Meet The Worst Director Of All Time

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2015)

The movie Ed Wood is a comical, and, at times, heart-felt, tribute to that very same director, Ed Wood Jr., who has been unanimously voted, over and over again, as 'Worst Movie Director Of All Time'. After watching this flick I find it hard to imagine any other movie director who is more deserving of such a fitting title as this. Ed Wood is almost in a class of his own.
Ed Wood was the guy who, literally, made 'Z-Grade Movie History'. Now, there's certainly a claim that not many movie-directors could (or would) boast about on their resumes. But you can bet that Ed Wood most surely would.
Had Ed Wood not been such a resourceful con-man he would've probably never achieved such an impressive niche in the world of lame movies.
With such classic, but inept, offerings as Plan 9 From Outer Space it's obvious that Wood's resourcefulness as a con-man was only succeeded by his incompetence as a film director.
Of course, without the eccentric directorial touches of Tim Burton, Ed Wood would never have been the unique gem that it is. The use of glossy, black and white film, rather than colour, gave Ed Wood the true feel of the 1950's.
Ed Wood is Burton's loving tribute to a long-gone director who's time has come for some much-deserved recognition as the worst of them all.
