Anyone seen Pan's Labryinth? |
|
I'm thinking of seeing it this weekend and just wondered if any of you good folks could advise me to either rush to the theater with all speed! or if I should just wait for it to come out on DVD?

4. Luckily, I live in NYC |
|
And we get the cool movies early.
I've heard the same (that it's good), but I don't know anyone who's actually seen it. Hate to drop $11 and kill my afternoon without some sort of personal recommendation.

I have seen the filmmaker's earlier work "The Devil's Backbone." Seems a similar theme- a young kid stuck in the Spanish Civil War, runs into supernatural occurences...
That was fairly good, worth a rental.

6. I've seen good reviews |
|
But I don't actually know anyone who's seen it. I'd like to know if it's Good good or just arty/weird good before I spend the money and time going to the theater.

7. Run, run, run to the cinema! |
|
Easily one of the best films of 2006 and is one that really warrants the big screen. If you want a really enthusiastic kick up the bum to see it, listen Mark Kermode's review on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/fivelive_aod.shtml?fivelive/kermode241106(starts about 10 minutes in)

9. I'm thinking about seeing it myself |
|
just on the grounds that Doug Jones, the guy who played Abe Sapien in Hellboy, is in it. I thought he did a fantastic job.

This is one of the best films I've seen recently. Excellent visual effects, excellent story. It is absolutely a wonderful film. I'm now officially a part of the cult of Guillermo del Toro.

and LOVED it! It's a very absorbing story, more violent than I expected.. the picture is very interesting and the sound great so I would suggest seeing it in the theater unless you have a good home theater.
