People are having a lot of illusions about this film!

Rating: 1/10 (6 February 2007)

In Reality, Pan's Labyrinth is a bad movie.
By saying this, I don't mean to deny the astonishing power of the film for the power to astonish and touch millions of people around the world, in this case, does not come from Pan's Labyrinth being a brilliant film or a great piece of art(as a movie) but it comes from powerful, hypnotic and mostly violent visual images that are brilliant art in their own way but they are not a gift for the human soul, they are not enough for a great movie. This kind of powerful pictures of violence, evil and oppression can catch the attention of the spectator and hypnotize but they don't produce a harmonious and whole "story-experience" which should be the result of watching a real masterpiece.
It might take some time but I think people will realize that Pan's Labyrinth was just a big soap bubble.
