Strongly acted, but too long to really enjoy it.

Rating: 6/10 (3 January 2013)

Ed Wood impresses with a good cast (though it can get confusing with the many speaking parts it exhibits) but is a film that leads into nowhere. Obviously, Burton reveres Wood in some strange way, but he can't (or just doesn't) stop this biography of drifting off into a boring tale of a strange transvestite. A 80 minute flick would've told everything that needed to be told. But besides the protracting, Ed Wood is an interesting as well as odd story and you can have a nice time with it. I'll give it an extra point because of the acting of Martin Landau who rightly got the Oscar, Bill Murray who is responsible for the comical parts, and Johnny Depp who portrays Ed Wood as authentic as possible.
