amandaApr 12, 2013The last good film Tim Burton has made. The only good film Tim Burton has made in this century. The best film Tim Burton has ever made. God, I hate Tim Burton.

This movie is sad, but it's also happy. It's hertwarming, but also heartbreaking. It's mature, but also childish. It's amazing, and it makes me tear up every time.

Big Fish: 20/20 Big Fish made me cry like a baby! It is such a masterpiece of a movie. Not to mention, it is CRIMINALLY underrated!! This is easily Tim Burton’s best movie. Such a unique story, with many different characters that all play a big part in the story!!

Nya Manneh likedBig FishStarted off kinda slow and at times the story may have seemed strange or a bit whimsical, but overall the story is so beautiful and heartwarming. It also kind of goes to show that there’s truth to every story and that the people you meet always stay with you. Such a lovely watch.
- Stutter with the Fedora lovedBig Fish
‘Big Fish’ is yet another film by Tim Burton with a strong romance at its core but less Gothic and more fantastical. This film is a well-acted and visually pleasing movie that’s both funny and heartwarming with a original and personal story about a father and his son.
Ariel is "meh" onBig FishA whimsical, visually stunning journey through tall tales and family tension. While the storytelling is rich in imagination, the emotional payoff doesn’t fully land for everyone. A beautiful film, but it may leave some wishing for more depth behind the magic.
nevan likedBig Fishpretty sweet and endearing with definite creativity. the music and visuals are typically pretty great, with good performances and an impressive cast. narratively doesn’t do a whole lot but tells a nice story that you don’t have to think too hard about
- Rachel dislikedBig Fish
Ewan McGregor has my heart, but this movie ain’t it. I understand the magic of storytelling, but a deadbeat dad spewing narcissistic tall tales to his son isn’t the way to go. Shoutout to my boy Danny for always killing the score game.
Da channel Fire likedBig Fishit's alright, I feel like I should like it more honestly. i actually almost put this as a meh. even as a kid I would lose interest, like last time I watched it I started playing ENA. IDK, I think I might like it more in like 10 years.
vernassa lovedBig FishSomething about this movie always gets me, maybe it’s nostalgia or the fact that it’s a beautiful story that captures the complexity of family dynamics. which is somewhat fitting since i always watch this movie with my family

Metacritic
The movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic pi#241;ata, crammed with tall tales -- with giants and circuses and fairy-tale woods, plus a huge squirmy catfish, all served up with a literal matter-of-fact fancy that is very pleasing.

Entertainment Weekly
A misfire. The film that wants to be lighter than air instead crashes to earth with the swiftness of a concrete parachute.
