Pros: The puppetry continues to amaze, even 20 years later. Trevor Jones' score.
Cons: The story isn't as imaginative as the visuals, plus it's too dark for little kids.
I miss Jim Henson. When he passed away in 1990, I was only 11, but I can still remember feeling sad at the news. Here was a man who effectively shaped much of the pop culture of my childhood through the wonder of his Muppets and their various forms. Ke ...

Pros: Incredible detail when it comes to the background story. It stirs so many emotions at once.
Cons: Puppets still have limitations. Just look at Fizzgig if you don't believe me.
It was an epic. It was to become a modern day classic. It was an extremely original work of fantasy - yet lacking the disappointment that usually comes with trying to create fantasy and be different.
That's all nice and well. But let's get to...

Pros: Busting at the seams with great extras.
Cons: No cons, Bravo!
Before reading any further you should know that this is not a review on Dark Crystal, it more like me telling you how cool the DVD is. Besides, if your still here reading this, you already know the movie is cool, so it doesn't matter how much of the...

Pros: A gorgeous film. Incredible attention to detail.
Cons: There will never be another movie quite like it.
I don't think I can praise this movie enough. Just words alone simply can't do justice to the sheer beauty of it. Now, normally I don't put so much weight into the appearances of a movie, but this... this is as a work of art, plain and simple.

Pros: great story line, amazing creatures
Cons: might scare little kids sometimes
The Dark Crystal is one of those movies that I love now just as much as I loved it as a child. It's about a Gelfling named Jen who's in search of a crystal shard that will save the peaceful clan of Mystics, and destroy the wicked clan of Skeksis. He...

Pros: Beautiful artistry, fun fantasy
Cons: Children at a young age may not be able to appreciate it yet
The Dark Crystal represents an innocent time in the youth that we all yearn to remember and even feel again. So many times has a work produced in the brilliant mind of Jim Henson touched my life. In a new age where movies such as Pokemon and The Power...

Pros: Beautiful sets and puppets, interesting and compelling story line
Cons: A bit scary for younger viewers
"The Dark Crystal" is one of my favorite movies of all time. I first saw this movie at an assembly in 4th grade and though it frightened me a bit, I was enchanted by the beauty of it. The puppets were so lifelike that I sometimes forget that...

Pros: Very good movie!
Cons: None that I could see.
When I watched this movie when I was real little, It was because I loved the muppets but this movie was more serious than just simple muppets. It was a great film by Jim Henson!
What I loved about this movie is that it was not dumbed down for...

Pros: Super movie
Cons: a little scary at times
When I was a child my mother rented this movie for me. I remmember the wonders on the strange land that the gelflings live in. It was so imaginative and curious to me. I hated and feared the Skeksis. They were so evil and selfish! Best of all, the hero...

Pros: Grand scenes, a full world to enjoy.
Cons: None
A whole world created by Frank Oz and Jim Henson.
The Dark Crystal was made so long ago and it still rocks. I recently purchased the movie for my DVD. The movie is a classic battle between good and evil, fought in a mythical land. Everything in...

Pros: This movie is the best I have seen
Cons: I can say nothing bad about it
The Dark Crystal in my opinion is the best movie I have ever seen.
It has a realistic quality in the movie and lovable main charactors.
If you like fantasy, and graphics then this movie is for you.
But due to some of the creatures in the...

Pros: wonderful scenery, brilliant story
Cons: not enough to mention
"The Dark Crystal" takes the veiwer into a world that is alive in so many ways. Without any foreknowledge of what it is you are about to witness, without even a prior knowledge of the Fantasy genre, you can submerge yourself into this place...
