I saw this the other day and thought it was okay. When I had first heard of this movie I thought it was more child friendly but I was wrong. I did not know that it was rated r and Not for kids. Have you this this movie and what did you think of it? I can not seem to get the tune out of my head.

Very good movie, I like it. About the ending, I read some review about the movie, I want to say, the whole story was only happen in the little's imagenation, whe just want to preotect her mother and her baby brother from the cold life with her imagination from the fancy stories.

I think you are right about the whole blood spilling and becoming the princess. It took her to sacrifice herself in order for that to happen. A princess should help protect others which she did and why she became one in the end.

I saw it a few months back and I really adored it. The violence was really quite shocking though, there were a few scenes that I simply couldn't continue watching. In that aspect this movie really isn't meant for children. Still, excellent movie.

There was a scene or two that I just could not watch. Like the one where the guy stitches himself. My hubby kept trying to get me to look but I could not.

I saw this movie too a few days ago. I absolutely loved it. It was a great fairy tale. Granted, it was a too graphic for little ones. But if you think about the old classics like Hansel and Gretel, this was no more violent than that. Definitely, not kid appropriate!! But the story was beautifully done. I cried a bit near the end.

I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list of movies that I want to watch. I also thought it was more child friendly, but someone told me exactly the same thing you did. I want to watch it though, the trailers got me curious :)

I completely had thought it was supposed to be a kid movie at first. I do have to say this though. It is in Spanish. I did not know that it was.

I haven't seen it yet, but intend to. Yes, for all intents and purposes it looks like a bad acid trip! I knew it wasn't for faint-of-heart kids! When I was a teenager, I went to see "Labyrinth" just to see David Bowie playing the Goblin King! I went with my older girlfriends from high school, and we all loved it. We thought of it as a kid's movie that was catering to adult Bowie fans. ;) I'd be glad to come back to this discussion as soon as I've seen the movie. So tell us, which creature scared you the most? I've been seeing pictures of Pan that scared the heck out of me...!!!

Pan was pretty creepy. It is no "Labyrinth" I tell you that. Someone on another forum had explained that Pan's Labyrinth is like a Tool video. I don't know if it is or not since I have never seen one but my hubby does agree with that person.

I thought it was very good but got a bit confused with the ending. I especially liked the scary creature that had eyes in its palms!!!

I was crept out by that guy too. What did you not get about the ending?
