DVD Reviews of Big Fish
DVD Review: BIG FISH
Summary: 5 Stars
BIG FISH is a wonderful family movie. My grandchildren want to see it every time they come over. Wonderful acting and story! Get it and enjoy!DVD Review: Wonderful film, but the transfer is sub-par
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of my family's favorite movies and I was thrilled to see that it was available on blu-ray. I eagerly popped it into my PS3 last night expecting a visual treat, but was sorely disappointed by the "less than blu-ray" quality of the image. I'm convinced that this is an upsampling of the DVD. There's a lack of clarity in the details throughout the film. If you played the blu-ray and DVD versions side by side, I doubt you would see any difference between them.DVD Review: A Great Movie that will make you see the magic and the bright side of life
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is really inspiring and makes you realize that your life will only be as interesting and fulfilling as you want to. It may not be a fast paced film, but if you are in the mood for some eye candy scenery and a comforting, fun, and touching film you will not be disappointed. It is definitely a movie that you have to watch at least once in your life time. DVD Review: Great Movie, Not Bluray Quality Though
Summary: 4 Stars
This story is very good, what else would you expect from a Burton/Elfman combo? It's a great mixture of fantasy with reality and will be a movie you want to watch over and over again!
My only disappointment was the picture quality--I know that it was re-done into bluray so it wouldn't be as good as newer movie releases, but I was expecting at least a better picture than the VHS we have of this.
****Contains Some Spoilers****
This movie is about a man, Ed Bloom, who told stories all his life OF his life. Now he's old and dying and his only son, Will (who is recently married and expecting a child of his own), has come to see him after years of not speaking. As Will grew older he began to see the "lies" or embellishments of his fathers stories and only wanted the straight-up truth--which is something Ed just wasn't capable of. Will since dismissed everything his father ever told him about himself and went on to live his very practical and clean-cut life. It is not until his father's funeral, when he meets all the characters from his father's life stories, that Will sees his father really was telling the truth about his life and only added a little imagination and fantasy to his stories.
DVD Review: Great movie, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Everything's been said about this great Tim Burton flick and the reason I'm writing this review is a bit different.
The RC1 release DOES NOT CONTAIN the senitype or the fridge magnet. The picture above is that of the RC3 South Korean release. The RC1 DVD only includes the illustrated book.
The RC1 disc still is a nice release but anyone who wants the fullblown luxury should look for the South Korean release. Unfortunately that one would be hard to get these days.
Description of Big Fish
A magical journey that delves deep into a fabled relationship between a dying father & his son. The son recreates his fathers elusive life in a series of legends & myths inspired by the few facts he knows discovering both his fathers great feats & his great failures. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/27/2007 Starring: Ewan Mcgregor Jessica Lange Run time: 125 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Tim BurtonAfter a string of mediocre movies, director Tim Burton regains his footing as he shifts from macabre fairy tales to Southern tall tales. Big Fish twines in and out of the oversized stories of Edward Bloom, played as a young man by Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge, Down with Love) and as a dying father by Albert Finney (Tom Jones). Edward's son Will (Billy Crudup, Almost Famous) sits by his father's bedside but has little patience with the old man's fables, because he feels these stories have kept him from knowing who his father really is. Burton dives into Bloom's imagination with zest, sending the determined young man into haunted woods, an idealized Southern town, a traveling circus, and much more. The result is sweet but--thanks to the director's dark and clever sensibility--never saccharine. Also featuring Jessica Lange, Alison Lohman, Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito, and Steve Buscemi. --Bret Fetzer
