A Visual and Imaginative "Fairy Tale for Adults"

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2007)

I first heard about Pan's Labyrinth a few months ago, and wanted to see it ever since. Everyone kept on saying it was a fantastic film, and within the Top Ten movies of this past year. So, when this film finally came to the theaters in my area, I quickly jumped at the chance to watch it. I must say that it has to be one of my all time favorite films.
First, the visuals and computer graphics were awe-inspiring. Second, the script was flawless, although some people will, of course, figure out some minor mistakes. The ensemble cast was incredible.
This film takes the viewer on a journey through Post-Civil War Spain, and the fantasy world Ofelia discovers. Once one reaches the, quite shocking, conclusion, one cannot help but feel so many emotions at the same time, never has a movie done that to me before. Each scene of this movie is vital to the plot, and the characters are more than believable. Watch this movie, and enter the mesmerizing world of Pan's Labyrinth.
