Amazon.co.uk Review
In iThe Life Aquatic/i, director Wes Anderson takes his familiar stable of actors on a field trip to a fantasy aquarium, complete with stop-motion, candy-striped crabs and rainbow seahorses. And though Anderson does expand his horizons in terms of retro-special effects and a whimsical use of color, fans will otherwise find themselves in well-charted waters. As iThe Life Aquatic/i opens, Zissou (Bill Murray), a self-involved, Jacques Cousteau-like filmmaker, has just released a documentary depicting the death of his best friend Esteban, who was eaten by some sort of sea creature--possibly a jaguar shark. Zissou?s troubles also include his waning popularity with the public, and a nemesis (Jeff Goldblum) who hogs up all the grant money. Hope arrives in the form of Ned Plimpton (Owen Wilson), an amiable Kentuckian who may be Zissou?s son. Despite his lack of enthusiasm for fatherhood, Zissou welcomes Ned--and Ned in turn saves Zissou?s new documentary (in which he seeks revenge on the jaguar shark) in more ways than one.p One of Wes Anderson?s greatest achievements as a director to date has been launching the autumnal melancholy phase of Bill Murray?s career, starting with iRushmore/i in 1998, and Murray delivers a similarly comedic yet low-key performance here. Unfortunately, Zissou is one of the few characters in this ensemble to achieve multi-dimensionality. Even co-star Wilson doesn?t get to develop Ned much beyond Noble Southerner, and he ends up seeming more like a prop for illustrating Zissou?s emotional development rather than his own man. iThe Life Aquatic/i probably won?t be remembered as a great film, but it is still one that no Anderson (or Murray) fan can afford to miss.i--Leah Weathersby, Amazon.com/i

 All wet December 17, 2008
Jacques Cousteau-type filmmaker Steve Zissou is off to film his search for the jaguar shark that killed his partner. Among the motley crew aboard are his disinterested wife, a pregnant journalist, and a man who may be his son. br /br /Bill Murray plays the title character with an unrelenting poker-face, so dour and expressionless that I couldn't relate to him at all. I kept waiting for some of the silliness that Murray does so well, but Steve remained a one-dimensional character throughout. This type of humor escaped me completely. I thought it was tiresome and might have made a good 30-minute film, but not a full-length film. Cate Blanchett was wasted as the journalist as was Jeff Goldblum as a competing filmmaker. Owen Wilson, playing Steve's possible son, was appealing but couldn't make up for the other lifeless characters and the pointless script. br /br /If the director's odd take on humor isn't enough reason to skip this film, there's the terrible DVD commentary, which was recorded in a busy restaurant and is impossible to listen to. Disappointing.
 Not one of Bill Murray's best November 18, 2008
Owen Wilson puts in the best turn in this. There are some funny scenes, but the dry humour doesn't always work that well and while Bill Murray is always good, this isn't him at his best, which is a shame. br /br /Worth watching.
 Slightly amusing, but sorry I bought it. September 14, 2008
Not as good as Wes Anderson's other films. I bought this because I enjoyed his other films. I'd suggest that you rent it before you buy it.
Pretentious unfunny rubbish June 29, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have to admit that I coud not get past the first 10 minutes of this film. It was so quirky and tried so hard to be witty - and failed. Bill Murray really is a very unfunny actor . And there are boring performances from Huston (talentless nobody) and Micahel Gambon (one of the most overrated actors of all time). What a pity that so much momey can be invested in such poorly written rubbish when there are talented people crying out for money. Avoid at all costs.
 It really is good. June 5, 2008
Watching this was really enjoyable with some unexpected funny bits. My favourite though is The Darjeeling Limited but the Wes Anderson's style is very interesting in his way of filming. It just is really funny in a offbeat way but if you are into normal comedy, dont watch it. I actually cried in this one i am not going to say why as you really must watch this. Some people may find it quite slow moving for the first half of the film but you really must be patient and watch the whole as at the end of the film, you would appreciate it. The use of colours in the whole film is retro like subtle but some bright colours. The sea animals are cleverly done in rather unrealistically cute by the computer graphic but if you are a kind of person who takes things too seriously, then you would find it too odd. This film is for people who are into artistic quality and likes a little bit of unexpected fun.
