Just saw it. I thought it was absolutely hilarious and incredibly well made. Coming from Park City (thus experiencing Sundance every year), I love these independent film feely movies (granted this one had a much larger budget but still fit the role). Who else has seen it and what are your thoughts?

Read the IMDB/watched the trailer; seems good. STACKED cast: Ed Norton, Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, and more; wtf. I love Bill Murray.

AHH,THIS LOOKS GREAT! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF WES ANDERSON, LIFE AQUATIC IS PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES ...

AND YEAH, BILL MURRAY PLAYS IN MORE WES ANDERSON MOVIES, I'M A LITTLE BIT AMAZED THAT OWEN WILSON ISN'T PLAYING IN THIS ONE ...

He's been in a good number of his movies, but not all of them. For people who like Wes' stuff check out life aquatic, bottlerocket, and rushmore. Those are some of my favorites by him.

It's hard to say it had the driest humor or the least character development or was the slowest... cause they are all pretty slow, they all have a TON of character development and they all have this dry but hilarious humor. I just feel like that one was the not as great... cause they are all great. Although, I did love the depiction of the sea creatures and what not. I thought that was really great and think if they had made it realistic, it would have killed it.

this was soooo good, one of those movies that isnt necessarily hilarious, but just has you constantly smiling the entire time. definitely one of the best movies in years.

everyone loves rushmore the most. I agree, it's amazing, but i've got a special place in my heart for royal tenenbaums, so I put them at #1. followed closely by rushmore, life aquatic, darjeeling, bottle rocket, fantastic fox.

One of the weirdest movies I've seen in a long time, but also the best movie I've seen in a long time.


SPOILER ALERT

When the kid got struck by lighting I flipped the fuck out.
