Summary: Labyrinth ~ A Master Piece From Jim Henson!
Review: I love this movie, even though it was made around the year I was born! Even though I'm a teenager, my friends and I still watch this movie!! I first saw it when I was a little girl when my babysitter brought it over because she was (at the time) in love with David Bowie. This movie is something that will never be out of date or forgotten by me & if I meet someone who hasn't seen the movie, I have them come over & we watch it! I'm happy to see "The Making Of Labyrinth" made the DVD under the Special Features. The plot is great and Jennifer Connelly's & David Bowie's acting performances are wonderful... Any David Bowie fan will love this movie & I also own the soundtrack- which is almost better than the movie itself!!! It's a great movie to remember how truly wonderful Jim Henson was and it's by far some of his best work ever.

Summary: "Now, would you go left, or right?"
Review: Labyrinth was made in 1986, yet the passage of time hasn't dimmed the spectacular demesne that unfolds before the viewer's eyes. The real world is quickly left behind as we follow Sarah - a petulant teenager with a lively imagination - on a quest to save her baby brother from the clutches of the Goblin King. With the help and hindrance of sundry fantastical dwarves, goblins, beasts, and the ilk (brought to life through the puppetry genius of Jim Henson) she has 13 hours in which to solve the labyrinth.Given the talent of Henson, the human actors were always going to face stiff competition. Jennifer Connelly plays the lovely but perpetually startled-looking heroine (although perhaps she is surprised at the clunky and unlikely dialogue she occasionally spouts). However the casting agents were spot on in their choice of the deliciously androgynous and mocking David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King. But the real stars of the show are the denizens of the labyrinth. These range from the simple yet visually effective 'helping hands', to huge hirsute beasts, to a goblin army, and some funky fire-dancers. Similarly impressive is the interior of the Goblin King's castle, which is a replica of the famous optical illusion involving staircases that appear to float in mid-air and connect to each other at impossible angles. Although there is some bad dubbing and a seemingly endless number of what must be the fakest polystyrene rocks ever to have graced the silver screen, this only minimally dilutes the viewing pleasure. Labyrinth will reward the spectator (even those who would not class a fantasy film as their normal fare) by transporting them to a captivating world where things are not always as they seem.

Summary: "It's not fair!"
Review: Labyrinth is a classic. A very memorable movie from back in the day. I remember watching it when I was younger ... and feeling like I was looking into another dimension. Lots of imagination involved with this movie. Still, when I watch it today it seems even better than ever. The DVD is great, and it brings back so many memories. It's interesting to watch it again after so many years. It is very fantasy-like, which I loved, it's almost like a dream. Kind of reminds me of 'Return to Oz.' Sarah (Jennifer Connely: Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind) is a spoiled, selfish girl at the start of the movie, but by the end of it she becomes much more mature. It's a funny, suspenseful, interesting movie, but most of all it's ... timeless. This is a great movie for anyone, anytime, anywhere. *You have no power over me.* It's definitely an adventure you'll never soon forget!

Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
Review: This movie was one of my favorites as a child, and still is. The storyline is engaging, the puppetry impressive, and the music is mesmorizing. Enjoyed by all ages. I recommend this movie to Jim Henson/Fantasy movie-lovers.

Summary: The Labyrinth of my Mind
Review: A superbly crafted work of art, that's all I have to say about this great movie.
Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), a teen with an active imagination, summons the goblins from her favorite book, the Labyrinth, to take her baby half bro Toby away. When they actually do, she must solve the Goblin King Jareth's (David Bowie) Labyrinth in 13 hours or else Toby will become a goblin forever!

Summary: A wonderful romantic, muppet faerytale!!
Review: This movie had bad reviews when it first came out, which is a shame, because it is one of the best muppet efforts. A brilliant tale of Jennifer Connelly, a young woman at odds with her position in life, no longer a child, not yet a woman, she clings to the security of her childish things as shields to all the changes in her life. In a temper fit, she wishes her new step brother to the Gobin King, Jareth, who prompty spirits him away. She begs to have him returned, so Jareth gives her a quest with a time limit, find the child at the heart of the Goblin City and she can reclaim him. The songs are super, Bowie magnificient as Jareth, and fits right in with the muppets!!! A great time - a grown up faerytale!!

Summary: 1986, What A Great Year In Movies!
Review: Labyrinth was released 27th of June 1986. This has to be my favorite movie from 1986 along with Big trouble In Little China, Ruthless People etc. You've probably heard the story a million times but It's about a girl named Sarah who wished her brother Toby away. Then regrets it and must go through a Labyrinth to save him, where nothing is what it seems. Then she reaches the castle beyond the Goblin City, where she must fight the Goblin King played by David Bowie. She defeats him and all ends well. This is my favorite movie of 1986 because it had many lessons to teach without making them obvious.

Summary: An adolescent favorite
Review: This movie became a favorite growing up. My school friends and I would sit around and drool over David Bowie. The characters are hilarious from portly Hoggle to behemouth Ludo. The music is fun and definitely catchy, especially "Dance, Magic." You'll find yourself quoting lines over and over again with your family.

Summary: ¿It¿s only for ever. Not long at all...
Review: Jennifer Connelly plays a charming performance as Sarah, a teenage girl lost in a world of her own.
She is noticed however by the King of the Goblins, Jareth , played by David Bowie, who is quite besotted with her.
Then her parents, who enrage her by not understanding her, leave her in charge of her baby brother, Toby, for the evening.
She childishly wishes that the Goblins would come to take him away , not expecting it when the next second , they actually do.
Appalled by what she has brought to pass, Sarah must embark on a quest to rescue her brother from Jareth and his zany Goblins . There she meets a host of weird and wonderful characters , and must deal some strange and unusual obstacles .
David Bowie (who as Jareth, also metamorphosizes, into an owl, at will) treats us to some of his wonderful music including 'Dance, Magic Dance' which is the highlight of the movie, and the inspiring 'Underground': 'It's only for ever.
Not long at all...
Lost and lonely...'
