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 Rushmore 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. The Life Aquatic probably won’t be remembered as a great film, but it is still one that no Anderson (or Murray) fan can afford to miss.--Leah Weathersby

Customer Reviews of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Criterion Collection
Save yourself now and run Apparently, humor and originality are seemingly replaced by the bizarre and the boring. It was silly, incoherent and painful to watch. If you find things to be interesting because they are strange, then go for it. If you're looking for intelligent humor that is understandable, run now and save yourself.
An absolute gem
Just some random thoughts about this movie....
<
>
<
>A subtle, often quiet, sometimes slow, sometimes dry comedy except that it's not really a comedy. More of an ode to life.
<
>
<
>This is a very unusual movie. If you go into it thinking that it will be like anything else you have ever seen you are already setting yourself up for disappointment. It is in a category of its own. It was promoted as a comedy but it really isn't. It's a sacracstic and sometimes sad look at life with moments of humor.
<

<
>Bill Murray is suburb (when is he not?). I can't think of any other actor who could have played his role.
<
>
<
>If you don't enjoy the first 10 minutes of this movie you will not enjoy the movie. Don't waste any more of your time.
<
>
<
>If you are not bright there is no way you will understand or enjoy this movie. This movie is not for kids or those who think like them. In fact if you're under 30 you may get some of the humor but you probably won't "get" the movie.

>If you love NASCAR you may not like this movie.
What are you people thinking?
Has the general movie-going public lost all sense of the subtle?!!
<
>
<
>Do you all live and die by the mighty swish of the Light saber and the whims of the Sith?
<
>
<
>This movie pays homage to the ridiculous 'horror' movies of the 60s as well as the idiocy that were the 'Nature Docu-Dramas' of Jacques Yves Cousteau. If you haven't experienced either or if you can't sit through a movie in which the explosions don't actually rip the skin off your face, then you won't dig this.
<
>
<
>The movie has intricately recreated, 'bad' special effects to add to the surreal-ness of the whole experience. It's not intended to be 'realistic.' C'mon people, work with me here! Restore some of the faith I had in the idea that society was comprised mostly of intelligent, free-thinking individuals with an attention span somewhat longer than you're average car chase in Too-Fast, Too-Furious.
<
>
<
>The dialogue is somewhat skewed as well, wich adds to the over-all feel of the movie.
<
>
<
>The movie has a carefully constructed 'unpolished' feel to it that suspends belief quite nicely, never letting you fall back into your seat.
<
>
<
>It's one of Bill Murrey's best and he deserved an Oscar nod for this much more than for 'Sleepless in Tokyo' or whatever it was called (Lost in Translation).
<
>
<
>I guess the general observation that it's "not for everybody" is right on...
<
>
<
>Thank the sweet heavens above!
