Oh God.

I've seen bad movies.  I love bad movies.  I have quite a large bad movie collection.  But nothing could have prepared me for this flick.

Once Again: Oh God.

David Bowie dancing around with packed leotards.  Bad acting from every character, even the puppets!

Oh God.

It was horrible.  My wife hates my bmovies but it turns out that Labyrinth is one of her favorite films of all time.  My brain hurts.  I never want to see this again....but I might just sit through it for the sake of writing a review of it on this site...


Oh God.

Oh, c'on, it wasn't that bad. It has lots of puppets and some surprisingly dark humour (see the moment where Jennifer Connelly cast the spell over his brother without realizing, for instance). And Bowie was very funny as well.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Not even the fantastic Jennifer Connelly could save this film, and this is coming from her biggest stalker....I mean fan!  :o)

The film just didn't do anything for me.  It was horrible.

The Burgomaster

The only "L" movie worse than "Labyrtinth" is "Legend."

Hey I grew up on this movie.  I have fond memories and all.  I bought it for my sister 4 years ago and then I got it for Christmas last year.  As a matter of fact I just watch it two weeks ago.  I can see how some wouldn't like the movie being as it is a childs movie wih a lot of darkness thrown in.  But the soundtrack is awesome one must admit even if the songs don't make sense sometimes.  Also the puppets that ripped themselves apart and the stair maze scene (where Bowie is walkng upsode down) are worth watching.

Well that was fun...in a f****in' sick, terrible, not at all fun kinda way.

Fearless Freep

This was a cool movie.  Some of the tunes were fun and Bowie was pretty creepy for a 'muppet movie'  Some of the puppet f/x and special f/x were very well done

I was waiting to see how long it would take before someone would stumble upon one of my wife's other favorite films.  Atleast Legend was decent.  I was able to sit through most of that.  Labyrinth turned my mind to mush.  Thankfully sleep is a life saver.

I saw this in the theater back in 87.  It was okay...more of a kids' movie.  I do prefer it to Legend, though, which I hated--can't understand why it has such a following.

Personally I like both films equally. Just good mind numbing fun.
If God is watching us, the least we can do is be
entertaining.
