Which of these would you prefer?
The film is slow by modern standards, but that slowness is a virtue. Henson forces you to absorb the intricate biology of Thra—the fluttering Fizzgigs, the armored Landstriders, the horrifying Garthim (giant crab-scorpions). The Skeksis are masterclasses in villainy: their dry, cracking skin, asymmetrical eyes, and screeching voices (led by a brilliant performance by Frank Oz as the Chamberlain, "Mmmmmmm?") are genuinely unsettling. This is Dark Souls for puppetry.
