I think it combines a drama movie with a thriller movie in a perferct form, you can find some emotive and happy sequences, on the other side some horrible and dramatic sequences, everything is the performance of Johny Depp

Edward Scissorhands is one of the best Christmas movies ever made. It's also Johnny Depp's best movie as well as Tim Burton's. An absolute cathartic joy, Edward Scissorhands is a beautiful modern fairytale for young and old alike. A true classic!

Other films that are genuinely moving are The Elephant Man, Fearless and Camille. Edward Scissorhands is a film of darkness and beauty, that makes it such a wonderful and unique film to see. One thing that I really liked about EdwardOther films that are genuinely moving are The Elephant Man, Fearless and Camille. Edward Scissorhands is a film of darkness and beauty, that makes it such a wonderful and unique film to see. One thing that I really liked about Edward Scissorhands was the music score by Danny Elfman, which was very beautiful, sensitive and mysterious. A good example is in the beginning credits, with the angelic choir accompanying the Christmas-like images on screen. The cinematography was gorgeous, with bright imaginative close-ups contrasted with genuinely Gothic scenes, like when we first meet Edward in the dark house. The script, while not the strongest category of the film, was still very touching, and added to the charm and suspense that was already ensured in the film. The direction by Tim Burton had all his trademarks, very dark and suspenseful, evident in films like Batman and Sleepy Hollow, if a little odd at times, which is fairly typical of Burton. While there were one or two funny moments, the film is genuinely poignant, with a heart-rending ending. I will say I was most impressed with the acting, topped by Johnny Depp's tragic and poignant portrayal of the title character, and then Winona Ryder as Kim, while not quite as convincing is still very sensitive. I was shocked that Depp didn't get an Oscar for his performance, he doesn't say much, but his facial expressions fully justify. There was also sterling support from Dianne West, Kathy Baker et al, while Vincent Price in a minor role as the inventor also impresses, such a shame he died three years later, he was a brilliant actor, if you see him as the truly Machiavellian villain in Great Mouse Detective, or the sadistic Matthew Hopkins in Witchfinder General, you'll know what I mean. As I have already said, the ending is so heart-rending, that I will confess I got through half'a box of tissues. Overall, a remarkably beautiful and poignant film that had me speechless. My advice to anyone who hasn't seen it, and is planning to, have a box of tissues at the ready, it is that sad. 10/10 Bethany Cox.… Expand

OH MY GOSH! This was the WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!!! And I'm not just saying that... I've seen my fair share of bad movies, but 'Edward Scissorhands' was literally the WORST OF ALL! The title itself practically OH MY GOSH! This was the WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!!! And I'm not just saying that... I've seen my fair share of bad movies, but 'Edward Scissorhands' was literally the WORST OF ALL! The title itself practically gives away the whole dull plot of this terrible movie, and I must say that I have absolutely no idea why a man with Johnny Depp's talents would resort to acting in it, and why anyone would like this trash... Why is the user rating on metacritic so high!? 'Edward Scissorhands' is another work of utter garbage from a most dreadful director/screenwriter in Tim Burton, who has not as of yet (and most likely never will) created a movie that is enjoyable to watch in the slightest. How can he still be allowed to write and direct movies for Hollywood, and how can anyone possibly bear to give him any compliments for his works of complete and utter crap!? The first time I watched 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (the original) I wasn't particularly impressed, but after watching Tim Burton's feeble attempt at it (why was Johnny Depp in this one as well? Does he feel sorry for Burton or are they so closely related that his parents won't let him refuse his offers or something), I thought of the original as quite a masterpiece. I like randomness, in fact I think it brings in an amusing factor that is often needed in a movie, but Tim Burton's 'random' just adds more boring to his already tedious and nonsensical story-lines. Wasn't Beetlejuice supposed to be a comedy/horror movie...? Those are the best two combination to keep a viewer interested, but I actually fell asleep after just 15 minutes... ...and I'd gotten 14 hours sleep the night before!!! What made 'Edward Scissorhands' all the worse for me was that, after viewing it at school (I would never have watched it otherwise), our whole English class had to explore into the movies' depths and find out how it was made and how different stupid things had hidden meanings (things that Tim Burton himself probably didn't even think about when writing it). Delving into the movie itself did nothing to make me enjoy it any more, in fact it made the dreary experience just as bad as when I watched it in the first place (I mean it couldn't possibly get any worse!), it just took a hell of a lot longer to get through. So overall, 'Edward Scissorhands', worst movie ever, pointless plot, overly colorful, completely unfunny, totally unrealistic (which ties in with my last point, if the unrealism had a little humor it would have been okay, but scissorhands...? Scissorhands!? That's like something a Primary School Child would think is cool, until they GROW UP!!!), awfully directed and written (I hate you Tim Burton!), and even completely disgusting at times (what was that woman doing to Depp in the back room?). I wouldn't recommend this atrocity of a film to anyone with at least half a brain.… Expand

A film that only Burton could make, his direction is as sound as usual and he manages to evoke considerable sympathy for this tragic figure who is, otherwise, a normal man but cursed to live his days with scissors as hands. Johnny Depp does a great job bringing this man to life and brings a certain tenderness and has fantastic chemistry with Winona Ryder when it comes to the romantic element of the film. The writing is incredibly strong and, together with Burton's direction, keeps this one reined in and keeps it from getting out of control when it easily could have with such a crazy premise. The characters are well developed and truly multi-dimensional. Edward Scissorhands' portrayal of suburban life also feels delightfully and quintessentially late 80s, early 90s and really serves as a perfect backdrop for the introduction of such a weird and unique person. Though I may be one of the few to have never seen Edward Scissorhands, it is truly timeless and will live on for a long, long time due to its fairy tale and thematic elements that really are universal and its ability to be both unique, yet incredibly stirring, tragic, and moving. This one is Tim Burton at his very finest.… Expand

When I think of modern Burton I tend to think of very drab, heavily CG’d, washed out looking films that tend to oversell on the “dark and whimsical” style that he was once a pioneer of. It’s such a shame that I dread seeing any new movie of his because I know, deep down, that he still has the potential of creating great, fantastical films. When I think of Tim Burton, I think fondly of the days of Batman ’89, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood and, most personally, Edward Scissorhands. It’s a film I grew up watching as a kid on my mom’s laserdisc. I was intrigued by the look of the film, the music, and Edward himself. It had been many years since I have seen this movie to completion, and as an adult I have been able to gain a newfound appreciation for it. The story follows the titular Edward Scissorhands, a lonely, incomplete creation of a professor (played by Vincent Price) who is discovered by local suburban saleswoman Peg Boggs. Feeling sympathy for Edward, she takes him back to her home in a suburban neighborhood filled with incredibly nosey housewives that are smitten by this mysterious person. Edward quickly finds a place for himself, creating hedge art for the people and even as their hair stylist. Edward also falls for Peg’s daughter Kim, who is uncertain of Edward at first but slowly starts to care for him. The whole movie plays out like a gothic fairytale (it helps that the story is being told as a bedtime story), and the movie positively drips with Burton’s signature style. Edward’s intimidating presence heavily contrasts with the uniform, pastel-colored suburban neighborhood. He epitomizes the types of characters Burton tends to gravitate towards: the misunderstood misfit that may look strange, but is a gentle soul. Danny Elfman’s fantastic score helps to sell the film’s gothic fairytale feel, perfectly encapsulating Edward’s mood and state of mind in any given situation. The suburban neighbors are appropriately nosey, immediately infatuated with Edward but just as quickly are able to turn on him the second he makes a mistake. This would be the first of many collaborations between Burton and Johnny Depp, and this was a damn strong start. Depp is great in this film, perfectly capturing the innocence and awkwardness that Edward displays. Winona Ryder is great as Kim, and I even liked Anthony Michael Hall as Kim’s dirt bag boyfriend Jim. Everyone in the film is great, for that matter, even Vincent Price for as little screen-time as he gets portrays the same level of kindness that Edward carries over. Of course, I can’t forget to mention Stan Winston’s fantastic make-up and scissor effects for Depp. Edward’s look has become iconic and still unique among the rest of Burton’s catalogue. There only a few gripes I have with the film, like people for some reason not immediately helping him with basic tasks that he obviously can’t do with scissor hands. It’s usually played up for comedic affect but the entire time I couldn’t help but say, “Help him already!” These gripes are minor in the grand scheme of things, though. As far as discussing Tim Burton’s filmography is concerned, this easily in the top 5 in my opinion. Everything you need to know about him is on display in Edward Scissorhands. After all these years, I still think this movie is wonderful and it absolutely comes recommended not just for fans of Tim Burton, but just for being a good, well-rounded movie.… Expand
