WARNING! NOT FOR CHILDREN, TEENS, OR YOUTH. This movie is very very dark and those who plan to watch it for its "faerie tale" should expect only 10% fantasy. The rest is real world dark and gritty in-your-face extreme violence.

It`s absolutely GRRREAT! Again, this ain`t typical "Hollywood Crap"! People that loves Hollywood Flicks probably won`t get this, so if you`r one of them: Don`t waste your time! But if you`r looking for a flick made with hearts, go see this! You will not be disappointed.

Excellent movie. Wish they would have expanded on Ofelia`s fantasy more, but still very good. Didn`t mind subtitles at all.

Rather twisted and disturbing; it portrays a very dark outlook upon the domestic troubles of a child. The violence is both brutal and displayed on a very personal (up close) level. The plot was kind of sparatic and small and in the end I found it kind of pointless. Morally it depicted a dark loss of innosence (I think), but the makers went about it in a exceptionally different way (in the end the moral issues seemed to play a very small part). This movie is award worthy, but definetly NOT recomended for children or for anyone expecting a childhood dream.

I loved this film. i heard about it while surfing the net and wanted to see it. yet sadly it wasnt out anywhere because the tornto film festival had just ended. i waited and waited and finally got to see it two weeks ago. and it did not dissipoint. i would see this again and again and i hope to own it sooner or later. this take so many of the legends i love and puts then on film. this shows the dark yet beautiful side of fantasy instead of what we normally see. the fluffy and cutsie side. this film was wonderfull and haunting. the subtitles did not bother me i was too wrapped up in the film. this is my kind of movie. now excuse me while i go

Pure perfection.

This movie is fantastic! Acting and story line are superb. I would definitely buy the DVD for this. In case you do not know this, Pan is the goat! :) I recommend this movie to everyone, except for the kids. Some scenes can be frightening!

"boo hoo....it was in subtitles"...stop crying you babies .

The story is great! It`s very entertaining! It combines fiction with history. It has some violence because shows the war cruelty in order to describe one the characters. Despite of this it deserves 5 stars. I recommend you. advice: It is not suitable for children.

I hated this movie. The violence was ghastly - why, why, why, is it necessary to show such scenes as the captain clubbing into someones face with a bottle ?? Ivana Baquero is no Keisha Castle Hughes, it was very hard to sympathise with her wooden and brainwashed appearance. Nothing was new about this movie, you could predict every single scene just by looking at the captain. The spanish was guttural and hard to listen to. The CGI was amateurish and the whole feel of the movie was hard and grating. I walked out of it it was so AWFUL.
February 13, 2007
Oh how i feel sorry for those who miss this movie! Without a doubt one of the greatest movies i`ve seen and will remain with me for the rest of my life...can`t wait to own it.
February 13, 2007
Typical del Toro film.I was not disappointed. Great visuals but I wish I could have seen more of the Labyrinth. Don`y mind sub-titles as long as the movie is good, which it was.
February 13, 2007
As once being a child I kind of identified myself with little Ofelia, should`t we all!? at that age we all fantasys to face with the reality and horrors of life, now being much more older I seek that within myself......but I guess it`s just impossible! but at least through Ofelia I was able to; very good movie I gave 4 stars!

This movie dredged up memories of Hemingway`s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” with had a liberal dose of dark, foreboding fantasy thrown in; the result is nothing short of spectacular. The acting was wonderful; the cinematography was superbly done. The concern by many, about the subtitles, is unfounded; in fact, I thought the subtitles added to the magical effect of this movie. Be forewarned, this movie is not for the faint of heart, and is definitely not for small children. 5 Stars. R.A.N.

JUSt AMAZING..i personaly am not spanish...so yes, i did read the subtitles. However the movie was made in such a way that they get a maximum meaning of a situation in the lowest amount of words. So the visuals were more telling the words. Just Amazing, the moood gets set perfectly in the beginning. The ending is no less then perfect. Thank you for making such a story-rich movie.
February 12, 2007
best of the year for sure, and the fact that it stayed true to it`s language made it even better! If you don`t like the subtitles go see Norbit...
February 12, 2007
Excellent juxtaposition of cruelty and kindness, dark and light, reality and fantasy. However, this juxtaposition extends to the plot as well, which, at first, can`t decide if it is a historical drama or a fantasy trip as the storyline develops. Eventualy, thought, one plot line wins over the movie and as it reaches it`s climax the viewer is left feeling tantalized but laments not having been given more.
February 12, 2007
Absolutely the best film I have seen in ages. It is refreshing to see a movie that actually portrays the darkness of fantasy and not glitter it up or gloss it over with unrealistic endings (Let`s leave that to Disney). The whole story was moving and beautiful. Engaging to say the least, you feel for the little girl, and you are genuinely kept in suspense about the overall plot of the movie and its ending. Yes it is violent, but most fairy tales are when read in their original text, and besides there is nothing wonderous about war.
February 12, 2007
If you used the word Brilliant to describe this movie, thought it was a work of art or walked out of the theatre thinking that this movie was anything other than a B rate flick which used a bad mix of mythology and graphic violence to distract the audience from it`s almost none existant plot. ...if you met any of the above conditions than you should probably stop reading this, `cause your "Life Partner" is waiting for you down at Star Bucks with his Double Latte Capachino Espresso Frapachino.

This movie was stupid. It was so dissapointing. and NOBODY said it was in subtitles!! What a waste of time!
February 11, 2007
THIS MOVIE WAS UNREAL. WHEN I WALKED OUT OF THE MOVIE I THOUGHT IT WAS GRUSOM AND SAD BUT WHEN I LIED IN BED THAT NIGHT I REALILIZED HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS AND HOW BEAUTY AND THE BREUTALITY ALL ROLED UP INTO ONE MOVIE
February 11, 2007
Fantastic.
February 11, 2007
This was an absolutely brilliantly , written, acted production.You have to be an imbecile not to realize that it would be in subtitles (its a SPANISH production people)And why are we so focused on the words, for once and this is very rare I visually joined the little girl in her escape from a horrific reality. Pan`s Labyrinth was what film making is its only a shame that more people could not realize this.I give it 5/5!!
February 11, 2007
So long as you dont mind subtitles the movie is superb. Too bad most people are to F*`in lazy to read a little. The movie was masterfully done, and the story to it is outstanding. Many subtle allusions to biblical and greek/roman mythological stories, but that just makes it more interesting. Go see it! Def. gets 5 stars!
February 11, 2007
I loved this movie... I saw it while I was on vacation with two of my friends, and I admit that the subtitles threw me off at first as well. It hadn`t been advertised as a Spanish movie, so I was a little ticked at first. But the 8.50$ was well spent, for the art direction in the movie alone. A brilliant film that`s very moving, and I`m going to see it again with a different friend tomorrow. -Mk

Superb, moving, creative, intense, good special effects, too bad some people can`t read anymore
February 10, 2007
Brilliant!
February 08, 2007
What a waste of time!! I could have stayed home and done laundry. My friend and I were very disappointed with this movie. Nothing like the previews showed and mostly very violent and negative. Definitely not for kids. Also, no knowledge that this movie was going to be sub-titled. WOW---wish I would have got my money back!
February 08, 2007
Just Brilliant!
February 07, 2007
An extremely imaginative and beautifully put together movie, truly deserving of an award. This magical movie is a refreshing change from typical Hollywood entertainment and well worth seeing in theatres.
February 06, 2007
i don`t understand why people are making such a big fuss about subtitles, the movie was done with such genuine talent, and i agree there was false advertising regarding it being a foreign film, but it was such an amazing film that it shouldn`t matter if it was in subtitles or not, it wouldn`t of been as good in english. if you found the movie interesting you forgot about reading the subtitles and read them like a language you were hearing instead, reading was not even on my mind, i myself don`t know any spanish and still thought the movie was amazing!
February 06, 2007
phenomenol movie, didn`t go into the movie expecting subtitles, but the movie was so good you forget about the subtitles 5 mins into the movie. the movie was done SO well! ****1/2
February 06, 2007
This was an outstanding movie. For those people who complain about subtitles and `reading a movie`: I feel sorry that the movie was lost on them. Since when did reading a few lines become so much work? I am glad that the poster nor the previews did not let on that it was subtitled otherwise most people would have gone to watch `epic movie` instead.
February 06, 2007
I gave it 4 stars because yes it was a good movie but I was hoping for more fairy tale. Alot of it was baisically a war. Agreed it was pretty graphic. Also.... SPANISH??? I don`t know a word of spanish and it got aggrivating having to read subtitles. The story line was really neat though. And what there was of the fairy tale (not much) was really cool. I don`t know if I`d consider this a theater movie but a rent at home. It was good though and I erge people to rent this when it does come out.
February 06, 2007
Yes, it was in subtitles and YES it was a fantastic movie. I know subtitles are not for many moviegoers but I myself do not mind it and if it doesn`t bother you as well I highly recommend this movie. NOT FOR KIDS as I would not allow my 10 yr old son to watch this for some very graphic violent scenes but for adults who like fantasy and a great story ... go see it! Something I would definitely watch again, subtitles or not.
February 05, 2007
Wow, some people are saying it was horrible and complaining about subtitles?? Would you rather it have been dubbed? This was a very excellent film and was not what I was expecting. I would recommend this if you watch foreign movies and don`t buy into the big budget P.O.S. movies they put out again and again.
February 05, 2007
Awesome movie. Loved it. And to the person who asked "who was Pan" and gave the movie a half star ...it was the faun, sheesh
February 04, 2007
2 hours of my life I will never get back again. My husband, however, loved it. I think we must have been in two entirely different theatres. Highly disappointing, much hype for what amounted to something entirely pointless, and non-sensical.
February 04, 2007
Brilliant film, not recommended for children, beautifully done!
February 04, 2007
This was a great, original movie. I would watch it again.
