Magic!

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2011)

'Ed Wood' is a miracle of a film. It's amongst the finest biopics ever, it entertains big time & leaves you in awe of it. Tim Burton, Johnny Depp & Martin Landau are at their peak here.
'Ed Wood' is The mostly true story of the legendary director of awful movies and his strange group of friends and actors.
Edward D. Wood, Jr is a cult filmmaker. His movies are remembered to this day. His vision, though considered utter rubbish at his time, has turned out to be path-breaking for some over the years.
His adventurous yet depressing journey unfolds with flourish in 'Ed Wood'. It's one terrific biopic, behind the journey of a man who believed in his vision & stood by it, even when the world behaved badly towards his vision. Though he never got mainstream success, his life, as a cinematic experience, turns out to be more interesting than many biopics ever filmed.
Tim Burton delivers the film of his life in 'Ed Wood'. He has managed to deliver a legendary film, that is captivatingly arresting & amazingly executed. Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski's Screenplay is pure magic! Cinematography is top-class. Editing is razor-sharp. Make-Up is terrific. Art Design is satisfactory.
Performance-Wise: Johnny Depp & Martin Landau, both perform like never before. Depp plays 'Ed Wood' astonishingly, proving once again that he is amongst the best in the business. Landau, on the other-hand, plays legendary actor Bela Lugosi, and he's absolutely stunning in his portrayal. Among other performances, Sarah Jessica Parker as Ed Wood's Girlfriend Dolores Fuller & Bill Murray as Ed Wood's openly-gay friend Bunny, are excellent. Others lend very good support.
On the whole, 'Ed Wood' is Amongst The Finest Biopics of All-Times. An Outstanding Cinematic Achievement! Two Big Thumbs Up!
