A total delight.

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2011)

This film is marvellous. From the characters to the costumes to the set designs, Tim Burton got everything right with this his (in my personnel opinion) best film to date. Edward is portrayed brilliantly by Johnny Depp as he brings vulnerability, wit and charm to the role that really launched his career as one of the most talented character actors working in Hollywood today. I love this film and you will too. It's incredibly touching, whilst filmed with high brow comedy and tortuous drama. One scene in particular, involving Edward and Winona Ryder's character Kim is so heart breaking it's untrue. But rest assured I won't go into the scene - instead I'll let you watch it and come to the same realisation as I did...and that is, that that scene and Edward Scissorhands is one of the most enchanting fairy tales ever made. To verify this and my general enthusiasm for this film, I will leave you with the summary of RottenTomatoes (a prestigious film review website written by world renowned critics) verdict on it:
"The first collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands is a magical modern fairy tale with Gothic overtones and a sweetcentre". Score - 91%
