Reviews for Labyrinth
The chaotic narrative proceeds in fits and starts, and the sights and sounds are often dated, but somehow the film's wit and wonder linger in the mind.
07/25/07
That the whole mess of Labyrinth was entertaining once to a child is a precarious gauge of quality.
03/05/03
A remarkable achievement.
05/21/03
Top CriticGreat energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production.
01/01/00
Top CriticPlays like The Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland crossed with a middling episode of "The Muppet Show" guest-starring David Bowie … suffers from a distinct lack of charm.
09/21/07
More about wacky creatures and spectacular set pieces than emotion and coherent storytelling.
06/03/04
Henson's imagination is boundless. But his movie has no pep. It's a dream in neutral.
06/29/07
Top CriticHenson's vision and the wonderful bag of puppetry tricks he turns to are enough to make "Labyrinth" a winner.
09/26/09
An innovative mix of sophisticated puppetry and special effects, Labyrinth has all the components of classic myth.
08/09/07
Top CriticFor all its visual inventiveness, there’s something inert about the late Jim Henson’s 1986 fantasy adventure Labyrinth.
03/19/03
Unfortunately, this contemporary (at least, for the era) fairy tale, directed and co-written by Muppets creator Jim Henson, never sets a timely tone beyond the 1980s. It remains disappointingly tethered to yesteryear.
08/02/07
Top CriticA long and colorful quest filled with crazy critters and creative set design.
11/15/06
A real masterpiece of puppetry and special effects, an absolutely gorgeous children's fantasy movie.
