A touching, beautiful film

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2004)

I loved Edward Scissorhands. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to kill people who were mean to Edward. The entire movie had a fairy-tale feel to it, and Johnny Depp was perfectly cast as the main character. I loved his little pouty confused face. The film follows his plight through love, loss, and being different. Throughout all he remains kind and innocent, but in the end it becomes clear that Edward was too good for the world.
Winona Ryder played the teenage daughter of the family that takes Edward in well, but Johnny definitely steals the show. I love Tim Burton's writing and directing. I give it a 9/10
