A masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2009)

Edward Scissorhands is one of my all-time favorite movies, and is something I could watch over and over again.
Here, Johnny Depp gives his best performance. It's amazing how he went from a bad boy role in Cry Baby with a sad, vulnerable character in Edward Scissorhands.
This is also Burton's best work. If this is the first film you watch by Tim Burton, you will think he is a fantastic director. Danny Elfman's score also helped the film because it's happy at the right times, and it's sad and mellow at the right times.
Overall, the story was very heartfelt and emotional, the score was amazing, the acting was superb, and the suburban setting gave the film a fairy tale feel to it. Because the film is like a fairy tale.
