Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2007)

You don't have to be a Johnny Depp fan to love this movie.He is excellent but so is everyone else who appears in this great movie.Tim Burton directed and the love he has for his subject shines through very clear.
This movie tells the story of real life movie director Ed Wood and his loyal pack of misfits as they tried to help Wood fulfill his vision of making movies ,even though he had no talent at all for it.Many of his movies are considered the worst ever made.And his "Plan 9 from Outer Place" is usually considered the very worst film ever.Wood ended up making soft-core porn and drinking himself to death.But with this movie he will forever be remembered and loved.
This movie,shot in black and white,will appeal to anyone who is a horror movie fan or a movie fan in general. Johnny Depp is wonderful in the title role.He plays the cross-dressing Wood with every bit of his fiber.Martin Landau,as Bela Lugosi,is as good as anyone I've ever see in any role.He becomes Lugosi so much you forget that it isn't Lugosi himself on screen.Watch this movie to see Landau if for no other reason.The humanity that Landau brings to his portrayal of the aging ,ailing, dope addicted Lugosi is so much more than you would ever expect from him.
There are other familiar faces throughout this movie and everyone is superb.The writing is funny and dead on and the direction is perfect.This is one of those movies you will want to buy so you can watch it again and again. The DVD has many extras that are worth the price alone.
