Oh yeah, here's your magical ending. Seriously, this so lame. And how could that skinny little man carry the fat old guy for so long without dropping him. I mean, come on.

Hey, I liked it. Why does it matter if a skinny guy carries a fat guy? No offense, but that is the most ridiculous criticism I've heard since that one guy complained that "Iron Man" was ruined by the fact that Tony Stark slept with too many girls.
Iron Man was an awesome movie, I agree there. And look, that skinny guy could no way hold that fat man for that long without dropping him, knowing that fact took me out of the moment. It ruined the film for me. I remember seeing the movie in theaters and I kept thinking, okay, this is all a dream or there's going to be some cheesy ending, and sure enough there was. The movie had great art direction, the music was endearing, it took me away to that magical place and all of that, but there was no payoff for me. Just my opinion.

Actually, the ending was what the son told his father before he died. That's why it's very cheesy and very fairy tale-ish. And it was, indeed, perfect.I agree if it was what happened that would just be majorly silly. But as that ending is in context, it was awesome.
Negative, ghostrider.

I give Big Fish a solid 8. Good movie, but nowhere near perfect, in my opinion.
I agree. Not Tim Burton's best film, but, like you said, solid.
Personally, I think it is just one of those movies you can watch once or twice a year. I don't think I could watch it more than that. Not that it annoys me, or I think it is so utterly horrible, I just don't think I like it so much to watch it every day or even twice a month. And to me, a 10/10 rating is a movie you can watch that often.
But that's just my taste in movies. I can watch Swingers once a month, but can't stand Forrest Gump except maybe once every two years. Big Fish is maybe, for me, a once a year show.

Oh sorry, I meant [b]2/10. Hey, if you're not going to make a Hollywood ending, don't make a Hollywood movie.You fail. [/B]
Really, I can only put this bluntly: You're unintelligent. The Coen brothers kept the same ending as the novel, which is what they should've done.
Also, you act as though lowering your rating of the film is going to make me angry; it doesn't, it just makes you seem like a negligible person.

First off, reported. Second off, since when does disagreeing on movies make you unintelligent? I have all As and B+s, appreciate art(David is my favorite piece of work ever), like reading books as much as I like sports, and always study hard. And you calling me dumb because I don't like the same movie as you says more about you than it does me.

I hate that bullshit retort. This has been about the millionth time someone has used this argument to me. Just because it was in the book doesn't mean it's good. The book sucked because of the ending as well, which ruined everything that made the story intact and workable.

Who said I did? I meant 2, not 3 in the beginning. News flash: The world doesn't revolve around you.
So you're calling me negligible, when you're the one insulting people because they don't agree with you.

This is the most retardest shittest thing i have ever read in my life.. where the fuk did you go to school in someones arsehole.
So you believe in giants, and the Korean twins, and the big fish in the river also the lady with the magic eye.
The father asked the Son to tell the story of his death because that wasn't what he saw in the eye.. So the son made up the perfect story. Spastic!
