Review of Labyrinth (2002) by Jack O — 28 Jul 2018

After David Bowie died, some of the people recommending me to go and watch a film called Labyrinth by Jim Henson. Now let me get to the technicals here. I've just recently found out that the film is a box office disappointment which is crazy. I am so surprised about this after I've watched it. Aside from that, it gained a large cult following for fans of Jim Henson and The Muppets, I mean, who doesn't love The Muppets? it follows around a 15-year-old Sarah played by a really young Jennifer Connelly is on the quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her baby brother, Toby after accidentally wished him away to the evil Goblin King, Jareth played by singer David Bowie in the world of Labyrinth. Yes, like I said, everybody recommending me to watch Labyrinth. Pam told me to watch it, Tina told me to watch it and I did. And get this, I heard Tina and my friend Sam Guy singing the Scooby Doo lyrics but after I've heart it I decided to look upon it and there I've had it. David Bowie singing "Magic Dance" and I was amazed. While I'm watching it when Sarah went into the maze I finally went through the "Magic Dance" song and I said "Uh oh, we're heading for the Goblin song." I cannot believe what I've just heard from my friends singing that tune. Seriously? Listen.

"You remind me of the babe." "What babe?" "The babe with the power." "What power?" "The power of voodoo." "Who do?" "You do." "Do what?" "Remind me of the babe.".

Oh boy, it kinda reminds me of Teletubbies when they're singing and dancing and I think they can dance along to this song. So whenever I think of this song, the more I sing the other goblin song from Blackadder. "See the little goblin, see his little feet, and his little nosy-wose, isn't the goblin sweet?" "YES!" "See the lit-" "Wait a minute!" As the children who thought about this, they would think like it's the same thing as Alice in Wonderland and you know, they're right. The parents loved it too and I would say that if they're fans of David Bowie, then this IS a recommendation for everyone. The songs are unbelievably catchy however I would say that "Magic Dance" is the best song out of all of them. I know there are some that I really do like and I will humming along to them. The side characters are a lot of fun. It's kinda like The Muppets because it's Jim Henson. Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus are funny. I'm actually surprised that I'm really getting into Sir Didymus, an anthropomorphic fox. His personality is hilarious just like any other personality. I hope many of you remembers the Bog of Eternal Stench? A swamp where it smells horrible and makes farting noises. As a musical or I don't know if it's a musical, David Bowie is the best thing about Labyrinth. He plays a brilliant part as Jareth, the Goblin King. I would recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it just like Pam and Tina did to me. As a fan of David Bowie, he will always be the role of Jareth, the Goblin King and this movie will always be a cult classic for many generations.
