The last good film Tim Burton has made. The only good film Tim Burton has made in this century. The best film Tim Burton has ever made. God, I hate Tim Burton.

Πόσο μου λείπει αυτός ο Tim Burton.
Βουλιάζει λίγο η καρδιά μου πάντα στα τελευταία λεπτά.

"You become what you always were; a very big fish."

I hate Tim Burton with the fiery passion of 1000 suns, but I love, love, love this movie. Such a wonderful tale of a mans extraordinary life, a great cast featuring NO JOHNNY DEPP for once, wonderfully written, beautifully shot with tons of different settings filled to the brim with a wonderful cast of characters. Plus it's not filled with all the doom and gloom vibes of every single other Tim Burton movie. More like this please.

It’s sad that everyone realizes Tim Burton operates best when he places story before visual aesthetics except for Tim Burton himself. While “Big Fish” is full of lavish, dream-like visual imagery, it also bears a strong moral story and decent father/son relationship that slightly takes a backseat to Burton’s magical touch until the film's conclusion. Nonetheless, it’s scattered with a handful of moments that emotionally resonated with me in a big way. It remains one of Burton’s stronger efforts, and one that never disappoints upon re-watch.

As good or better than I remembered it. Watching it now with my father's passing so recent I couldn't stop crying half the time. This is what filmmaking should be all about: making you feel. Amazing story, beautifully told, with an awesome cast providing incredible performances. Simply beautiful. Tim Burton at his best.

A beautiful film that delights with its imagination.

Probably the only Tim Burton film I actually really like.

A surrealist fantasy that was a bit far fetched to begin with but it is really worth watching it to the end as I was very satisfied with how the film turned out. If you have enjoyed some of Tim Burton's films this is a lighter shiner example of his work.

I'm glad I watched this again. I finally understood the whole story and it made me think a lot about storytelling.

A wonderful father and son picture. How we see our parents when were kids & how that changes when were adults. It's like what the little girl said in the film about the age gap between her and Edward Bloom. Its how when you're a child, it's a huge gap but when both the parents and children are adults, the perception of the child changes.

This is definitely Tim Burton's last great film, and is a contender for his best overall.

I think this is the only Tim Burton film I can safely say I enjoyed and love, it's just so good, original and imaginative, the visuals are great, I truly loved the performance of every actor in it.
