Summary: One of the best movies of all time!
Review: Labyrinth was a movie that redefined the world of fantasy.

Jennifer Connelly did a superb job! David Bowie was incredible!

I loved the plot of the movie and I loved Sarah's travels through the the labyrinth and the many creatures (Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, the "Chilly Down" gang, and the many goblins) were all really cool.

Major props to the creative talents of George Lucas and Jim Henson.

Watching this movie makes me go back to when I was little and my sister and I were singing along to all the songs like "Magic Dance" and "Chilly Down."

This is a wonderful film with a great story and I proudly recommend it for anyone!

Summary: Labyrinth: One of the best movies of all time!
Review: I just saw Labyrinth for the first time (well, as far as I remember, though a friend says-nevermind) a few days ago, but I haven't stopped thinking about it since! I LOVE it! I already have a long list of obsessions, but this one has to be on it already. I can't say enough great things about it. The story is so great, and I simply LOVE the music! My favorite song is probally 'Underground'...or whatever the full title is. 'As the World Falls Down' is a awesome song, though, too!
The scenes if this are fantastic-I love the ballroom scene!

Well, I could just go on and on, but the point is, buy it! Trust me! I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like it...

Summary: Henson+Lucas=The Perfect Team
Review: Labyrinth to me is one of those movies that seem to stay with you forever. The entire concept of the film is unique is it's nature. Imagine making a wish that The Troll King would come and take a loved one away. What if it actually did happen?? What if you had to go and rescue the loved one?? Well, in this, Sarah (Jennifer Connelly of "A Beautiful Mind" fame) wishes her baby brother Toby to be taken away, only for it to happen. Upon talking to The Troll King, played amazingly by David Bowie, she must travel through the Labyrinth to the Goblin City and face off against The Troll King to reclaim him. Over the course of her journey through the maze she encounters many interesting characters (Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Ludo, The Bog of Eternal Stench, "False Alarms" & others). Friendship, deception and betryal are just some of the obstacles that Sarah and her companions must overcome. Eventually she does make it to the castle and meets The Goblin King face to face for the fate of Toby in a battle of the minds. Will she win, or will Toby remain with the goblins forever?? You will just have to watch the movie to find that one out. But I can say that the movie is indeed a classic. It is one of the best fantasy movies of the 80's. Jim Henson and George Lucas have done a superior job of mixing great special effects with a wonderful array of puppetry. The DVD transfer is pretty good too, not top notch, but I find it to be quite well done. The extras aren't too bad either. You get a trilogy of fantasy flick trailers from the Jim Henson filmography. Additionally you get a cast/crew bio feature and a pretty good behind-the-scenes featurette. Overall, Labyrinth is a phenomenal movie that will take you to places you never imagined. I highly recommend it as is destined to be a classic and who knows, after a few viewings you might find yourself with a bit of "Magic Dance" in your soul.

Summary: Still my all time favorite !
Review: I have loved this movie for over 15 years! It has all the qualitys of a classic! The fairy tale for teens. David Bowie is his ever over the top self

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!
Review: I've loved this movie sense I can remember, even if the goblins would freak me out, i still loved it!! And i think i always will. But now that I'm older, I start to look at the movie in a bit of a new way, all the things you really have to think about, for instance the things the worm says.

A 15 year old Jennifer Connelly, and a sexy David Bowie were great picks for this flick! Bowie just has that sex appeal and magical appearance for a perfect Goblin King, if they had picked anyone else it would not be as good.

A Gem of a movie for both young and old.

Summary: Labyrinth Review
Review: The Labyrinth movie is the best. It deserves 7 stars. David Bowie is as cute as can be and Jennifer Connelly did a great job and all of the rest of the characters are the best actors and actresses in the world. I think Labyrinth should be rated the best DVD or Video. It's the best movie ever. Labyrinth is my favorite movie ever. I love Jareth the Goblin King. I don't go 1 day without watching that movie. I watch it like 200,000,000 times a day because I love it so much. IT IS THE BEST !!!I just LOVE it!!! Infact I think I will go watch it now instead of rotting my brain with this computer. Even though all I do on my computer is look at pictures of the goblin king.

Summary: Magical fantasy adventure for all ages!
Review: "Labyrinth", directed by Jim Henson, is one of my all-time favorite children's fantasies. It's about teenage aspiring actress, Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), who's sick and tired of being mistreated by her parents (Shelley Thompson and Christopher Malcolm) because she thinks her baby brother gets all the attention. Sarah soon begins to hate her baby brother and wishes that he would be taken away by evil goblins. Miraculously, Sarah's wish comes true...but now she's afraid of what might happen to her brother and wants him back. So to get him back, she must embark on a journey through an enchanted labyrinth maze to get her brother back from the evil king goblin (David Bowie). Along the way, she meets many magical creatures and defeats dangerous tasks as she learns what's really important about family.

The film's special effects were done by the Lucasfilm company (yes, George Lucas's effects company). The acting is superb from the entire cast, especially a very young Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie. The storyline is wonderful, but the DVD is lacking, with only trailers, production notes, and one documentary on the making of the film. "Labyrinth" might actually not be for all ages, since it can be a little scary...esepcially the goblins might creep some young children out. But it is still a must.

I highly recommend "Labyrinth".

Score:
100/100
A+

Summary: The best movie of all times!
Review: IF i could name any perfect movie that i have seen it would have to be this one. Its one of the best i have ever seen. I was reading some other reviews and i came across one that said something like the special effects werent that great, and it had a cheesy ending, and i am thinking to myself who cares its a great movie, its not that big of deal to have a great ending, or great special effects. That it so stupid to say. I first saw this movie at one of my friends house, and i fell in love with, so the next night i found it at a movie store and rented it, and recorded it, and now i am thinking about getting the sound track, and buying it on DVD. And my friends fell in love with it as soon as they watched it. I dont know why i love this movie so much i just do. It might be because its just great or that David Bowie is incredibly sexy, along with his voice. I really cant tell you. Bye!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The DVD could be better. The movie... hardly!
Review: Wolfgang Petersen's 'The Neverending Story', Ridley Scott's 'Legend' and Jim Henson's 'Labyrinth' could very well be my Holy Trinity of fantasy films of the 1980's. All three of them set landmarks in the genre by showing great imagination and spectacular spirit of adventure. In the case of 'Labyrinth', a movie more intended for children would prove to be the most harsh of the three by touching a subject not very uncommon: stepping into adulthood and leaving infancy forever.

Jim Henson had already delighted us with his magnificent film 'The Dark Crystal'. In this movie, he shows once again why he's one of the best puppeteers of the world. Although there are many characters in the film, only two of them are played by human actors. The rest is all puppets. This was Jennifer Conelly's first big role, and she does quite a nice job. The brave, yet sometimes overconfident Sarah manages to capture our attention even when surrounded by all the puppets and artistry of the magical world she's in, but it's David Bowie, as the Goblin King, who gets the best of the movie in a scene-stealing role. His presence alone is astonishing, and even when he could seem a little rigid in his acting moments, he feels right at home during the musical numbers, showing us why he was the one and only option for the part. I hadn't watched the movie in over 10 years, and I still loved all the songs, specially the ballroom sequence, where Sarah and the Goblin King face each other in a masquerade where the two of them are the only ones unmasked. In fact, the only musical piece that I didn't like was 'Wild Gang', basically because it doesn't feature Bowie (and the special effects are pretty lame). As for Henson's work, all the puppets are magnificent and brilliant in detail. This is specially good in the big ones, like Ludo the beast, the Helping Hands and the big robot-like creature at the gates of the Goblin City. Adults with a less 'delicate' sense of humor will crack up with the Bog of Eternal Stench.

Unfortunately, once again, fans of a good film will feel betrayed with this edition: a poor presentation, an old documentary, absolutely no commentaries (one by Jennifer Connely and David Bowie would've been the greatest thing on Earth!!) and, worst of all, a mediocre transfer. There is basically no improvement over the VHS version, neither in picture quality nor sound. Bring me the head of the Lucasfilm executive who gave the OK on this paper-napkin edition! Being realistic, I don't think a Special Edition of 'Labyrinth' is planned in the near or far future, so you'll have to deal with this one. But in spite of all this, the movie continues to be one of my favorites, a fantasy classic nobody should miss.
