    Thumbs up Pan's Labyrinth

    Got this DVD last night. Wish we had made it to the cinema for this one. A fantastic film, you forget the subtitles are there as you get caught up in the labyrinth world with the creepy faun and fairies then bumped back to the Spainish Civil War. The best film we have rented in ages.

    Indeed. I've watched this several times now and it is a truely fantastic story and a cracking film.

    Everyone I know who I've told to watch it went " urgh - subtitles... " but as you've pointed out you get that engrossed within the story you forget they are there and reading them becomes second nature.

    An excellent film. My wife has watched it on dvd twice already and I only got it at the weekend. This is an achievment as she point blank refuses to watch movies with subtitles. But thats probably because most of mine are Korean or Japanese horror flicks.

    I get really annoyed by the whole "I won't watch that, it's got subtitles" debate. Grrrr! So what? You can read can't you?

    Pan's is a great film. Just bought the Korean ltd edtion from Movietyme. £27, so a little stingy, but it's a very nice leather book effect case, and it had DTS which suits me fine.

    I really need to pick this film up, I've heard great things about it.

    And people who are put off by subtitles don't deserve to see the excellent cinematographic masterpieces which aren't in English. Their loss.
