Bad storyline, bad acting

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2013)

I realise this movie is considered almost a classic by others, but after finally watching it I can honestly saw I'm terribly disappointed with the whole thing. First off, the acting is terrible, which is quite surprising considering there are so many famous faces in the cast list.
Another thing that was bad with this movie is the whole storyline in general! Why did the inventor give Edward scissors for hands if he was later planning on giving him REAL hands? Why exactly did Kim's boyfriend hate Edward so much? Edward wasn't stealing Kim away in the beginning, so it wasn't like he was a threat. Jim had absolutely no reason to hate Edward and act as psychotic as he did in the end.
The character Esmeralda serves NO purpose in this movie. You see her 3 times, vaguely hinting that Edward is evil, yet her accusations add absolutely nothing to the story.
Throughout the movie, none of the characters show any personal development. As the watcher, I never saw what made Kim fall in love with Edward. Sure, breaking up with Jim was logical, but what was it about Edward that drew her in? She never even spoke to him.
One last thing that I found quite funny though was how apparently, in the logic of this film, snow comes from ice, and ice blocks just tend to magically appear in this place where no snow ever comes down, and where the temperature is seemingly not below freezing.
