Blue Steel Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 How many of you have you seen this movie? I saw just saw it and I was blown away, it was amazing.
SonOfBeastSucks Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I saw it. I usually despise fantasy/sci fi/etc related movies, but I liked it a lot.
Adriel Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I like it very much. It's a bit disappointing to see that fantasy isn't really that much in the film. But I give it a 4.5/5 because it's a very beautiful film.
riccoaster Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I've seen it my mom made me go but it was ok I just was suprized when there was subtitles.
cfc Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I thought it was excellent. I was amused during the Academy Awards when the flick won each category it was nominated in until they got to Best Foreign Film (lost one after that, too). It appears that the members of the academy liked everything about Pan's Labyrinth but the movie.
masterofthematrix91 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 i haven't seen it because it is rated R why is it rated R? anyone?
SonOfBeastSucks Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 ^Basically just violence and gore. It is pretty harsh.
c0@ster Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I'm dying to see it. Hopefully it's better than Lady in the Water.
steel Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 i haven't seen it because it is rated R why is it rated R? anyone? Very graphic violence. I loved this movie, actually. It was a little gruesome, but it was also terrifying and mesmerizing.
BiCoastal Kid Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 There were only a handful of short parts that were gruesome, but other than it's just AMAZING.
steel Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 ^I was fine until that guy had his mouth cut open. That was the one part that I wished I didn't have to see.
Gorwingel Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Gruesome and harsh but I loved it. The imagery is amazing, and the story was extremely captivating. At the end I got the biggest lump in my throat and was fighting back tears. First introduced to the director Guillermo Del Toro by Hellboy. Was very impressed by that film, so when I first heard that this was coming out I knew I had to see it. It did have some things that you really should never have to see. I do admit that I did close my eyes at some parts and became squirmish at others. But it's a really well done film, and I highly recommend it. And just to add I think it was very much robbed at the Oscars... it should have at least won Best Foreign Film.
Tömmioh Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I did also think expect it to have more fantasy in it, because of the trailer, but it was still very good though.

Speaking of Hellboy, that actually kinda put me off at first because Hellboy was so... meh. Also, I think the gore was there purposely to contrast the fantasy elements. To show the difference between adult perceptions and childhood perceptions.
Machtin Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 And just to add I think it was very much robbed at the Oscars... it should have at least won Best Foreign Film. How can you say that it was robbed an Oscar without probably even seeing one of the other films nominated for best foreign language film. If you had, you'd most likely agree with me that the winning film, "The Lives of Others", is at least on par with Pan. It just didn't stand a chance to be nominated in as much categories as Pan because it wasn't that hyped and didn't focus on cinematography and settings. Two awards Pan won, and deservedly so. But you really should take a look at "The Lives of Others". It's a mesmerizing thriller that even tells you some recent history you may not know of. If you liked "The Departed", you'll like "The Lives of Others". But back to "Pan's Labyrinth": Great film!
mmousefan Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I saw it when it was released here in mexico, before you guys on the States got it. It awesome, very touching and great makeup work. and its a mexican film
mmousefan Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 ^ its was filmed in spain but written, directed and produced by mexicans
darklingscribe Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Great film, but I found I liked the Devil's Backbone a little bit more. However, both films are awesome.
RollerC Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Is this the movie with the guy that has eye sockets in his hands(I forget his name!).
Spookbaby Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 ^ Yep, that's the movie! I personally loved the movie. I'm a big fan of fantasy films and I liked that this one was a little bit darker then your usual fantasy film. I was suprised by the gore in some spots but like I said I like that it added that darkness.
USCoaster Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I just got back from seeing the movie and I must say I was blown away. I wasn't really sure what to expect, and a bit shocked by the amount of gore in it. (I haven't looked at this thread until now.) Even with the gore, it was very beautiful and I can see why it won the Oscars that it did.
verticalzero Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I've bought this film on DVD, but not had the chance to watch it. I'll check it out this weekend if not 2 busy. It does look a good film and I can convert it to my IUBI "Portable Media Player"
