Great Acting, Great Mini Stories, Never Ending

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2004)

I thought the movie had great characters and everyone performed well. The characters were all unique and had a mystical era to them. After the first few characters were introduced I was interested in who Mr. Bloom would meet next.
I liked the mini-stories, but I fealt like they caused the film to go on and on. There wasn't ever a real climax. This seemed to make the movie drag and you couldn't tell when it was coming to an end.
I was a little disappointed with the music because lots of it was derived from "Edward Scissorhands." Music helps make the mood of the movie. The music fits to it, but when I hear it, it reminds me of Edward Scissorhands, which isn't Big Fish. I thought it should have had its own original music.
