Tim Burton's Greatest Film

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2010)

I think this is definitely Tim Burton's most amazing film-every aspect seems to fit and all the acting is excellent. The best part, I think, is the simplicity. The film communicates about being different and how people are not accepted, a basic moral but done well, Tim Burton-style.
The film showcases the director's unique abilities with his own interesting characters and little details-and the score by Danny Elfman is really memorable.
Johnny Depp will forever be remembered for not just Jack Sparrow, but for Edward Scissorhands, the role that brought him into film. His character is a sort of Of Mice and Men idea, hurting the things that he loves. Winona Ryder and all the other supporting actors play their roles to perfection, notably Vincent Price in his last film role.
Although the suburban design is a bit outrageous (the blandness idea is really forced onto you), it really shows a place we find boring may be an amazing place to others.
The film is an astonishing combination of music and visual effects and I think it may well be Tim Burton's greatest film.
