Review of Ed Wood (1994) by Evan J — 31 May 2014

Ed Wood is the great story about the worst director of all time, and how one man never gave up on his vision. Tim Burton has directed a masterpiece in storytelling and style, as he celebrates the life of this man and shows the difficulties of show business from a man with no talent.

Johnny Depo gives one of his finest performances to date, his sympathy and pure love for his character makes his performance completely believable. Martin Landau gives an astounding and unbelievable performance as Bela Logousi, the man who played Dracula.

His dramatic and true performance was a key factor in this film and worked perfectly. Sarah Jeesica Parker and Bill Murray both also give great performances that bring the film to life. This film is about following our dreams even when the world discourages us, and although Wood's story isn't a happy ending, his legacy as a cult filmmaker has turned him into the man he always wished to be.

I respect Edward D. Wood, and although he may be the worst director ever, his story and legacy is truly great if you ask me. Tim Burton has had some great films and some bad films, but Ed Wood is what I believe to be his masterpiece that proves that he is an incredible director.

His collaborations with Johnny Depp have been great before but this is one of his finest performances to date. This film is an example of hope and working for what we want most in the world, and Ed Wood had more dreams more than anybody.
