Pans Labyrinth

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2010)

I found Pans Labyrinth to be a quite enjoyable film. I think had a captivating story line and equally good characters, with the typical heros (the girl and mercedes) and Villains (the captain) fairy tale style format. The film was a basic fairy tale/fantasy style but with a definite more mature element to it as the film contained some fairly gory and scary scenes, for example the pale man and the captains murdering of the rabbit hunter with the bottle. I think that the goal of these more mature film style scenes are possibly to make the film appeal to a wider audience, although this does some what lose the younger audiences as they would no doubt find certain scenes quite disturbing. The film has some very good CGI elements to it also, nothing incredible but still quite good, a good example of this being the faun. in conclusion i found Pans Labyrinth an average film, this may be largely due to personal prefereance as i do not usually watch fantasy films but all in all an all round good easy to watch film. 7/10.
