Review of Labyrinth (2003) by Arny B — 28 Apr 2011
Ah... Labyrinth. What a fascinating film. One of the 80s very best fantasy movies. The plot is pretty simple: girl must reach the center of a gigantic labyrinth to save his brother from the Goblin King. Besides being an interesting story considering its simplicity, it's also very well executed.
The acting is one of Labyrinth's strongest points. David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly just shine in their roles. They have great chemistry together and they have a lot of fun playing their characters. And speaking of characters, Labyrinth is full of colorful and imaginative creatures and places. It's obvious the filmmakers really spent a lot of time into crafting this rich world, wich really comes alive thanks to the Henson's puppetry work.
Another thing to recognize in this wonderful movie is the music. Both score and songs serve well to the mood, specially David Bowie's compositions, wich were made specially for this film.
If you feel like watching a wonderful pre-CGI age fantasy movie, Labyrinth is the one you're looking for.
