Oh Dear , I wanted so to love it.

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2016)

I had seen this one before and had a vague on the positive side memory of it. It was being discussed on the IMDb board and many praised it to the skies. Curious, I re-watched it. Possibly a mistake.
STILL have no clue as to why "The Inventor" gave his creation not only scissors for fingers BUT long, unwieldy, multiple fingers ! The hands are not only useless but in the way. This plot hole is INCREDIBLY distracting !!! That plot problem aside ... the MUSIC is the best thing about the picture. Danny Elfman is the best when it comes to Burton films.
Johnny Depp, Wynona Ryder and Diane Wiest shine at what they are given to do. Peg is one of the best film moms ever. The supporting characters acting-wise are aces. The villainous bully boyfriend is hateful and hated so he was also doing his job. The cop who is kind to Edward is a really interesting addition.
I do wish that I loved this film as I like fantasy stories and such and usually like Burton's quirkiness BUT this one ... not so much.
