Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
rashicar This movie was one of my favorites. My parents showed it to me and I loved it as a kid and grew to appreciate it more as I grew. Jim Henson and George Lucas worked together to make a visually stunning masterpiece. I never got the chance to see it's original release in theaters (seen as I wasn't born) but recently went to a showing of it in a theater. As if watching it at home wasn't great enough seeing it on the big screen only made me love it that much more. I still have my original poster framed and in my bedroom after all these years. I highly recommend watching it.
philrmnz Saw this at the theatre as a teenager, david bowie and jim henson?!?!? What a great idea. Loved it then and love it now. Jennifer connelly was a crush for me lol. Shes the same age as me. Loved the music especially as the world falls down. Even 32 years later its still amazing, 4K blu ray here i come!!
merelyaninnuendo LabyrinthIt contains some intriguing tricks and riddles with some sketchy characters in its first half that ante's up the game which then makes it more disappointing later, as the second half is exhaustingly cliched with a typical agenda of quest seeking where one knows its predictable climax. Jim Henson needs to work on his execution skills especially when one is creating such a feature that attracts younger crowd that seeks for more drama and meddling with emotions. Jennifer Connelly is brilliant in her performance and unfortunately isn't supported well enough by David Bowie as he fails to strike essential fear onto the audience. Labyrinth; despite of its flaws, works like a charm as its screenplay is gripping and entertaining enough to hold the audience for its short runtime of 100 minutes and deliver the complete anticipated package.
RavenGlamDVDCollector A menagerie of puppets, puppets everywhere!Got a lot of Jennifer Connelly's performances, so wanted more, research showed me this, her big vintage performance, so took the leap recently and got me the 30th Anniversary edition.Was skeptic about the puppet-fest, but settled in to watch.I have to admit, of course it is clearly a good film with a magical story-line, it is just not in my line. Jennifer Connelly started off bad, and I thought, hoo boy, in for a dismal ride at this rate, but she improved quickly, maybe the first few scenes should have been redone?Weird and wonderful stuff. Check out the Lady Godiva fairy. Hey, there's a guy prancing around in here wearing a blonde wig, looks just like Tina Turner.Just kidding. Wonderful cinematography. Cute long-haired heroine. Bright colors and lots of wondrous scenes. And, ah, yes, er, Hoggle. What have I done to deserve Hoggle? Face like Ernest Borgnine. And a very unimpressive choice for the baby, who spoils all his scenes, as all film-babies invariably do, but this particular baby was the conceptual designer's, part and parcel. Anyway... Total magic. I wouldn't have been here if not for Jennifer, but let me put it this way, however back-handed my comments might be, anything good said from the non-converted one here actually speaks more than the volumes by the straight-out fans.So, won't make a habit of this kind of stuff, but yeah, good work.
