Not a “fun” watch per say…

I watched it with my 9 year old son and we did not like it. Well, not at first. Then we started making fun of it and we enjoyed it more. The more we made fun of it the more it became… interesting? It’s like they tried to create the most nasty looking and disgusting puppets and although I believed in the world they created, I struggled in believing in there it’s inhabitants. As for the story, it might have been original back then and might even have paved the way for similar « quest films » but all in all, Labyrinth this wasn’t. Sometimes it looked more like a dark and ancient version of a Power rangers bad guy’s lair kind of stuff. One of the puppet even reminded of a French Canadian show I watched as a child. And that’s not a compliment. It was called Bibi et Geneviève. I mean, look at this guy: https://www.archambault.ca/Pages/Details?lang=en-ca&id=969929&cat=1884314 . I could describe the feeling watching this movie as the same feeling when you lift a rock and there’s a bunch of disgusting insects beneath but you can’t help but to look at them out of sheer curiosity and you’re sort of impressed by the nastiness. Anyways, it’s really lacking something to make it truly exceptional to my eyes. Maybe if I had seen it as a child… IDK 6/10
