All he wanted to do was make good movies....

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

.....But of course he failed, miserably. Tim Burton directs the film which gives insight into the career of one of Hollywood's worst director,Ed Wood(played with such enthusiasm by Johnny Depp) a man with a vision to make it in Hollywood.
When you think of a movie about the worst director of all time you'd think it would be a stinker,well you'd be thinking wrong. Ed Wood is Tim Burton and Johnny Depp at their best. everything about this film is wonderful. The script,the cast and the directing.
Its worth mentioning that Johnny's co-stars do a fantastic job,especially Martin Landau's portrayal of horror legend Bela Lagosi. Landau plays him with such passion that you can tell this was a role he enjoyed immensely.
Tim Burton does an excellent job directing this movie,he faithfully recreates scenes,sets and costumes from Wood's movies such as 'Glen or Glenda' 'Bride Of The Monster' and 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' I urge any self respecting Depp or Burton fan who has not already seen this film to buy the DVD without hesitation as you will not be disappointed.
I give this film 10/10.
