Something`s missing...

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2004)

This Tim Burton`s realization had to be one of the better in a film production in 2003. Gathered an excellent actors crew, Burton was reached the goal, concerning their particularly roles were convincing. Albert Finney is so good, perfect. Ewan McGregor shows some new, very cute moments in his mimics and body movements. Very good, Ewan! I`m also happy that I can say that Helena Bonham Carter is the one of best actress nowadays, though in The Big Fish she just confirmed my earlier opinion of her good acting. The movie is technical correct, music is fine, the fabula is interesting, but something is missing. For, through all of those blooming colors, small fine details, Will Bloom`s (Billy Crudup) searching for the reality in his fathers stories, I did not find any of development, neither deeper devotion to the main issue, nor the point which could to endure such a quantity of varies scenes, placed in the different times and places, yet not to be faded away, even quashed. It`s a pity, for it could be a great film.
