Reviews
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
tishco Beautifully made, fantastic cast but typical Tim Burton. I suppose you are either into him or not. I watched it for the cast and kept losing interest. It jumps around too much and I don't understand the PG rating in Australia with the violence, scary themes including the naked butt of Danny De Vito. I can't recommend it unless you like this sort of thing. Of course Helena Bonham Carter (Tim's wife) makes appearances as well. Over the top and way too long.
sanderbharaj This film hasn't got the best beginning and the story does not flow as well as could, however I found the end was quite moving and thought provoking.
miryamos You've to search for your place in the world to be happy - this idea seems to be suggested in all the adventures that the main character discovers in his big journey. It's an incredible sense of freedom and a true empowerment that never leaves one while seeing this movie. It gives you the impression that there's no thing in this world that cannot be accomplished once you're ready to even give up on your life for your true passions. Quaint, lovely, funny quotes seem to be everywhere.
benjaminburt Big Fish is nowhere near a perfect movie. Sometimes the dialogue is awkward, the pacing drags at times, and Steve Buscemi is, as always, a weirdo. There are bizarre and fantastical ideas that can take you out of the movie. For all its flaws, I can't give it more than an 8. That being said, this is my favorite movie of all time.Big Fish strikes a chord with me. It examines the value of a life, our modern-day myths, and, ultimately, the nature of our humanity. I don't cry easily, and I'm not just saying that - I didn't cry at Schindler's List, or Titanic; but Big Fish makes me sob every time. The ultimate catharsis, where a man's identity, value, integrity, and family are all validated, and his life has been a life worth living. Tim Burton was definitely the man for the job on this film, and if you like his other classics like Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, and Batman, you'll probably enjoy this one, too. What else can I say, this is my favorite movie.
