Review of Edward Scissorhands (1990) by Benjamin W — 25 Dec 2018
Edward Scissorhands is a weird movie with a lot of heart; this is exactly what Tim Burton is best at. He is my favorite director, for he can take a weird plot idea and make it beautiful. The set and costume designs are amazing.
The acting is great. You feel bad for Edward, because you know he is a misunderstood monster. Johnny Depp is (and I stand by this opinion) one of the best actors out there. He can take any character he is given and add so much personality to it.
Winona Ryder was great in this movie, too. I know I gave this film a 5/5, but I have one minor flaw that I can easily look past: the relationship between Edward and Kim (Winona Ryder) feels rushed. Other than that, I think this is a beautiful film that I will watch every year around Christmas.
With amazing music by Danny Elfman and wonderful direction, this is definitely one of Tim Burton's best films.
