A delightful treat from the mind of Tim Burtan

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2003)

I've always been a fan of Tim Burton, he's one of the few directors who is able to put himself into his films without jeopardizing the story, that said, I have never thought of him as a great drama director, his movies are fun to watch, but you rarely have much emotion for the characters.

Well after watching Big Fish, i take that back, Tim Burtan can make an emotional drama, you care for the characters of this film, and you want to learn more about them as the films goes on. The story is great and its still got that lovable Burtan quality and feel to it.
The performances are also great, most notable Ewan MacGregor, if he doesn't get an Oscar nomination then i will finally be convinced that the academy are just a bunch of fools. He proves in Big Fish that he is one of the best actors of his generations (and he should also shut up those who were hard on him for his performance in the star wars films)
This is one of the best films of the year, and a real treat to movie goers, go see this, its a film for everyone to enjoy
