Once again Tim Burton blows our minds with Danny Elfmens creepy soundtrack and abstract scenery. This movie was origanl, had a good plot and stuck to the point of the story. The director makes fun of suburban neighborhoods with all the hus... (read full)

3/4  Edward is Endearing
True to Burton form, this is a dark and strange story but still endearing. Depp, as aways, creates a wonderful, lovable character in Edward. Dianne Wiest is so good as the mother who takes Edward in and tries to help him fit in. Ryder i... (read full)

This Burton tale is actally moving in some parts and very clever and original. This makes the movie more exciting than his other movies, most of which were flops

A classic Burton/Depp Colaboration. It's a dark Fairy Tale that answers the question, where does snow come from?

3.5/4  Edward Scissorhands Quick Review
A classic Frankenstein tale with a new twist makes this the perfect film for both Depp and Burton. While rather flat in the details, the out site appears magical yet real. Depp's performance should not go unnoticed.

4/4  Edward Scissorhands Quick Review
A modern-day fairytale with the heart and emotion to match the classics. The casting is perfect, with Johnny Depp portraying Edward with the perfect blend of naivet? and wonder. Despite some heavy themes, this is a great family film.

4/4  Edward Scissorhands Quick Review
One of Johnny Depp's best roles. Everything about this movie was beautiful, and the score was one of Danny Elfman's most memorable.

4/5 Pretty decent Blu Ray for old movie title
  by Casey Simmons (Los Angeles, CA)
I love this film and I thought they did a pretty decent job with this blu ray DVD. I've seen a few films that look their full of pixels. This one does have it moments when the scenes get really dark, but the day scenes are pretty sharp. Once again, I think they did a good job with this film, but I'm a little biased since this movie is one of my all time favorites.

5/5 Classic Burton
  by Jason C. Dean (South East USA)
This movie really is a fascinating classic story. Recently I saw this on Amazon for pretty cheap in Blu Ray and having fond memories we decided to pick it up. I was curious if I would still enjoy this one so many years later or if it would just feel too dated. To my enjoyment that was not the case.

The movie seems to be a blend between several decades. The houses all look straight out of the 1950's or 60's as well as many of the styles yet the cars and some clothing looks more 70's but then there is mention of things like CD players which really make it even harder to figure out the time frame since those are from the mid to late 80's. I believe this was an important aspect of the film as it tries to show a simple life and a throw back to a supposedly simpler time until Edward comes in and turns things upside down.

The town feels so 'plastic' and cookie cut with bright colors that it really does a good job contrasting with Edward's world which is dark, gritty, with lots of grey while his clothing is anything but simple and ordinary.

Blending the two worlds is done really well as Edward tries to adapt. But the seemingly simple community is full of back biters who are all just fair weather friends with the exception of the family that takes Edward in and a few others.

I especially loved a semi minor character in the police officer who seemed to not only understand how fickle the community was but also understood some of the challenges Edward faced and was sympathetic and genuine to him.

Oh and Vincent Price is well... priceless as the creator of Edward even though he does not get much film time, he plays a critical role flawlessly.

Overall after all these years I still love this film, perhaps even more than before since I feel I understand it more. Highly recommend this one to anyone and it looks great on Blu ray.


2/5 This was a good movie at the time.
  by John Tewksbury (Ontario)
I was really impressed with this back in the 80's but now it's really old and really bad. If you loved it at the time, do yourself a favor and hold onto those memories and don't see it again no matter what you do. It's terrible 20 years later.

3/5 Modern Day Fairy Tale
  by Loyd E. Eskildson (Phoenix, AZ.)
Tim Burton's wild imagination is evident, and the setting and make-up bring you in to a Kitschy Avon Lady that rescues a scissorhand kindly Frankenstein from a mansion he shared with an inventor, before finishing him. No hands - just scissors and a kind heart

Overall the movie is slow - you can only cut so many bushes, hairdo's, dogs, etc before a need for more action or an ending comes to mind.

Peg Bogs the Avon lady brings him home to her family - this takes a leap of faith to believe. Of course Edward Scissorhands is misunderstood and gets into sad and illegal situations he is blamed for. He gets in trouble with the law and the neighborhood no longer wants him around.

The cast does well, but the plot sags and the movie time could have been cut in half
