Movie Reviews of Jim Henson's Fantasy Film Collection - (Labyrinth / MirrorMask / The Dark Crystal)
Movie Review: Good movies, all
Summary: 5 Stars
I know some people have said that I'm not a die-hard Labyrinth and Dark Crystal fan for saying I liked Mirrormask. I'm reviewing on my Mom's account and I'm 17, so the only reason I had seen the first two was because my dad's a music teacher and showed Labyrinth to me when I was about five. Dark Crystal I saw seven years later when he got a collector's boxed set of the two. Unfortunately, I couldn't see Mirrormask in the theater, but I got it from Netflix soon after it came out on DVD. Now to actually review:
I grew up watching Labyrinth, and was singing along with it by the time I was six. This movie was great fun to watch, and with the absence of CGI, most of the puppets were very convincing to me. As a kid, I would wish I could follow Sarah into the labyrinth, meet Ludo, Hoggle, and the rest. At that point, I didn't know that I couldn't, and the surroundings looked so real.... But I'm getting off topic.
Dark Crystal had a very interesting storyline. Augra was very funny, and I like the line Kira says to Jen when he is in awe of her actually having wings. I haven't seen this one quite as many times as I've seen Labyrinth, so I don't really have as much to say about it.
I liked Mirrormask because it was in a more modern setting. Although it was compared to the Wizard of Oz in a review, it is very similar to Labyrinth, except that the main character, Helena, is a bit younger than Sarah. That and she's not trying to save anyone, really, she's just trying to find a way to get home.
So, everyone's entitled to their opinions, but I think they were all good movies.
