Review of The Dark Crystal (1982) by Jes A — 23 Jun 2009
One of the most original movies I've ever seen. The actual plot isn't that original. It's basically a typical "quest" plot, but everything else is great. The design of the creatures and everything in the lands where they live are amazing.
The way they started writing the story is similar to how Tolkien started creating Middle-earth and writing the Lord of the Rings. I like how it's not nice and fluffy like all kids movies now. Yes, ALL.
There are literally no exceptions. The time of good kids movies that everyone could enjoy for reasons other than "cuteness" and fun are gone. It's so sad that Jim Henson is dead; he would have made so many great movies.
Thank God there's going to be a sequel that's going to use puppets and the same voice actors and performers and look and feel like the original as much as possible. I hope it's as amazing as the original.
