Loved it, but...

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2010)

This one was highly recommended by a number of friends. So I watched it and found that it was really worthwhile. However, during the 2-hour view, I had it in my head in a constant comparison with my all-time favorite Big Fish; maybe because they both have the same themes, and almost share the same dreamy world of imagination. However, weighing them both, Big Fish was certainly heavier! I can't really say why... maybe I'm prejudiced to Big Fish because I relate more to it, or maybe because I've seen it first, which makes Finding Neverland a candy-like repetition. I don't really know! However, Finding Neverland is one good movie, and I can't deny it. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet managed to captivate me with their mighty performances (as usual!). The story was so real and dreamy at the same time. Some of the credit must go to Marc Forster as well for creating such a beautiful experience so vividly.
