Eddie take a bow

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2001)

I think this movie is great. It deserved best picture, best score, best cinematography, best actor and supporting actor. My favorite actor in this movie is Johnny Depp. He is great as Ed and becomes a totally different person in the process. I'm surprised he actually has a movie that I can say is great. I usually don't like Depp movies. Burton? Well, forget Burton. I'm not ready to start praising Burton for this film when the rest of the crew is fine without. It's a good thing this film wasn't like a Burton film because I would have hated. Ok, some people say Ed Wood is weird, but at least it isn't Burton weird.
The only problem with this movie for me is that it goes by too fast. In the very end when the song This IS the One comes on I can't help but shed a tear. Those beginning shots and ending shots of Hollywood are phenomenal. This movie got me to admire Edward D. Wood Jr. I had already seen Plan 9 because of my admiration for Bela Lugosi. When I was little I found out about this movie. I thought it was about Bela Lugosi. I had no idea who Ed Wood was, but to my surprise he was the director of that great movie Plan 9 from Outer Space. Not to mention his other greats. This movie shows how Ed wasn't screwing around he was doing what he loved. I think people that labeled him worst director of all time are ignorant people. As for the others that say how bad a film maker he is. They are ignorant too. I hope where ever Ed Wood is he can see how some people like myself admire him. Like Criswell said in the premiere scene, Eddie take a bow. 10 out of 10.
