One of the best.

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 1999)

I simply loved this film. I don't see why Hollywood didn't like this film. They thought that it didn't have a happy ending (Edward D. Wood, Jr., of course, never had a mainstream audience in his life.) That's not what the film is trying to say. The moral is, no one else has to like the sort of films you make. As long as you like them, they're more priceless than any other movie.
Although this does cover the most amazing segment of Wood's life, I, myself, would've liked to have seen the making of "Night of the Ghouls", "The Violent Years", or "The Sinister Urge". And some stories are left untouched, like the time when Tor Johnson swallowed five bottles of wine and fell unconscious, and it took a dozen men to get him to the ambulance. Still, this is a very entertaining movie. Johnny Depp is probably at his best here (he's a good neurotic), along with Martin Landau, but my favorite probably is probably a toss-up between the guys who played Conrad Brooks or Paul Marco.
In short, this is a film that will appeal to any fan of the B-movie industry.
Now I just wonder if there could be a biography of Coleman Francis or Roger Corman . . .
