Brilliant! Marvelous! Fantastic!

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2003)

This movie is genius Tim Burton's tribute to the infamous "Worst Director of All Time" Edward D. Wood Jr. All of the performances in this film are great- Johnny Depp, Martin Landeau (in the role that won him an Oscar), Jeffrey Jones and Lisa Marie shine through in particuarly. The film also benifits hugely from Tim Burton's keen visual eye, which faithfully re-creates scenes from Gen or Glenda?, Bride of the Monster, and Plan 9 from Outer Space down to the very last detail. I watched this movie right after viewing Plan 9, so all the images were fresh in my mind- and it's often hard to believe that they did not use footage from the actual movies. I give this movie a 10/10
