This film is pretty alright.

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2015)

Although this film had an interesting and creative plot line, I felt that some aspects f the film weren't that enjoyable. First off, Tim Burton usually puts out pretty off the charts creative/weird films, and I just didn't get that pizazz feeling that usually comes along with his work, from this particular movie. One really big reason that I didn't enjoy Big Fish as much as I thought I was going to, is the fact that in some parts it really dragged on quite a bit. Especially when he first comes to the town of Spectre. It was interesting for a little while but I felt like they spent to much time focusing on his time there. Another prevalent problem I had with Big Fish, was that it was just kind of confusing. If you think about the film in a whole, then it really isn't confusing. But when you get into the more detailed aspects of it, it is actually really confusing. Like what was the deal with the town of Spectre? How was the young girl from Spectre the witch from Ed's childhood? I, personally, was left with a copious amount of questions. One aspect of the film that I actually enjoyed, were the stories/flashbacks as a whole. Even though some parts dragged on, the stories were very interesting, I thought. And I liked how everything he was talking about in the stories, were all somehow connected. (Like how the circus connected to him meeting his wife, etc.) I thought it was better than if they had just depicted random memories/stories, which they easily could have done. So, all in all I thought that it was a relatively decent movie. It wasn't perfect, and some of the details were a little iffy for me, but I think that it was a great film as a whole.
