Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2004)

I really enjoyed this Burton story, more so than some of his other films. McGregor is fantastic as the young, tale-telling, hero of our story, and Finney is just as excellent as him in his old age.
Featuring some fine performances from other members of a well drilled cast, Burton's ability to spin a tale shines through in what is entertaining throughout, and often emotional as the story of a son's relationship with his father is weaved throughout.
