I had personally never heard of it, until a group of friends recently screamed at me to go see it ASAP. So naturally, I read up on it. The official website looks wonderful, and rotten tomatoes LOVES it.

I'm going to see it this weekend. From the little that I've read, it basically sounds like evil muppets for adults. Or something.

Good movie. Don't expect too much screentime of the fantasy creatures or any backstory behind the Underworld.

There's a couple of threads floating around here on it already. You'd be better served to read those.

A better description would be a fairy tale for adults.

I searched, sorry. I can't help if other people can't spell properly, or used a cryptic title.

Searching for "labyrinth" yields plenty of results.

It was good, but not like OMGWTFBBQ good. I would still take Matrix or LOTR over it. It was kinda like Children of Men, well filmed, but lacking that spark to make it match the hype. Better than Children of Men IMHO.

Hmmm... you're right. Searching for that does yield results; results with "Pan's" in them too. But when I searched for "Pan's Labyrinth", nothing comes up for some reason.

Not your fault. Search is absolutely fvcked. It's all about trying different things.
