Labyrinth (DVD) Reviews

I have been holding out on writing this one for quite a long time. Labyrinth is one of my favorite films. I can quote it word for word. I have the soundtrack on repeat in my car. I LOVE it. Which means that this review will probably end up being a massively long wonder gush. Oh well. First things first. Labyrinth was ...

Another of my favorite films. I just can't get enough of this film. It stars David Bowie as Jareth the goblin king and Jennifer connelly as Sarah, a misled young girl who is sick of having to look after her baby step brother. One night she gets so annoyed as her parents leave her to baby sit that she resites some lines from her favorite book and ...

Labyrinth has everything i love crammed into a movie. David Bowie, an epic storyline and spun out effects. It seems to be a film that can be enjoyed by young children as an entertaining fantasy with some comedy moments but when you watch it at an older age it has a sort of dark feeling to it, like the new "Charlie and the chocolate ...

The Labyrinth is one of my all time favourite films, featuring an excellent cast (Including David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly) and loads of wonderful songs (Performed by David Bowie, of course) - it's a magical adventure into the heart of the Goblin city. Sarah (Connelly), a young girl enchanted by fairytales and stories of the Goblin ...

Labyrinth is catogrised in the genre fo 'Fantasy.' The film was released in the USA on the 27th of June 1986. The unusual film is directed by Jim Henson and the writers of the film are Dennis Lee, Jim Henson and Terry Jones.

The plot ------------- Sarah Williams was a teenage girl with a large imagination and love for fantasy stories, so much so that she enacted her favourite storybook, the Labyrinth, whenever she could. She happened to have been pretending that she was the heroine in her story while wandering in the park near her house when the clock ...

I only watched this film because I am one of the biggest David Bowie fans around. My mum bought me the VHS when I was younger and I loved it so much, I have the DVD now. It is exciting and fun from start to end. About the film Made in 1986, produced by George Lucas (Star Wars) and with an amazing collection of Jim Henson creatures. ...

This film is an absolute classic for children and adults alike. I have been a fan of this film for the last 20 years and still never get bored of watching it. The amazing puppetry creations from Jim Henson and the wonderful range of songs from David Bowie make this film stand out from any other. The imaginations of the creators of have no limits ...

I love this film to bits! I first watched this film when I was around twelve years old; I then enjoyed it for its fantasy elements and the loveable characters created by master puppeteer Jim Henson. I know find when I watch, that I am enjoying the film for the exact same reasons however now I can appreciate the amazing vocals of David Bowie ...

The trials of a teenage mind. We've all been there and can in some ways relate to things in this film. From the idea of a controlling whicked stepmother to first love and awakening to the real world, this film has it all. Mostly thought as a kids film but the power behind the ideals can only be appreciated as an adult.Yet as kids ...

I’m sure that everyone remembers their first love and the first time they had a crush on someone, be it the girl next door or some famous figure. I can certainly remember my first crush. The year was 1986 and I was twelve years old and it was around this time that “Labyrinth” was first released, featuring a then 16 year old Jennifer Connelly as ...

In the after school care which I went to 3-4 years ago there was a shelf full of videos. One particularly rainy day we had to sit in and watch a video. One of our carers redommended Labyrinth to us. We weren't sure because it was so old but in the end we decided to try it out. It envolves a girl who is made to babysit her little ...

I haven't written a film review before, but after coming home and seeing that my daughter had got this film off the video shelf and was watching it, I thought what a great film it was and decided to write about it. One of the main characters is the goblin king played by David Bowie, as a huge Bowie fan this film had an extra ...

I love it I say!!, I never tire of watching it, it's a true classic, people always insult David Bowie for his acting skills which OK may not be the greatest but as the Goblin King in this movie I think he does just great. There really isn't anything bad I can say about this movie AT ALL. It's a magical story for kids ...

This film was the making of my childhood, so very good, you cant fault it at all, perfect in every way. Its one of those classic fantasies of the eighties, like Willow and Dark Crystal, but i'd say it was better than both those. It stars David Bowie as the goblin king who's stolen Sarah's little brother and taken him to ...

Labyrinth has got to be one of my favourite films as a child. The story is about a young girl Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) who is left at home to baby sit for her little brother Toby. Being slightly annoyed being made to babysit (as you would be) gives Tony to the Goblin King (David Bowie) who hides him in the middle of his Labyrinth. To get him ...

Jim Henson was disappointed at this movies poor box office showing but it has gone on to become somathing of a cult classic with an online fanbase, fan-fiction and a yearly Labyrinth of Jareth Ball held in the USA. There are several entry points into the enjoyment of this movie. Firstly the actors. Jennifer Connelly (Sarah) has just ...

Labyrinth is a film I had on video as a young child for as long as I can remember and it was one of those which I watched over and over again despite the fact that it scared me, particularly Jareth and the Fireys. I wonder if David Bowie knows he scared a whole generation with this film. Anyway I discovered it going cheap in a shop the other week ...

Why does no-one else realise what makes such a great film?? We need MORE PUPPETS ON DOGS!!!!!!! - Advantages: Henson at his very very best, Superb in every way, doesn't get much better, THERE's A PUPPET ON A DOG!!!!!!! - Disadvantages: NONE

I'm going to tell you two stories, either of which could be the plot for this film. Confused? As far as I can tell, there are two ways of watching and interpreting Labyrinth, and the effects are quite different. There will be spoilers, you were warned. A bit of background first. Labyrinth is a 9186 film featuring David Bowie, Jennifer ...
