"Children of Men" or "Pan's Labyrinth"...which did you like better?
these are probably the two most buzzed about pics of last year and early this year...
so for those who have seen "Children of Men" and "Pan's Labyrinth", which did you like better?
They were both somewhat similar which surprised me. I think they both showed the bleakness of life only to be redeemed by the struggles of our protagonists.
that shocked me, but only for a minute as they made total sense and was very in line with the themes of both films.
I think I would give a slight edge to CoM just because i was gripped and glued almost throughout...

I've seen both twice now and I think I flip-flopped as to which was my favorite movie of the year - but on the second viewing it became clear (to me) that Pan's Labryinth takes the crown.

I enjoyed Pan's Labyrinth more.

They both didn't do as much for me as I hoped they would. I thought they were both good, but neither was a slam dunk. I guess I'd probably pick PL as the better film.

Children of Men. There's not one flaw with the movie.
As much as I enjoyed Pan's Labyrinth, it takes the film nearly an hour to take off and the pacing could've been a little bit smoother (but that's an editing flaw IMO).

It's close, as they're my #s 1 & 2 favorite movies of the year - but CoM is my #1, and Pan's #2, so I like CoM just slightly better (mosly because I feel it has a much higher re-watchability factor).

Children of Men just met my expectations, while Pan's Labyrinth exceeded them.
In other words, I really liked Children of Men, but there was just something about Pan's Labyrinth that I fell in love with.
