thread_title: Good article nominee

message: * First of when mentioning who is in the film in the lead keep it simple such as - The film features Johnny Depp as the eponymous Edward, and also stars Winona Ryder, Dianne Weist, and Anthony Michael.
* It also has a - remove also
* Edward Scissorhands was a hit for Burton commercially and critically - International BO results please : )
* and has become a beloved film amongst both children and adults - This could be considered POV as it is an opinion. There are adults and children who love every film - and those who hate films
* "Edward Scissorhands." Name should not be in quotes
* We are introduced to local - Do not use "We"
* Possible in the plot section tell us who plays who rather than have it in the lead  such as "saleswoman Peg Boggs (Diane West) as"..
I really don't see the harm in that. Wildroot (talk) 15:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the 'plot' section of this article was extremely messy. The sequence was completely out of order and it jumped around a lot. I know the film quite well and this retelling of the plot was misleading and confusing.
I changed the order of a few of the sentences so that it now makes sense, but unfortunately these have now been put back to the way they were previously. I would much appreciate it if this was rectified as I believe it i now too messy and confusing, and not at all an accurate portrayal of the film.

replies: text: WP:MOSFILMS specifies we don't have to describe the film's plot in the same order. I think the plot section is fine considering the first two paragraphs each focus on how Edward is treated by the family and the wider community before describing the story's events.

message: Maybe it is just because I woke up from a short nap on my day off from camp, but it seems that the grammar throughout this article is unusual if not incorrect or somewhat incoherent. I myself might edit it at some point if I have the time, but if anyone else wants to take a shot at it, feel free. Valley2city 23:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Matthew Bourne version

message: I'd say it's more drama/fantasy. Dunno, it's more subtly ironic than comedic, and most of the absurd or funny moments are actually rather sad seeing how scared or confused Edward gets. Also, it's a quite tragic film, not only in the ending but through the whole plot. I don't agree on the “comedy” part of the definition. 80.35.16.144 (talk) 17:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a comedy-drama. The whole premise is kinda absurd and funny if you think about it. A man with scissors for hands falls in love with a suburban girl. Then again, I guess that can be taken a little dramatic. Wildroot (talk) 13:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Comedy?

message: The lead refers to Burton talking about growing up in Burbank.  In the body where it talks about the film's development, it says it was in the Santa Clarita Valley.  I don't which is correct, but Burbank is in the San Fernando Valley, not the Santa Clarita Valley, so the two sentences contradict one another. 64.124.27.3 (talk) 00:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Not mentioned in Allmovie, Box office mojo, or the majority of RT reviews, so doesn't seem to have due weight for WP:FILMLEAD. A google search of 'Edward scissorhands dark fantasy' also suggests a difficulty in finding reliable sources for it. I recommend removing 'dark', or replacing it with 'gothic (fiction)' since that seems to be mentioned frequently. Barely made one (talk) 01:48, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Dark fantasy'? 

message: The page  in 2006, a lot of content was removed, and it was never fixed. I am interested in one of the lines removed: "Tim Burton stated that he named the lead character Edward because of its similarity to the name Ed Wood." Any references to this?  - Jay Talk 12:13, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 vandalism and Ed Wood 

message: The article states: "Depp's wardrobe and prosthetic makeup took one hour and 45 minutes to apply." I'm surprised that it did not take more time. I am wondering, though, how much discomfort was involved with the costume and prosthetics. Whether the outfit was leather or vinyl, it must have been hot with the tight cinching, especially under the lights required; likewise, his skin under the heavy make-up. The scissor-hands prosthetics must have required practice and exercise in order to build up Depp's hand muscles so they wouldn't tire and cramp during filming. Was there any mention in the trade journals about these topics? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 19:27, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
