Good film, but a few things off from perfection

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2007)

I bought this film a few days ago and I decided to watch it last night. I know this film did not do to well in the box office, but I think it was because not many people have heard of Ed Wood Jr. at the time, nor were fans of his films. This film is biography of the late Ed Wood Jr the worst film director of all time and his struggle to make it to the top of the film industry world.
Now I do have some issues with this film, mainly some miscasting. Sarah Jessica Parker in my opinion could not bring the emotion and feeling of Dolores Fuller. The best quote from her in the film is "Do I really look like a horse?" It's the best quote from her because it's true Sarah Jessica Parker does look like a horse in this film. While I am a fan of Jeffrey Jones (Ferris Buller's Day Off, Howard the Duck, etc.) I just could not feel him become Criswell. I think Mr. Jones may I have tried to hard to try to be like Criswell, which really hurt his performance.
While there were some miscasting problems, there were some actors who really hit the part right. Johhny Depp in my eyes became Ed Wood Jr. and I could just almost the spirit of Ed Wood Jr. in Mr. Depp. I also felt that Martin Landau become Bela Lugosi and in my opinion I though My Lugosi came back from the dead just to do his own part in this film.
Overall if you are a fan of Ed Wood Jr. films then you should give this film a chance. It gives you an in site to his weird and wacky world of film making.
