Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2013)

Story/Plot - Edward Scissorhands is the emotional story written by Tim Burton and Caroline Thompson. In a small American suburban town lies a castle upon a large hill. In this castle lives the most extravagant and meticulous invention ever created. This invention is the boy Edward Scissorhands. However Edward has not yet been finished and has the unusual choice of scissors for his hands.
Edward has spent many years after his creator passed on living in this castle on his own. To Edwards surprise one day a very kind hearted Avon lady comes to the castle and discovers Edward. She makes an on the spot decision and decided to take Edward home with her to her family.
Edward is welcomed into the home and quickly becomes well liked by family and neighbours alike. However as time goes by all this quickly worsens for Edward and he finds him self in danger. Kim, Peg's daughter is able to see past everything and is able to fully understand Edward and her feelings towards him.
Edward is again left to spend many years on his own in the castle.
My Verdict - This is a very emotional and loving film, following Edward through his acceptance into the community and the drama that follows after. Johnny Depp portrays his character with sheer passion and drive, I cannot fault anything about this man. Winona Ryder as Kim is a perfect choice and she shows her character to the full emotion of true love. Dianne West as Peg is outstanding, she portrays the epitome of an Avon lady and a huge hearted lady.
