Movie review - "Labyrinth" (1986) **1/2

 I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid and it didn't work for me. Linear nature of the storytelling perhaps. It needed another character. Maybe the tone was too dark.

But I can see why it's beloved. The simplicity. The design. David Bowie. A lot of imagination. Some Terry Jones jokes. No wonder Jim Henson is beloved. Jennifer Connelly is lovely if a bit of a blank slate. The songs aren't that great.
