A Wonderful Fairy Tale

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2014)

Tim Burton had made three great movies during the 80s such as "Pee Wee's Big Adventure;" "Beetlejuice;" and "Batman." Now as we enter in the 90s, Burton makes a movie about a man with his hands that are razor sharp scissors and my thoughts on the movie was wonderful. "Edward Scissorhands" is a wonderful fairy tale that is Gothic; funny; sad; and totally original. This is the first movie that Burton collaborates with Johnny Depp before they go on to make movies together such as "Ed Wood;" "Sleepy Hollow;" "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory;" "Corpse Bride;" "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street;" "Alice in Wonderland;" and so far "Dark Shadows." Don't know what they will work on next. I know everyone gets sick of Burton for casting Depp and Burton's wife Helena Bonham Carter to be in movies together, but I have no issues with that whatsoever. Anyway, I thought Depp did such a fascinating job for playing the main character of the film's premise. Also, I thought Winona Ryder was really good in her role as Edward's love interest. Anthony Michael Hall and the rest of the cast all did great. I thought Danny Elfman's music was beautifully well scored, and I thought the look of Depp's character is extremely well done. I don't have any problems with the movie, but I know that this movie is one of Burton's greatest achievements. I give "Edward Scissorhands" a 10 out of 10. Check it out!
