In Reply to: Pan´s Labyrinth or the damage of LoTR ´s made on the decades of films to come... posted by patrickU on June 29, 2008 at 01:40:24:
PL was a magical film. Part of its power is that it doesn't shy away from showing brutality.
Peter Jackson is a hack. Even in LOTR's immense battle scenes I never felt any sense of danger or urgency. Contrast that with the PL, when you are totally immersed in the emotions of the young girl. Del Toro is a much more human director, even in showing violence or indulging in effects.
