A Creative Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2002)

Batman is still by far Tim Burton's greatest picture but this film is by far his most creative. In what many have called "the re-telling of Frankenstein" Burton creates a world like no other. There is a scene where Kim (Winona Ryder) is dancing to the "snow" to Danny Elfman's beautiful score and that has to be one of the most beautiful scenes ever captured on film. The film stars Johnny Depp in what is perhaps his greatest performance and he portrays Edward in such a superb way that it is impossible to imagine someone else playing that character. Now with Burton, Depp, and Danny Elfman, in what once again should have been an Oscar-Winning score, mix the right elements to achieve the status of this wonderful picture.
