Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are excellent

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2008)

In a castle high on top of a hill lives an inventor's greatest creation - Edward, a near-complete person. The creator died before he could finish Edward's hands; instead, Edward is left with metal scissors for hands. Edward has always lived alone, until a kind lady called Peg discovers Edward and welcomes him into her home. At first, everyone welcomes Edward into the community, but soon things begin to take a change for the worse. The story is silly but original and I loved it. Johnny Depp was great in one of his earlier roles and so were all the support cast like Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest and Alan Arkin. Tim Burton creates a great movie with an explosion of colour and beauty. I know if anyone else directed this it would have fallen flat on its face. You should definitely see this movie!
