Not a traditional Tim Burton movie but still works very well

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2004)

The week before watching Big Fish, I watched Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas. Both have a more twisted aspect that make the movies absolutely thrilling to watch. Big Fish had a totally different approach.
In a year of remakes and sequels, Big Fish stands out as one of the most original movies around. We follow Will Bloom, son of Ed Bloom, and his journey to figure out who his father really is before Ed dies. In order to do so, he must look into the tall tales Ed told him to find the truth behind it all.
The movie is spectacular with awesome film work, lively tales, and many fun characters to look out for. The final revelation at the end is very moving. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of adventure (or, like Will, is looking for one).
