Wildly imaginitive.

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 2003)

Director Tim Burton (SLEEPY HOLLOW, MARS ATTACKS!) collaborates once again with the great Johnny Depp to bring us EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. The film is quite original, and very clever as it holds on tightly to the 'fairy tale' concept.
The film is not so much a comedy as it is a fairy tale drama. There were several scenes where I was very much enthralled. Those were the scenes where most of the action was taking place. Some of the other parts were a little slow, but then there were some of the humorous moments. There are not very many of them in this film, but the few comic scenes had me laughing oh so very hard.
Since I also neglected to read the synopsis on the back of the film's case, I was still under the impression that Edward was a serial killer when I began watching the film. So, of course I was expecting a horror film, so what actually *was* EDWARD SCISSORHANDS was quite a nice surprise.
EDWARD SCISSORHANDS: 4/5.
