This is one of those rare occasions where I wasn't totally sure how I felt until, to my surprise, the ending just nailed me.

Unsure how I felt about this. I definitely appreciated the special effects and acting, the girl who played Ofelia was BRILLIANT, however it left me a bit queasy and stunned. I felt it was more about the evil Capitan getting his come-uppance than being a story about Ofelia. It was, in a way, a happy ending, but it not leave me feeling like it was. The flipside is that those reasons are what makes it brilliant.

I think it's a great film. The actors play very well and the special effects are really great. For me personally this is really in the top 10!

One of the most beautiful films ever made--I say that honestly and with no hyperbole. It's a serious favorite of mine and if you have the DVD, Del Toro's audio commentary is insightful.

Diantre quelle déception! Voilà ce qui se passe quand on s'attend à voir un chef-d'oeuvre. C'est pas spécialement mauvais, l'univers est intéressant et on se prends volontiers dans l'intrigue. Mais la violence est gratuite et presque injustifiée, la petite fille est insipide (et certainement mal dirigée), etc. Ce film est dérangeant, c'est pas un navet c'est une certitude, mais je reste cruellement sur ma faim.

There are some kind of fantasy you could say it's almost touchable.

An entertaining fairy-tale for adults. Pan's Labyrinth is unlike anything you have seen before! Guillermo del Toro is a masterful filmmaker. Don't miss this scary and enchanting film with characters you'll love and a tale you'll never forget.

The ghoul with the eyes on his hands looks like Senator Mitch McConnell.

Admittedly harrowing. Is its simpleness a virtue or a flaw? I can never quite decide.

Fantastic! It's sensible and innocent. Just showing how a child can see a world during a war!!!

An elegy to the dark gift of the imagination, the mermaid's capacity to drown in dreams when this waking life gets too cruel. The young anima is meant to be nurtured, not brutalized. Pan pipes his tune; we pay the price.

It's the much darker version of Alice In Wonderland!

Great meld of genres from the pen of guillermo del toro. Del Toro's best film to date is this imaginative hybrid of the spanish civil war film and gothic horror/fairy tale. A memorable tale highlighted by a strong script, original creature design and fine performances by young Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu and especially Sergei Lopez in the role of one of the screen's great villians.

Not perfect, but the cinematography prevails.

this is a fairytale framed around a world of cruelty and truth. Guillermo del Toro's imagination is extremley vibrant in this film. at once creepy, unsettling, and beautiful, a little girl is trying to make sense of the real world in the midst of being involved with faerie-like creatures.

One of the few adult fairy tales that sticks with you long after you watch it.

En veldig annerledes film enn jeg hadde forestilt meg, men på en positiv måte!

bel finale ma film deludente. belle parti oniriche, noiose e già viste le parti "reali".

When I saw this film I just couldn't reconcile that the man who made it was the same who made Hellboy. I highly recommend Charlie Rose's interview with del Toro (and Cuarón, and Iñárritu from the year of the three amigos: http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/81 The man has such an imagination!
