   Why did people like big fish?
  It looked good and was imaginitive, but other than that I thought it was horrible.  The dad exaggerated his whole life, and causing his son great pain for many years.  A man does not need to distort his life if it was a good one.  And it was.  Now the loser son is doing the same to his kid.  What if he dies a sudden death?  His kids will be all screwed up. 
  I hated the movie   -----------------------------When men speak of the future, the Gods laugh.An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) ;  I''ve known for years that that is how I''m going to raise my children.  Already, at 21, my best friends know more false stories about my life than true ones.  By the time I have children, I''ll be truly legendary.That, and it was a well done movie.  Superb acting, beautiful scenery, effective effects.  A perfect 10 on all levels.  If I had to find a flaw in the movie, its that the giant doesn''t seem to age at the end.  This despite the fact that giants have a shorter life span than your average person.  Also the whole Danny De Vito''s ass thing.  Yeah, could have done without that.CM ;  I didn''t despise the movie but it was very disjointed. It didn''t work as a whole, it was just a series of events.   ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects. There''s already 134 screenshot posts. ;  Amazing movie.  Terrific scenery, great storyline, amazing acting, thought provoking.  Some parts of the movie you didn''t know why they did it, but other then that, it was a great movie. ;  I thought the movie worked just because all those fables were so engaging. I felt myself getting drawn in, and really looking forward to hearing the next part of the story.Sure, Tim Burton has had his share of horrible movies, but he still has a talent for storytelling. ;  My theory is: you know how ''feel good'' movies are for women? well, Big Fish is the same thing, but for men!I thought it was absolutely fabulous and I can''t decide why. Even now it puzzles me that I can''t put my finger on what was so great, but I''ll be buying it on DVD and I''ll watch it again and again for the rest of my life... ;  I loathed that piece of sh|t. However, people in general liked it because in this commercialized era it''s not usual to see a movie go "artsy". Tim Burton films generally do well, anyway.- CD   Brought to you by Code_Dark;  Well, I liked it. There were a couple of parts that weren''t so great, but generally I liked it. You''re right about the ''artsy'' part - it was nice to see something even slightly different (mainstream, anyways) out there. Tim Burton is pretty cool.Still, Errol Morris is my favorite filmmaker.   _GEo.RHS Band;  I prefer the artsy take to the "we''ll describe everything in detail you don''t need your imagination" junk that''s out there.It brought forward some concepts that haven''t been in movies lately.  It didn''t quite hit the mark, but it was close.
