The greatest movie I have ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2009)

After watching this movie, I didn't even know what to do. I thought i had been baptized watching a masterpiece such as this. The characters are so amazing, the journey is treacherous but adoring, and the adventure really is as big as LIFE itself. Ewan McGregors performance astounded me, and it makes me beyond thankful that Johnny Depp wasn't cast as Edward.
The classic tale of a son who only knows his father through the supposedly false stories he told him. After his father gets sick, he tries to find out what he can about his father, and nothing new is revealed. In his frustration, he tries to find the answers as the film recaps all the stories that were told. The cast and characters they portrayed were so lovable, and fun to watch as they caused their shenanigans. My view on Tim Burton completely changed after this. There were dark elements, but they were faint, and everything about the story just moved me, and I don't think any other movie can or will top this one in my list. I will however admit that there were one or two disadvantages. For instance when Mr. Soggybottom accidentally shoots Ed trying to hit Amos's wolf form, it doesn't seem to bother him at all, and it isn't brought up again later in the movie, so the shot was completely unnecessary. I also don't like how Ed changed his hair style mid-movie.
But regardless, I strongly STRONGLY recommend any one who has not seen this to watch it, because you will most likely love it to no end.
