*MILD SPOILERS* I saw this movie this weekend. I think it could become my favorite Tim Burton film. It is deffinately not as stylistic as his other films. But it absolutely has the Tim Burton flavor. It is very much a story driven movie, that being its central premise. It's about unraveling the mystery of a man who's whole life has been told in fantastic tall tales; separating the fact from the fiction. Its also very much about the reconciliation of the rift this uncertainty has driven between a son and his father. It moves along a bit slowly here and there, digressing and going off on tangents but all of this is justified in the end, the movie playing out like one of the father's tall tales. so yes, i really loved BIG FISH and think it is in my top five favorite movies of the year behind (of course) Return of the King. anyone else see this? if not, i think you should. |

i saw this yesterday and it is one of the best films i have ever seen. for what it's worth, this gets my highest recommendation. |

I just got home from the theatre. I must say this film is pretty damn good. The ending of the movie made me pretty emotional, I kept thinking about my relationship with my own pop. I liked Helena Bonham Carter a lot in this movie. Even though she didn't have a very big part, it was much less annoying than Marla Singer. ;) Props on all the other acting in the movie, everyone should see it. |

well i finally seen it, I think it's definately one of Burton's best movies. The ending is one of the best endings to a film i've ever seen. Music by Danny Elfman was excelent as always. This film deserves a thread as long as the lost in translation one! |

surely more people have seen it! Its a TIM BURTON movie for christsake! |

i totally loved it as well. it is sad to see it was passed up for any oscar nods. it certainly was in my top 5 for movies last year. and i thought it was better than Mystic River and fucking Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit even got an art direction nod which is retarded. At the very least it deserved an original screenplay nom. especially because nobody even saw Dirty Pretty Things or The Barbarian Invasions. well maybe those were better. i didn't see them (or really even hear about them) either. But then, The Oscars are a joke anyway. it would have been nice for Big Fish to get a little more exposure, but i suppose this way, it has more chance of becoming somewhat "cult-ish" in coming years which is one quality i appreciate of all of Tim Burton's filims. |

A Bump because I saw it for the first time this evening and it's definitely my fav Tim Burton movie. |

fantastic film,seen it a couple of times |
||||||||
|

i tell ya, i watched it a second time and even though i loved it the first time, it was kinda boring the second time. i guess it's like, when you know all the punchlines to all the stories, the stories themselves lose their appeal. I started to understand why billy crudup's character was so sick of hearing his fathers tired old stories. anyway, i liked it but i have no desire to watch it again. |

ive oretty much had the same experience. first time i saw it in theaters, i almost cried and was absolutely blown away. second time, was a bit meh. then i bought the dvd, and watched it again and started realizing how fucking annoying edward bloom is. so i havent watched it again. |
