Boris Karloff is a...well lets leave it at that.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2008)

One of my favorite movies of all time. Not just because of the Depp-Burton thing, but because I have been a fan of Edward D. Wood Jr. for many years. Here is a story of a man who wanted to entertain, and thats exactly what he did. It may not have been the way he wanted to do it, but nonetheless, it was still entertaining. Its only sad that he couldn't have lived to see this movie. There are a lot of things one could say about Ed Wood, and some of them would not be to nice, but this film makes him look like a star. One hell of a nice guy that just wanted to get a story out of his head and into the eyes of everyone else. No matter how bad things would get he always had a good attitude about it all, and that should show most of us that no matter what happens in life, you just take it and try again. If it were not for writers like him we might not have some of the great directors we have now. People who take a shot at something and hope for the best. Some of us may not be able to take a leap like that. The movie well fits the man and his band of friends that were with him the whole way through making some of the worst films in movie history. I give this movie a ten because it is one of Tim Burton's best films and has a good heart. I am just glad it didn't go as far as some of Ed Wood's later movies. I am a fan of Bela Lugosi, and its very cool to me when my son wanted to know more about him and his movies. This film should be shown to younger generations (well not kids) to not ever forget the people from the past and how good some of those movies were, even if some where bad.
