ni film keren banget..'never ending watch' deh...bkn kita banyak belajar dari cerita ini :D
This was a very good movie...i just looked at it cause i heard Miley Cyrus was in it...But it was good all the way.

Tim Burtonin paras elokuva. Tassa on toimii kaikki, nayttelijat, rytmitys, ohjaus, lavastus, kerronta, kasikirjoitus, musiikki ja kaikki. huippu leffa.
Probably better than I thought but I was in a theater with people who were way to into it. I just did not get it
the ending's kinda hokey, but just about the only tim burton movie i've ever liked
Preciosa, divina y conmovedora. No he visto una mejor forma de expresar la percepcion y las realidades de las personas. Y lo mejor, lo poderosas que pueden llegar a ser.

No he visto una mejor forma de expresar la percepcion y las realidades de las personas. Y lo mejor, lo poderosas que pueden llegar a ser. Cada una de las historias es como un mundo aparte entrelazadas por ese senor. Burton a la verdad que se boto con esta pelicula porque lo importante no es lo que sucede, sino como uno lo significa. Altamente recomendada.
Kinda like more unrealistic version for "Forrest Gump." The beggining was weird, but had a good ending. Ewan McGregor's southern accent was almost perfect.
Critic Reviews
An ebullient tall tale about the magic of imagination and the power of myth.full review
A long-winded indulgence in tear-and-a-smile whimsy.full review
Burton's fabled imagination runs wild with this material, and Big Fish often achieves a whimsical, poetic beauty.full review
Burton, who has clung to the trappings of precocious genius well into his 40s, demonstrates a new emotional maturity.full review
There is no denying that Will has a point: The old man is a blowhard. There is a point at which his stories stop working as entertainment and segue into sadism.full review
You'd think that Burton, whose movies can be so invigoratingly nasty or so hypnotically moody, would be able to pull off a gentle, mainstream crowd-pleaser without making it dull or preachy. But Big Fish is both.full review
The most curious thing about this magical-realist fable ... is how thin and soft it is, how unpersuasive and ultimately forgettable even its most strenuous inventions turn out to be.full review
Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent.full review
