Superb biopic

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2018)

Ed Wood is widely regarded as the maker of some of the worst movies of all time. Plan 9 From Outer Space is a frequent contender for THE Worst Movie of all Time. This is the story of Ed Wood.
Superb biopic, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as Ed Wood. The Burton-Depp combination is critical to the brilliance of this movie. My most accounts Wood was an eccentric character and who better to direct a movie on such a man than Tim Burton and who better to play him than Johnny Depp.
The finished product is quite wonderful in its portrayal of Wood. For all the criticism he faces as a director, he remains naively, serenely optimistic in the quality of his films. While his qualities as an artist can be faulted, his enthusiasm and perseverance cannot.
Great homage to an underestimated, misunderstood devotee of the silver screen.
