A PG - 13 film for all ages.

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2004)

Tim Burton. The Director of Beetlejuice, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Mars Attacks, Big Fish and Batman. Out of all of those, only two were good. Then, in '90, we got to see an almost human story that was hard to believe, but still, was enjoyable. It's the story about a man named Edward, Who had scissors for hands, who lived by himself in a big haunted looking mansion with beautiful hedges and awesome animals. Edward meets Dianne Weist's character, and takes him with her to town, once there, he must adapt to new surroundings and new friends, and the occasional villain.
I saw this film about a week ago, and found myself enjoying every part of the movie, I really felt the ending was heartbreaking, but all in vain, It was good, I have no shame to admit I had a big IL' tear streaming down my face in the last four minutes. It was a work of art.
The composer seemed to make this movie flow slowly, and made you feel bad for his 'condition', but still enjoying the film.
I write 'A PG - 13 film for the family' because, other than being creepy, It teaches you a lesson that appearances may be deceiving, but everyone's insides are the same, that you'll never change, no matter who you are. The movie also had The Late Vincent Price, playing the inventor, only two of his several hundred roles I had seen him in.
My Advice: If you find it, Rent it for the family, you won't regret it. 10/10.
