Pan's Labyrinth (2 Viewers)

'Well that was entertaining but hardly the amazing, moving, profound fairytale/facism allegory i'd been lead to believe it was.'

My thoughts exactly.
A very good film. But it didn't shake me up like I was hoping it would

Couldn't stop humming that damn tune though.

I really liked it although maybe the fact that when I asked you about it you said
"'Well that was entertaining but hardly the amazing, moving, profound fairytale/facism allegory i'd been lead to believe it was" could have lowered my expectations. I thought the sets and characters looked brilliant, the main chap was the personification of evil and the violence was top nocth and the overall story of good Vs evil was great that said I'm also a fan of all things 'Spanish Civil war' especially Fernando by Abba.

A quick IMDB check has just told me that he directed that can of piss film 'Mimic' although he did say this about it
Guillermo del Toro was very unhappy with the film upon its release and has spoken about his displeasure publically on numerous occasions. He described the film as "like having a beautiful daughter whose arms are chopped off."

Mimic is a dog turd.

but then again I have yet to see Apocalypto)

saw that the other day and its very dissapointing, its shot on hd which doesnt suit the film at all, seems to lose all the colour and richness of the jungle.
regarding the violence, lets put it this way, i was more shocked by the violence in pans labyrinth than i was in apocalypto.

That bit in Beverly Hills Cop where the Eddie Murphy's mate gets shot in the head at the start is very violent. Didn't like it as a kid.

Eddie Murphy is not in Robocop.

Eddie Murphy is not in Robocop.

maybe not old detroit but hes definitly a badge.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Devil's Backbone is MILES better.

Actually one of the worst films i've seen this year.
IT. WAS. DREADFUL.

 

[david jatt]

Thought it was ok. Quite stirring at times but I didnt think it deserved the huge amount of critical loving up it got. Certainly not Del Toro's best.

watched this while in the grip of one of those anxiety-fuelled hangovers yesterday.

word of advice: don't watch this with an anxiety-fuelled hangover.
