Almost makes you think that Ed Wood was a genius.

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2013)

Now here is one of the great films about making....films. For those who don't know, Ed Wood is known to be not one of the, but the worst director of all time. This film celebrates his legacy with great love and respect. Tim Burton is one who, in my personal opinion has never made a truly great movie. That was until I saw Ed Wood. Speaking of Ed Wood his character is portrayed by Johnny Depp. Despite me claiming that Johnny Depp is an overrated actor, his performance in this film is so good, it almost made me respect Ed Wood as one of the greats. By that I mean that Depp shows how much this man loved his work that it almost makes you love his work too. One of my favorite lines is when Ed Wood is in a waiting room explaining to a lady, his future wife, about his profession in life....and he compares himself to the great Orson Welles. Now while this may seem ridiculous to most, just the way Depp explains this makes you think, Hey! Ya know, that really makes sense. That is because it is so true. Ed wood is the B version of Orson Welles....actually, make that the D version of Orson Welles. There is one line that truly sums up Ed Woods legacy. That line is towards the end of the film during the premiere of Plan 9 From Outer Space when Ed Wood says, "This is what I'll be remembered for."
