Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2005)

The story is fantastic, but if you're a fan of the book you may be disappointed. The story's about a man who desperately wants to know more about his father, so he sorts through stories and rumors to try and get the best feeling for his father's life. This movie is definitely Burtonesque. Some of the visual effects and art you'll see in this movie will move you to a point you've never been moved to before. Ewan McGregor does a fantastic job in his role as the father in his younger years. If you're a father or a son, you'll get this movie; but really it's a movie for anyone. Heart-warming, intelligent, funny, and it ends in a way that'll leave you feeling so warm it could bring a grown man to tears. 9.5 stars out of 10.
