I knew what to expect from "Edward Scissorhands" before having even watched it as I've never been a fan of Tim Burton's quirky gothic style, but strangely enough, even though it does have that typical Burton visual flair, it's surprisingly sweet and not as dark as I expected it to be.

Granted, it's not an impressive work and is severely weak in several aspects, there are things about that are worth mentioning, such as its unique look, bizarre central character and satirical messages that remain relevant to this day.

Because of these notable aspects, "Edward Scissorhands" is worth watching, but sadly, there's not much more to it than that.
