One of Tim Burton's finest.

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2002)

Ed Wood is one of the finest (possible even THE finest) films that Tim Burton has ever made. It is basically a bio-pic of 1950's film director Edward D. Wood Jnr, who today is regarded as one of the worst directors of all time. Having said that, Wood's films are more sought after today than many of his more talented counterparts and have stood the test of time with reasonable success. In the movie he idolises Orson Welles and dreams of being a successful writer/director just like him, and although many have pointed out its inaccuracies - (I only know there is inaccuracies because somebody else told me there was)- I highly recommend this movie. Prior knowledge of Wood's work is not required to enjoy the film - (I had no idea who he was when I first saw it) - as it is just a genuinely engrossing tale of a little fish in a big pond.
