Metarie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 having seen Pan's Labyrinth last night I've got to say I thought it was totally over rated. It's been marketed as a creepy monster film and it concentrates more on family stuff and the Spanish Civil war. From that aspect it was a really good film, but from the fairytale aspect I was really disappointed, it needed more monsters and a less cheesy ending.The Pale Man was ace though, he should have been in it for longer.

I've not seen anything advertising it as a straightforward monster film. How odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Actually, I've not seen it really advertised as such, I mean the interviews I've read and the such like seem to promote it as more of a fairy tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost tempted to start a thread with a spoiler warning. But I should be working. So maybe later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'd like to add The Prestige to my list after FINALLY seeing it last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
