Review of The Dark Crystal (1982) by Murder C — 07 Dec 2010
"The Dark Crystal" is a fantasy adventure and the first ever feature film to feature nothing but puppets, written and directed by the master of puppets himself Jim Henson. Of course with the puppetry is amazing, but that doesn't help the movie from it's poorly developed storyline.
And that's the main problem with the film, the story could have been told much better and our hero Jen is as charismatic as a block of wood. Visually "The Dark Crystal" is pretty stunning, but I found myself rather bored than entertained.
I recommend you to watch the similar but much better "Labyrinth" instead.
