Truly Awful

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2010)

If Burton was paying homage to Wood by making a truly horrible film than he hit it right on the nose. But just likes Wood's films, this movie should only be watched by those dire fans or as a joke. The character with any depth was Wood and that seemed forced beyond belief. Why would anyone think that a film about the worst director of all and his terrible movies would make for a good movie. This is not a mainstream film but meant for those obsessive weirdos that like to watch Burton films by themselves at 3:30 in the morning. This film only shows how bad Hollywood films really can be, with its subject matter and with itself. This film should never have been allowed to be a big budget film with any real actors but if he truly wanted to capture the tone of Wood's life, he should have used a handful of bad B list actors that never made it big.
