If you grow up around the 90s you probably wouldn't have known or heard about this film until now, as during the 80's and a film I up with Labyrinth was one Jim Henson classic puppet master film with a fantasy element of adventure as young Sarah trying to get her brother back from the goblin king.
Along the way, she met a lot of colour character and some goofy ones too in a heartwarming, funny interest adventure that along the way we get a few musical moments if there is a film your kids would love today Labyrinth is one of those films.
Sadly David Bowie who play the goblin king past away 10th January 2016, which was a sad day for all his fans. Despite the Critic back then going into this film expect the muppet as they were big back then in the screen, the film is a little darker which is why this critic trash the film, but I would disagree on what these critics said because this was a childhood classic up there with Dark crystal.
Labyrinth over the years became a cult classic that almost everyone loved, its a film that's age well as it never gets old, it a film that reminds those of the days of children to sing along to the music, watching the incredible beautiful Jennifer Connelly on screen at the age of 16 she was the perfect cast for this film.
Especial the character of the movie like Ludo, Didymus and Hoggle who was supposed to do the goblin king command give a heartwarming tale of adventure, friendship in the most unlikely of places.
Along with the movie soundtrack as well with such song as Dance magic dance performed by David Bowie:
Fireys getting down into the fire characters that take their heads and as the dance around:
One of my all-time favourite haunting song from David Bowie a song call within you:
This film has and always has been a classic film to me and a childhood favourite, hearing that a sequel is being done and has finished the script has been done has me intrigued but also kind of scared that they are gonna ruin a childhood classic with a bad sequel.
This is not to mention how can they get away with this since David Bowie past away, are they gonna use CGI on someone face to bring him back like they did with Jeff bridges making him younger in Tron Legacy.
From what ive read Tri and Jim Henson have worked out a deal to bring back this cult classic for a sequel with director Fede Alvarez at the helm, Alvarez revealed that the script is now done:
He had an interview with Fandango this is what he had to say:

He had an interview with Fandango this is what he had to say:
“I was actually having lunch yesterday with Lisa Henson and we reconnected with that project. We're very excited about it. It is basically a direct continuation of the first movie many years later, and I can't tell you much more about it... but we have a script, and we're very excited about it so we'll see where that goes. Like always, it takes time and effort to put those movies together because they're larger than life. But that's one of the projects that I'm very excited about.”
It becomes a growing tend with Hollywood with a reboot and remake and making a sequel like the recent Halloween film that hit the cinema, which let be honest wasn't great when they are scrapping the other as no canon. Hollywood is not in a good place to be messing with a cult classic like Labyrinth, especial when Hollywood can't seem to get anyone with imagination, as ive seen some pretty horrible copy and paste film that have been lazily written.
This is what concerns me more, yes the labyrinth film will always be a classic in its own right, nothing gonna take that away but the cult classic film shouldn't be touched, and making a sequel I fear that it not gonna be the same they are gonna ruin it. But let's just hope they make a good one.
How do you feel about this, do you think this film needs a sequel or do you think like me that it better off left alone as a standalone film?
