amazing

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2005)

i had doubts about watching this the first time. just the cover of the movie made me avoid it for some time. i mean, why would i really want to watch a biographical story of "the worst filmmaker of all time?" obviously i learned my lesson never to judge a book (or movie) by its cover.
for about 2 years i went to my favorite video store 2 times a week. it seemed as if i had seen every comedy movie in the history of movies. except for one johnny depp movie that stared me right in the face for the longest time. i kept thinking "next time I'm gonna rent ed wood" but then 'next time' came, then i thought "next time" and so on. finally i watched it, and it was one of those masterpieces that you cant get over. I'm glad i spent 2 hours of my day watching it. it was well worth it.
johnny depp never fails to amaze me. in fact, i think he gets better in each movie. this one not only did he do a good job, but he looked awesome. boy, that hair and his face--it just made me happy to watch him as much as the movie.
i, and like many other people, had never ever heard of ed wood. I'm guessing since how many people liked this film, its accurate. correct me if I'm wrong, but i don't think I'm ever gonna watch an ed wood film until the day i die.
i recommend this film to everyone. i don't even think it should be rated R. I've seen a lot of pg-13 movies with just as many cuss words as this. if you don't like it the first time you watch it, try watching it a second time. even a third. i like it more every time i watch it. definitely a 10/10
