fresh:
An innovative mix of sophisticated puppetry and special effects, Labyrinth has all the components of classic myth.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
Henson's imagination is boundless. But his movie has no pep. It's a dream in neutral.

A real masterpiece of puppetry and special effects, an absolutely gorgeous children's fantasy movie.
