Movie Reviews of The Dark Crystal
Movie Review: Henson's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a masterpiece. Many people consider "Labyrinth" to be Henson's best movie, but "Dark Crystal" has an incredible mysticism associated with it that no other movie has been able to develop. I only have one complaint about this movie: it was too ambitious for the budget alloted to it. This is especially noticable in some of the sets, which are often too small, and that some of the lighting was not as good as one would expect. However, this movie more than makes up for those shortcomings with story, the excellent directing, and some of the best animatronic puppets ever created. This movie is one of a kind. No one else has ever made anything like it, and this is totally different from anything else Henson ever created.Movie Review: One of my all time favorite movies now on DVD!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
No words can describe this flawless and brilliant fantasy classic from Jim Henson. The Story deals with a Elf-like being called a Gelfling who's called " Jen" and must return a Crystal Shard back to the castle of the Dark Crystal before the Vulture-like Monsters called " Skeckis" take over the world and the universe. Entertaining, breathtaking and stunning movie that is one of those that changed my life forever. The Disk here is sharp, clear and meant to be in Widescreen with extras that you fans of Dark Crystal can own.Recommendations: Labyrinth, The Last Unicorn, The Hobbit, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Return to Oz, Willow, Total Recall, Stargate, Dune, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Heavy Metal and Highlander.
Movie Review: Absolutely Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Henson was an absolute genius. I can't state this enough. Labrynth, the Dark Crystal and many other movies and television shows (that were way ahead of their time) just show how much of a genius and shows the attention to detail he offers. This movie drags you into their world and is quite believeable in all ways, shapes and forms. He was an artist and an entertainer and this is just more proof that he'll never be forgotten in the timeless Dark Crystal.I saw this in the theatres when I was a little girl and it did scare me a lot, the Skekzes (sorry about the spelling if it's incorrect) and some other characters scared me, but it should be enjoyable by most, if not all children and adults (I was just a very "chicken hearted" child).
Movie Review: THIS ROCKS! Truely one of the best Movies i ever seen.
Summary: 5 Stars
back in 1982, i was a kid and i loved this Movie even though it was a little creepy but still never a dull moment entertaining. this goes on my list of the best Movies i ever seen with ID4, Star Wars, The Last Unicorn, The Hobbit, Labyrinth, Transformers: The Movie, Watership Down, Princess Bride and so much more. if you enjoy these Movies even with Sci-fi, Animation and Fantasy then you and your Kids will love this Movie. i would also recommend these Titles to go with this Movie and i would also recommend " Dune", " Legend", " Time Bandits", " Record of Lodoss Wars", " Secret of NIMH", " Pokemon: The First Movie", and " Stargate".Movie Review: The Dark Crystal Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic. Jim Henson had a hand in it, and it is about a small looks like a teenager-type male who has to take a crystal shard to heal a larger crystal that is being controlled by these evil and UGLY larger characters (and I DO MEAN UGLY) called Skeksis. If he doesn't get the shard to the main crystal in time the world will blow up. Although this movie could be watched by children, and enjoyed by them, I think it was mostly made for adult entertainment. There are a lot of adult concepts. No nudity, no language, no situations unsuitable for children. This movie is a lot of fun, and the Henson characters are amazing, they are so beautifully done. Great movie, a great addition to any library.
