Weird, quiet, delightful movie, though it goes on way too long.

This is one of the few movies where Bill Muray has the lead and doesn't destroy the movie as a result. Zissou leads a crew of nearly hopelessly inept characters on an adventure all thriving on failure.

There's a very tangible sense of repetition about everything in this movie. Lord knows Bill Murray does his "getting old, re-evaluating life" thing as usual, and Wes Anderson's predictable touches (like acoustic Bowie song transitions) add to that recycled Royal Tenenbaums feeling.

Interesting, but I was kinda bored as the movie got further along.

interesting

I don't really like Wes Anderson's films and this is only a mild exception. Although all of the things I dislike about Anderson's style are present (most of all the performances he generates from his actors) this is the one movie of his that kind of overcomes that for me. It's probably Bill Murray. Either way, I like it, but I can't give it a huge recommendation due to my problems with Anderson's choices. While creative and original, it's distractingly quirky and too surreal for my tastes.

I don't remember much about this film, which is enough to know that it didn't make a great impression on me.

The film that seemed to change Wes Anderson from darling of the critics too then suddenly pompous and self indulgent! I couldn't disagree more. Funny, moving, quirky and very pretty, this is without doubt my favourite Anderson film, and I love all his stuff. As for Bill Murray, well he's just brilliant. There is so much in this movie to love than even now, after I have seen it many times, I find something new to admire. The whole cast are fantastic & Mark Motherbaugh's score is magic. Sublime.

I'm not a huge fan of Wes Anderson, but this was an enjoyable film. Any movie with Bill Murray is fine with me.

Wasn't as good as I was told

Anderson's unique style taken to its extreme. Murray is, of course, fantastic. It's not perfect, but its laughs make up for its faults.

Liked it.
