Tim Burton . . . You always surprise me!!

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2005)

I loved this movie. I thought is was SO funny!!!!! Johnny Depp did a fantastic job at being Ed Wood, and Martin Landau was no exception. Surprisingly, Sarah Jessica Parker did a fantastic job, and this is one of Bill Murray's better roles. It was a funny and touching movie, and proves that Edward D. Wood Jr. was not some demented transvestite who made horrible movies. It showed the audience the fuel that was motivating Ed's choices, instead of making him into some freak. What I loved was the bond that was created between Bela and Ed. This is where Depp and Landau come in handy. They did such terrific jobs, Depp turning Wood into a sweet, sincere, funny person, and Landau creating a beautiful picture of Bela Lugosi. I cried when Bela died. It was very sad.
Ed Wood is a wonderful movie, humorous and touching. I deduct a point for the profound use of language. Geez!
