A dark imaginative adult fairy tale

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2010)

Pan's Labrynth is by far and wide one of the most original movies ever made. It is fueled by dark,fantastical imagination and throws in twists and surprises along the way. On a more emotional note the film does a fantastic job at creating realistic,fleshed out characters who all have different interesting traits,so that you will be amazed by the visuals and sympathize with the characters,making this an emotionally involving feast for the eyes. This is a fairy tale,but a very dark fairy tale to be sure,not one made for children despite the fact that the main character is a child. She is innocent and very likable and she draws us into the movie,creating much empathy for her character.Guillermo del Toro once again proves that he is one of the greatest film makers alive,filling this movie with life,imagination and dark exciting visuals. A masterpiece of the fantasy genre
