    Such a good movie, but I'm curious of what HAPPENED to the OLD soundtrack... the music that came with the first (non-director cut)... where is that music? It was good.. This director's cut I don't like much.

    I really don't understand why some people trash this movie. It's stunning and brilliant. I LOVE IT!

    This is an epic movie. Visually stunning and unusual theme and a brilliant cast. I only have seen the extended version. The 119min cut I might find a completely different film.

    This has to be the most excellent movie I have ever seen! The story line is magical. Although I preferred the original version over the director's cut, it is and always will be my favorite movie of all time.

    I guess this movie was the first movie I saw that reflected me feelings in complete, I gave it a nine because of some of comercial elements, but I think that Big Bue is going to be my favorite film ever because that sort of spirit is disappearing today...oh, and did i say that the music is unbelievable:-)

    All time great, visually stunning with amazing characters. The original sound-track is wonderful.

    Outstanding movie that is so unlike the predictable commercial movies of today. This movie takes its time and leaves a lot up to the viewer rather than spelling it all out for us. Very moving for me.

    Let's call this "rethinking" The Abysmal.

    A flawed fable but an intriguing one nonetheless. It's "Splash" gone existential. How many films can you name like that?

    Deeply adolescent; its impact is visceral rather than intellectual.
