Not Tim Burton best but a good effort anyway.

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2004)

Big fish is a pretty good film but it's more a lightweight effort than most of the other Burton films, and it's less whimsical well. Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney are great as the younger and senior Ed Bloom , and Jessica Lange is good as well as his wife. The balance between what is real and imaginary is really a good way to view the world through the main character eyes, and the way Burton puts that to use is a grand effort indeed.

It's a good movie but it's not Tim Burton's Best.
