When I write that this movie is great! I mean THIS MOVIE IS GREAT!!!
Pan's Labyrinth is not just the best imported film of the year, but ever.
It combines Horror, Fantasy, Drama and Thriller into one epic movie.
All the character's are extremely well written and the story is amazing.
The special effects are gorgeous as the human story line is just as gripping.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!
The original language is in Spanish but thats just a plus for me.
Nothing put out this year in the US compares to this movie which makes
Lord of the Rings seem uninteresting.
Its violent, Its drama, Its Sci-Fi...Its just a perfect 10.
This is NOT your typical kiddy fantasy movie.
Rated R and Oscar worthy!
