his movie is nostalgic for kids great grew up in the 80's. It is along the same fantasy lines as "The Dark Crystal" or "Neverending Story". Jim Henson was a major part of the puppetry in "The Labyrinth" and "The Dark Crystal". David Bowie is not really the lead actor but he makes the entire film work. Jennifer Connelly also does a great job as the lead actress. Keep in mind, this film does have a corny undertone but is somehow well done in spite of it. If you like the 80's, like fantasy movies and liked the other two I mentioned, you'll enjoy "The Labyrinth". Order and get the popcorn poppin'.

Having read the book, really enjoyed the movie. Critics nitpick on the review but its not an easy book to make a film out of. Definitely worth watching.

Why haven't I heard of this movie before? It is so FunnY! Love Galifianakis! You can't go wrong with a Z. Galifianakis movie in my opinion! Even when playing diverse characters, his heart comes through. As well as his highly hysterical often unexpected humor. He is the classic "clown;" humor and sadness melded into one. The movie was cute and funny and thoroughly entertaining! Where has this movie been?

This is one of the best, in a cavalcade of great animated classics that Disney created. While the book itself was rather snarky and somewhat sarcastic, in the movie, Pinocchio was transformed from a sarcastic little brat into a creature who was often inveigled into large and costly errors because of his innocence. The fact that he didn't know any better was actually at times a saving grace as he and Jimminy Cricket found themselves in real danger, thanks to Honest John and his cohort, Gideon. Stromboli the puppet-master lived up to his name as the thundering conniving man who had enslaved Pinocchio into his service, and the chubby, cheerful, Coachman was a truly terrifying being that used the power of an island to turn bad boys into donkeys for profit, a clear warning that the face of evil isn't always an unpleasant one. Seeing the unfortunate Lampwick turning into a donkey was and still is a terrifying sight to this day as was the final confrontation Pinocchio had with Monstro the Whale, a huge creature capable of swallowing whole ships, in order to rescue his father, who had been looking for him, giving his all to become a real boy. This is one of the true gems in classic animation, and one not to be missed.....

Diane Lane steals this movie. What a subtle, heart-wrenching performance. You see the conflict, the passion, the doubt, everything. She's one of the business's great underrated actors, but she shines in this. Richard Gere reliably pulls off the role of her husband, and Olivier Martinez is entirely gorgeous and credible as the lover she can't resist.

I saw this movie when it was released, and I'm looking forward to getting the blu ray. For me, this was the best film of the year. Why the critics slammed it, I have no idea. If you missed the film in theaters, don't miss it now.
