fantastic fairytale

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2003)

One of the best Tim Burton films. Its the classic fish-out-of-story water, a fairytale with a sad ending, and the masterful way Burton leads us through the unjust persecution of the character is enough to make people cry. Most people i know cry at this film everytime they watch it. The character of Edward is just so beautiful and yet so tragic that its nigh on impossible not to be horrified at the neighbours treatment of him.
The acting is superb, and just perfect for the fantastical element in Tim Burtons films. The characters so over the top and stereotyped that its surprising to see people we recognise in them. The relationship formed between Edward and Kim is heartbreaking at the end... All in all, a fantastic film. But not one for people with no imagination.
