Edward Classic Scissorhands

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2008)

Mesmerising and compelling. Loved it and still do, makes me tingle with its moving film locations, icy ways and haunting music. Emotional. Masterful. Johnny Depp is really outstanding in his role as Edward Scissorhands. A unique creation from the imaginative mind of Burton. A breakthrough partnership Depp-Burton they just click. Winona Ryder is very lovely in this, sweet and beautiful, definitely one of her best and earlier roles in film. Dianne West as the Avon Lady mum cracks me up big time, shes awesome. Anthony Micheal Hall he's just a pain in this with the bugger role he has! Makes you loathe him so he does a good job. Putting Vincent Price in there too as Edward's creator that was perfection. Loved the town, its weird people and the boxy sameness with gaudy colours. There is some breath taking scenery in this, and who actually does the hedge shapes? There wonderful. A classic film, moving, visual, epic magnitude, very stimulating and very artistic fires off all emotions. Seen countless times. Watching it with Rachael again really was special and it makes me so sad yet so happy. Cant wait to see the new Sweeney Todd film on the 21st of December,definitely been too long since Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands
