Personally I really liked this film. The music matches this film. We can see it's a Tim Burton film because the decor is very original. This is a suburb but a special suburb because the houses are identical and people's lives are identical. The story is very good too: Edward a young man with scissors instead of hands meets Peg. He is greeted by Peg, her husband, Bill, her son, Kevin, and her daughter, Kim. Edward discovers real life and fall in love with Kim but she has a boyfriend, Jim. But after a while Kim falls in love with Edward. Jim is so angry, when Edward accidentally hurts Kim, Jim calls him a freak. Edward flees and destroys everything out of anger. But he sees Kevin and he saves his life but he accidentally hurts Kevin. As a consequence to this misunderstanding, the neighborhood would like Edward go back to his mansion. A sad Kim goes to Edward's castle and tells him: "I love you" Edward kill Jim to save Kim's life and Kim tells the neighborhood that Edward is dead. Edward sculpts an ice angel of Kim dancing and thus creates snow.
I love the last scene: Kim is a grandmother and she explains why it is snowing to her granddaughter. The story is very sad for me, mostly the last scene in the future.
It reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another Tim Burton film. This film is full of fantastic, typical of Tim Burton's world. This film is amazing, people are crazy like in Edward Scissor hands. Peg's suburb is like the chocolate Factory, colored and joyful.
As a conclusion, I think that it was a very good film with an interesting story and very good actors.
