One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2005)

And quite easily one of the top 10 of the 90's. Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood, Jr in Tim Burton's Ed Wood, which is a recreation of the now famed director's early plight into getting his films made. His films are shunned in Hollywood when they are made because they mostly contain stock footage and Ed Wood seems to have an obsession with doing only 1 take in his films no matter how atrocious the scene goes, telling everyone that 'It's Perfect' when it's anything but. As I've stated, I think that this is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. It's doesn't feed you a lot of nonsense like most of the films do these days. It tells what is pretty close to how I perceive Hollywood really works. I'm pretty sure they took some artistic liberties with parts of the story, because some things seem a little far fetched even for a film about Ed Wood's life, but all in all, I liked it. It's very well made. And Martin Landau should be applauded for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi. Absolutely amazing. I recommend this film to any and everyone. Knockout cast. Knockout story.
I rate it 9/10
