]Ha! I'm actually debating if I should :what[/quote]
If you need to debate, don't do it.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
I agree that it is rather slow at the start...sorta seems like a childrens movie....but by the end, its clear this is no childrens movies. The "monsters" are fantastic, especially the albino chap! I'd like to know what sort of trip the writier was when he created this.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
yes!!!! this just opened today at my local arts theater. im checking this out next week fo sho.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
Me too. Damn excited.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
hellz yeah
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
finally caught this...
what an incredible piece of cinema. if this doesn't win the oscar for foreign language film, it will be a travesty.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
it didnt win for golden globes :(
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
^^^ probably wasn't the highest bidder. Looks amazing imo. Something like La vita e bella with sfx
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
I finally got to see this tonight. this movie is way more violent than I had expected. there were quite a few scenes that my girlfriend had to turn away from. that dude feasting at the table :shock:
awesome movie, 5 pickles for sure.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
well, it only got nominations for best foreign language film and best original screenplay, but i'm hoping it wins both...

5 pickles is good enough for me.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth
just saw this - great images and effects, definetly stomach churning at times; great idea for a story.
My only negative comment is that they didnt really bring the two storylines together with enough force at the end. They sort of left it up to you to decide the interpretation of the story, which in some cases is fine - but they had the entire movie leading upto bring the two peices togehter and they didnt really do that well in the end.
Still an excellent film, well worth watching.
