Review of Edward Scissorhands (1990) by Maineutral R — 13 Nov 2013
This classic is one of those films you can't stop watching. Its just so charming, it's almost impossible to overlook everytime it's on screen. Edward Scissorhands is also unique because it has a "lovely weirdness", something barely seen in movies (usually the weird stuff stays weird).
Johnny does a very naive, innocent and enchanting central character, and Winona Ryder also delivers an accurate co-star (i'm not a big fan of her by the way). The movie also teaches some kind of message: how we treat a person by how they look, and how selfish we can be when that person is useful and when is not, and also how awful the people can be when they find out they can have control over someone.
All this with some comedy on the way to enjoy. This is just the beginning of the Burton-Depp collaborations that would spawn several other films.
