Good, but not great in terms of Fantasy movies

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2007)

Pan's Labyrinth is an good movie, but the problem that it has, when compared to other great fantasy movies is the amount of reality that is involved.
There are two stories involved in this movie, and I while I won't discuss the nature of either, I will say that I'd prefer the movie to have a greater percentage of fantasy.
Don't get me wrong, this is a really good movie and it is on the all time list of fantasy movies, but it has to much reality interwoven into the story.
This movie could have been great if there was more character development and a greater percentage of the movie had dealt with the fantasy world involving the main character.
