Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

philrmnz Saw this at the theatre as a teenager, david bowie and jim henson?!?!? What a great idea. Loved it then and love it now. Jennifer connelly was a crush for me lol. Shes the same age as me. Loved the music especially as the world falls down. Even 32 years later its still amazing, 4K blu ray here i come!!

cricketbat Labyrinth is a creative and wonderful movie. It was a childhood favorite of mine, and it remains a favorite to this day. I practically have the thing memorized and yet I've enjoyed finding new aspects of the movie as an adult. It features unique characters, amazing puppetry and memorable moments. I still love Ludo, I still laugh at Sir Didymus, I still sing along with the Fire Gang and I still have a crush on Jennifer Connelly (in a non-creepy way). I don't know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need Labyrinth.

minofyre-79828 Many Years ago, Charity Dawn Cook/smith/mcpharlain suggested this movie. I didn't see it until last year. What a sucky movie! I dont see what anyone saw in it. I saw it once and gave it away to someone else. emily got it.

The Movie Diorama This is what happens when you let Jim Henson make a film. His imagination runs wild and we are left with possibly the weirdest yet most creative film I've ever seen. An over imaginative teenage girl wishes her baby brother to be taken by the Goblin King from one of the books that she is reading. Bending surrealism and reality together, we join her on a quest through a labyrinth where she must find her brother before the thirteenth hour passes. There are two morals to this story. One: never recite words from a fantasy book. Two: sometimes life just isn't fair. She really should've listened to Run DMC's "and it's like that, and that's the way it is"...would've saved us 100 minutes. Glad she didn't though, because this was incredibly enjoyable. Forget about the thin story where it just consists of one crazy scenario to the other, and put aside the weird musical numbers that just gives Bowie a chance to sing. This film was all about world building, and what a world it built! Highly creative filled with imaginative details in every corner of the maze. There are characters everywhere. Characters walking around, characters in the walls, characters on characters...literally everywhere. It just reminded me of those role playing fantasy books where you have to turn to certain pages to decide the fate of your quest. Henson's famous puppetry and animatronics does not go amiss here, it gave the film life. Plus, his directing style was rather noteworthy, particularly an illusion that is presented by having the camera at a precise angle. The production values were incredible. The labyrinth itself was full of wonder, different architectural types and interesting foliage. David Bowie was menacing as the Goblin King, wanted more screen time though. A young Jennifer Connelly somehow carried the whole narrative by herself. Impressive. The ending was a tad bit cheesy but heck, this was damn enjoyable. Would've liked a more substantiating plot. But I wanted a crazy 80's fantasy adventure, and I just got that.
