As long as you can stand subtitles and you understand it's an adult film and not for little kids, yes.

joenostalgia23 · 04-02-2010, 07:10 AM

Yes, it is one of the best films I have ever seen.

This is easy...absolutely, one of the best movies I have ever seen...

I loved it, it's brilliant...but IMO, it doesn't have high replay value.

scott.mcw · 04-02-2010, 02:19 PM

It's a fantastic movie. I just watched it again on Sunday night.

CapnCobblestone · 04-06-2010, 04:04 PM

Excellent Movie! PQ on this disk is excellent. Here's a complaint though to see what you all think.
I notice with some of the special effects (except for Pan, the detail in his face and charater model was stunning) there was a blurriness present. For instance the eyes in that creatures hands and anything that had to do with gunshots.
I felt that almost all parts where guns were used, since it was all CGI, it took away from the realism of those particular scenes and infact looked very fake. Just an opinion.......mostly a nitpik because I thought this movie was great. Definately worth the purchase.

i blind bought this movie about the same time I bought my ps3 which was a few years back (a few months before the dark knight was released). Finally decided to watch the blu since I had the day off work....i cant believe I did not watch this earlier. The story was extremely engrossing and this film has one of the most terrifying villains in it. I would compare him to Landa's character in basterds but more outwardly terrifying.

Great flick! PQ was top notch!

I also had the disc sitting unopen for a very long time, however when I tried to access the supplements - all I got was a screen with this wispy black background and music but no text - ?!? do I have a defective copy?

I just got through watching this this morning and I enjoyed the film, but I do not agree about the PQ. I have reviewed close to 400 BD titles so I am familar with reference material. Pan's Labyrinth has some DNR as several of the closeups contain waxy faces and grain is inconsistent in the backgrounds. Also, there are a few blacks that are not resolved. I would personally rate the PQ 8/10.

actually, that's been the most noted flaw of the bluray.

Without the DNR I probably would have given it a 9/10.
