Reviews

Majikat Big fish is an utterly unique film and such a feel tale. A colourful imagination makes the world a huge place of adventure, allows for indulgent story telling and injects brightness into the mundane.

Eric Stevenson I remember back when this movie first came out and I mostly forgot about it after awhile. I love this movie because it reminded me so much of "Forrest Gump". Both are movies that feature a guy telling his life story, about how he fell in love and got the girl he wanted, how he fought in a war, and the strange ways he affected other people's lives. Like "Forrest Gump", the audiences like it more than the critics. I thought the title would be a metaphor for something. Instead, there really is a big fish featured in this movie!I didn't even recognize Ewan McGregor. He really is quite prolific. We get to see small bits from a lot of talented actors like Danny DeVito and Steve Buscemi. Why is Steve Buscemi in everything I've been watching lately? The setup is that a dying man is telling his son the story of his life. His son tries to figure out how much of his story is true.What's interesting is that most of the people he talks about meeting do in fact appear in the movie at the end. We do, however, still get no confirmation of the supernatural stuff he mentioned, like trees coming to life. I watched this because it's the favorite movie of Nostalgia Critic cast member, Tamara Chambers! This is probably my favorite Tim Burton movie. I love how everything builds up on itself and is all relevant in the end. Don't forget this one! ****

mwveliz This is my favorite film ever, every aspect of the movie is so great that I can watch it over and over for the rest of my life.I love the story and the ending is so (un)expected, you can catch a tear dropping on your cheek without even realize before, it's so beautiful, you feel so in touch with the main character and forget everything, just dive into the plot.

jdiloretta Simply an amazing movie. Well acted, great story. I've seen this 1000 times and still get tears eyed up at the end. Every story keeps you wanting more, and the present breaks your heart. There are few movies I can watch over and over and still get excited to watch again. In my opinion there is simply not a better told story of family and regret. The casting couldn't have been any better. I get involved with the characters at the start and want to embrace the whole family dynamic. More symbolism in this movie than any I could think of. I can't remember why I watched this movie for the first time, but am so glad I did. If you are into fantasy, acting, fun, and want something to awaken your imagination i couldn't suggest a better film. Tim Burton's masterpiece.
