izzio's Review

Summary - Perfect 5.0

I really don’t enjoy marking movies as perfect, because I feel like I put no thought into the review. For Pan’s Labyrinth, I must. This movie is just amazing to watch. The visuals are very rich, something that can only be accomplished by Guillermo del Toro. The tone is very dark and depressing, which can be a let down for some people. This is not a movie you can only watch once.

Acting - Great 4.0

Overall, the acting was very convincing. Child actor Ivana Baquero did a wonderful job with Ofelia.

Male Stars - Very Good 3.5

Very convincing, but a little over dramatic.

Female Stars - Perfect 5.0

Fantastic

Female Costars - Great 4.0

Male Costars - Great 4.0

Many of the other actors not shown as much were very good.

Film - Perfect 5.0

Guillermo del Toro’s amazing vision is what makes this movie work. His work with visuals was outstanding, and the plot was perfect.

Direction - Perfect 5.0

just plain perfect

Dialogue - Perfect 5.0

Music - Perfect 5.0

Very eerie and chilling soundtrack.

Visuals - Perfect 5.0

Some of the most amazing costumes and sets I've sen in any movie.

Edge - Sordid 3.1

Since the movie is set during war, the violence it quite a lot.

Sex Innocent 1.0

None at all

Violence Savage 4.0

Lots of disturbing, realistic violence.

Rudeness Nasty 4.4

Reality - Natural 1.0

Quite real… read “circumstantial” if you have seen the movie- it contains a spoiler

Circumstantial - Natural 1.0

[SPOILER ALERT] Although the movie looks very fantasy-like, we find out in the end, it was all in her head. A lot of kids exposed to such violence need a place to go, so they imagine a whole new world.

Biological - Natural 1.0

Physical - Natural 1.0
