Brilliance...I wish I was Edward Bloom

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2004)

Big Fish was just one of the most unbelievable films of the year. I absolutely love Return of the King, I am a LOTR nut, but I have to admit, Big Fish was just as good. It was just a purely amazing experience, touching every part of a person. Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney are by far the best acting duo of the year, spectacular, and Billy Crudup is also just wonderful. The whole cast is amazing, and Burton for once matches his style with substance, a whole world of substance. Not to say the visuals weren't pleasing, it was classic Burton, however it is my favorite Burton flick of all time because it amazed my eyes with the visual brilliance, while still touching my heart with the simple story of a man, his son, and his life. The ending will forever stick with me, in short...I wish I was Edward Bloom. What a man he was.
10 out of 10, one of two this year for me.
