While Wes Anderson's particular and unique visual style is abundant throughout The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, his skills as a screenwriter have abandoned him. The biggest difference between this film and his others is that Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums were filled with humor derived from characters who were usually laced with melancholy. This focus on fully-rounded characters allowed the emotional highs and lows to connect with the audience.
Life Aquatic offers up a protagonist whose goals are never clearly defined. Aside from a section of the film where Zissou organizes a rescue of his crew, the script never gives the character a strong enough objective. That leaves Bill Murray to fill in the gaps. His conception of the character seems to be far more interesting than the one that has been written. The director gives Murray enough room to do what he wants to with the character.
The Life Aquatic screenplay never allows the characters to be anything more than two-dimensional figures (even when the actors are giving it their all) so the melancholy feels unearned and the quirkiness feels shoehorned into the proceedings.
At best, The Life Aquatic shows that Anderson is a gifted enough image maker to keep most viewers looking at his film even if they have no emotional investment in the characters.

One of my favorite Bill Murray movies. I love the fish and sea creatures they create for the movie, so colorful. The movie is really funny, but not in a fart joke kind of way, it's really clever and kind of..offhanded or something. I definitely think it's worth watching. The movie set, on the boat, is amazing, it's like a set on a play because there's just all these rooms attached together with working doors and stairs, it's really cool.

It's fantastic for intelligent audiences! If you get stuff that others don't get, you'll love it! It's really funny, but in a lofty sort of way. If you like The Royal Tenenbaums, you'll like The Life Aquatic.

It's a bit bizzare but not as good as the trailer suggests. Worth a look.6/10

I've seen it. It's a little weird, but funny. They use The Zombies song "The way I feel Inside" which is a great song, and a really beautiful scene. Rewatch value probably isn't too high, but i totally suggest seeing it.

It is a funny movie, but not in an obvious way. It was funnier the second time. The outfits and dolphins had me laughing out loud, though.
