What a well-acted and well-written movie! I absolutely love this movie! Actor Tony Goldwyn of 'Ghost', 'The Boys Next Door' and 'The Pelican Brief' directed this movie.

Well worth the money.

In brief, this is the best movie I've seen in a number of years.  Others here have extolled it's many virtues, so I'll be brief.  Buy it!  Yes, sight unseen, as I did after reading the Amazon reviews.  The bottom line is that this is a story about love: the love of family, of place, of good food, of community, of sharing, of friends, of self, and the overcoming of the barriers borne of suspicion, prejudice and jealousy to arrive at a profound acceptance of, and love for, another.  It also is a story about courage -- the courage to take the first steps in that one hundred foot journey.  The scenery is gorgeous, the story-line is both powerful and delightful, the photography is top-notch, the music is varied and utterly pleasing and the acting so outstanding that each character is fully credible.  Helen Mirren shines, but so do each of the other actors.  Why on earth was this movie somewhat of a sleeper?!  It's simply outstanding!  Buying it was the best money I've spent in a long time.

Yes, I know it's a musical. However this is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Yes, I am a chick. The colors pop like tropical feathers, the characters' faces are illuminated by the camera like portraits. I saw this on the "big screen" when it first made the art cinema circuit. I was captivated. I have been trying to own a copy ever since. Now I have to decide if I can afford to spend this kind of money on a VHS, know what I mean?

Anyway, I dare you to watch this movie without being transported by the glorious melange of sets, performances, costumes, the portuguese language, and the unbelievably engaging indigenous dance and music that majically filter through Hollywood conventions withough losing their authenticity.

Punk Rock!

This film is one of the few "Masterpieces" of cinema that truly lives up to it's accolades. The story is both oddly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time; that is no easy feat. Visually the movie is absolutely a feast for your eyes on HD DVD! The lead actors are all charismatic and in full command of their characters ( especially the young Ophelia). I was particularly impressed with the work of Doug Jones as the Faun ( and as the horrifying "Pale Man").I strongly recommend this to any Adults that still have a imagination and also to those that long gave theirs up. This movie is definately not for the young although it IS for the young at heart.

Pan's Labyrinth will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.

This movie was beautiful - the story, direction, and visually. Might be one of the best animated movies I have ever seen - and yes, that includes all the Pixar flicks, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle and so on. I can't recommend this enough!

This movie was breathtaking from start to finish.  Johnny Depp, as usual, proves that no matter what type of character he plays, he plays it well (ok, except for Willy Wonka, which seemed like a bad impression of Michael Jackson!).  And for the boys, they were incredible, especially Freddie Highmore, who I want to steal and make him my own kid!  He has exceptional talent: you smile when he smiles and you cry when he cries.  Kate Winslet, is gorgeous, despite the fact that she is sick in the movie.  Dustin Hoffman also gives some funny line while looking very rigid!  This movie has some very silly parts that has you laughing like a kid and it also had some very serious parts, which will have you weeping.  Both sides of the movie are fantastic and the best part is that you won't find a lot of cursing to ruin a good movie.  I think this shows Hollywood that you don't need filth to make a great movie.  It's all about the plot and the actors.  As far as whether everything in this movie is accurate I'm not sure that it really matters.  The movie says that it is based on true events, so like any kind of movie like that, you will find artistic liberty to make a story more entertaining.  The point is that you will find what the impact of innocent, playful children can have on the imagination of adults.  The end result of course, is Peter Pan, one of the most celebrated and revered children stories of all time.  So grab your tissues and be prepared for an outstanding movie that never drags...it just keeps you wanting more!

One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, specially if you grew up watching Mary Poppins, which is my case. So many beautiful and nostalgic memories every time they played one of those songs :) hands down one of the best!

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have watched. It is simple and the photography is breathtaking. Kate Winslet speaks gently over the beautiful scenery and the Fox and the Child.  I have recommended this movie to a lot of people.  The amazing insight into the world of the Fox is beautiful and the gentleness of the Child is clearly shown.  I love this movie. If you are looking for an example of "Living in the Moment" this movie is perfect. If you just want to feel good - this movie is perfect!  Enjoy!!! Over and Over and Over again

I absolutely fell in love with this movie from the very first song! Guenivere (Redgrave) is very convincing, as are Arthur (Harris) and Lancelot. Harris is amazing as Athur. One feels all of his pain, his hopes,  his confusion. King Pellinore, Arthers good friend, is a welcome comady  relief. My favorite line? "How can you get a fair decision from people  so impartial?" from Pellinore. The songs are generally very lively,  although there are a few beautiful love songs. The costumes and scenery  were amazing! (Keep an eye out for the guys with lots of dark eyeshadow,  and remember, everyone in the movie has blue eyes.) The first time I saw  this movie it climbed the list to one of my favorites. Camelot is a true  classic, a must-have for broadway lovers, a must-see for anyone who has  ever dreamed an impossible dream!

This has to be one of the best movies I've seen in my life.  What an absolutely beautiful look into the human experience in life and death! And, the soundtrack is like the bow that wraps a perfect present.  If you get nothing from this movie, you're not looking deeply enough.

This movie was moving from beginning to end.  At the very beginning the phrase "Let it be hoped that every life is preceded by a great love story" about sums it up.  A film about a love that was not instant... something that could last for generations.  Simply beautiful.  The photography, fetching music, incredible acting (a lot of it done in Norwegian and German by non-native speakers)and intriguing story line that sometimes leaves you guessing at what happens to certain characters makes for a movie that you need to see several times to get the full value of.  A must see.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in years! Finally, a movie that portrays a positive outlook on the human spirit in hope, commitment to family, love. It is a movie I can watch and enjoy and be touched to tears.  It is a movie with good values--not all of us like the violence, vulgar sex  and language, and so-called "reality" of the movies made today.  This is a highly recommended production for all!  Thank you, Roberto!

This is a beautiful film. It would take a long time to describe everything that's so good about it, so here's a short list.

The voice acting is wonderful. The animation is gorgeous and evocative. There is beauty, joy, sorrow, lost love, sibling disdain and worship, a young boy growing wiser and learning to be selfless, and that's all without even getting into the magical world and adventure that take place!

I could not recommend this movie more.
