Possibly the most moving, touching movie ever made!

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 1999)

What can one say about Edward Scissorhands that has not been said a million times before. A true delight from start to finish. This is the movie that turned me on to Johnny Depp and he has never let me down since. This movie could easily have shot Depp into the mega-star/mega-bucks bracket and it is too his credit that he still continues to make the kind of movies that he wants to make and shuns his potential super-star status. I adore this man!!!! I have watched this movie umpteen times but now find that I fast forward certain scenes, and relish others. I love the scene where Ed is trying to pick up his peas with his scissor blades and also the scene where he is the 'show and tell' at school - perfect timing, perfect imagary. The ending is deeply moving. A masterpiece of story telling. Johnny Depp has said that he identified with Edward completely and was deeply sorry when filming ended as he knew he would never again look in the mirror and see his alter-ego looking back. Talented, gifted, misunderstood - Edward or Johnny? We may have lost Edward Scissorhands but thank God we still have Johnny Depp!!
