An Imaginative World Only Possible By Tim Burton!

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2008)

Edward Scissorhands (1990, Dir. Tim Burton)
In a castle high on top of a hill, an inventor had created his greatest creation. He had created Edward, a near complete person. The creator died before he could finish Edward's hands. Instead, Edward is left with metal scissors for hands. Edward always lived alone, that is until a kind lady called Peg discovers Edward and welcomes him into his home. At first, everyone welcomes Edward into the community, but soon things begin to take a change for the worst.
'Edward Scissorhands' is one of those breathtaking pieces of cinema, which open up the imagination completely. Directed by Tim Burton, Music Composed by Danny Elfman and starring the wonderful Johnny Depp. All the ingredients to make not just a perfect Burton movie, but an overall perfect movie. The movie is amazingly created with a tale which you would have not heard before. The costumes are fascinating and the casting is superb. What a better person to work with, for Vincent Price on his last big theatrical role. What really stands out though, is the amazing colours placed throughout the film. Tim Burton goes for his usual dark scenery, but once away from the creepy old castle, the screen comes alive with every colour imaginable. If you haven't seen this film yet, then you don't know what your missing.
