Pan's Labyrinth ? - Blu-ray Forum

Mr.White · 03-10-2009, 04:28 PM

I know this is an odd ? I'm thinking about getting Pan's Labyrinth on Blu (Target has it for 19.99,and I have a 10 GC,that would make it 10.99 after Uncle Sam's share) I've never seen the movie and do not speak Spanish(there is no English dub option,and the DVD does'nt have it either),are the subtities good with this title,I know this is an odd question but I've bought movies in the past w/ terrible English translations,usually Kung Fu filcks,I'm serious! I've heard it's a killler movie though,I also noticed one name in the cast is not Spanish,Doug Jones! I loved Hellboy I and II,should I pick it up? Another odd ?,are the subtitles in yellow or white,not that it matters! Are the extras the same as the 2 DVD SE? I DO LOVE A GOOD MOVIE!!!

highly highly highly recommend this! the extras are the exact same, and the PQ and AQ are absolutely incredible. the subtitles are always detracting for me for the first few minutes (pretty sure they are white here), then i completely forget about them. go pick this up!

PH3AR · 03-10-2009, 04:31 PM

I love this movie!

i own on dvd but gonna upgrade to blu reaal sooon!

The subs are proper English- no errors that I can remember. (That drives me nuts too- I'm an English major.

)

Even if you did know spanish, you still wouldn't understand half of it. It's in cotillion spanish. I highly recommend it.

+1

The dialogue is paced very slowly and is super easy keep up with. I am a slow subtitle reader, but this was a cakewalk. Plus, it's an awesome awesome movie. I said awesome twice for a reason.

Mr.White · 03-10-2009, 04:36 PM

Thanks ya'll,gonna go pick it up!!!

Still haven't seen this movie. TMNHD had it for a while but it's been since before Christmas that it was on, rather see it on HD first and see what it's like. I heard quite a lot of good things but I am always very afraid of buying things without seeing them first.

Monkey · 03-10-2009, 04:40 PM

I bought it a long time ago on HD DVD (hey it was dirt cheap fire sale and blu wasn't available)..

I really enjoyed the movie, that said it isn't a movie I want to watch often as it is very disturbing/bruatl.. yet very beautiful.. Can't really describe it better without spoiling it.

Sussudio · 03-10-2009, 04:41 PM

enjoy it!

and thanks for not making a poll

This movie is fantastic. Yes the film is in Spanish and if you don't mind reading subtitles this film is worth it. The visuals and stories are amazing and the directing is top notch.

The exact reason for me to watch it again.

Pondosinatra · 03-10-2009, 04:44 PM

Awesome movie, but be forewarned, I've seen it twice and each time I was literally sobbing like a baby at the end of it.

I actualy prefer watching movies in the original language (I always watch anime in Japanese) with the sub titles, unless it's a movie from France, well not always I speak French Canadian, I sometime need the sub titles on French movies

+1 directing is great!

but it isnt my favorite Guillermo del Toro movie...

Blade 2 is!!!

even thou i like the 2 hellboys Blade 2 is clearly his best!

thedarkangel1975 · 03-10-2009, 04:52 PM

If you you like Pan's Labyrinith you will love The Devil's Backbone.

Chuck Norris Inc · 03-10-2009, 04:53 PM

I'd rent it first but the movie was outstanding. I bought it but have since sold it.... replay factor wasn't as great on this one.

Again though - highest rec on the movie itself.

And I'd agree with the post above - Devils Backbone and Orphanage are both steller.
