A beautiful fairy tale

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2001)

^*^Minor Spoilers^*^ Edward Scissorhands (played by the outstanding Johnny Depp) tells the story of a young man with scissors for hands. Unable to hold or hug anyone, he still is able to love with a passion. This movie, directed by the genius Tim Burton, is a visual masterpiece. The sets are beautiful; I loved how they made the amazing contrast with the pastel houses and Edward's castle. One of the main things that completed the beauty of this movie was the amazing score by composer Danny Elfman. Winona Ryder plays Kim Boggs, the cheerleader who has Edward's affection. She excels in this role, and the chemistry between her and Edward create a tear-jerking performance ("Hold me"..."I can't"). Vincent Price delivers a great performance as the Inventor. Overall, I give this movie ***** out of *****; a must rent for all Tim Burton fans!
