They were made during the height of the Lord of the Rings ROTTK Oscar craze to cash in on fantasy appeal. Pan's Labyrinth is DEEP, and not at all a light-hearted fantasy film.
Pan's Labyrinth was so disturbing. I still think about it.
Is it really worth watching? I watched the first full-30-minutes (not like when someone says they saw 30 min of a movie and actually only saw like 5-min, but 30-actual minutes) of it and found it so incredibly boring, I had to watch something else or I felt that my brain might implode. What's so special about this movie anyhow?
EDIT: Actually, reading a synopsis, it was more like the first 45-50 minutes of the movie. I read reviews and I never saw what the reviewers saw. I was never even sure what her imaginary world represented. And the director didn't do a good enough job to get me caring either. It's all coming back now... one of the worst movies that was hyped up to hell and back I've ever seen!
