Summary: Duped Again
Review: Well, I guess the producers only wish to tease the fans of this movie. For the second time, the release is stalled just before the street date. This is a great movie that can only be better on DVD. Why do they insist on doing this?

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. Depp is great as Ed Wood, the B-movie director who exclaims "Perfect! That's a cut!" at the end of every first take. Depp pulls off a dumb perky earnestness that makes the viewer believe that Ed Wood really believes his takes are perfect. He keeps making horrible movies, but somehow he keeps getting chances to make more movies; it's almost a modern day Candide.Martin Landau is utterly convincing as Bela Lugosi, the rest of the cast is perfect, and there's a gigantic rubber octopus as well as Bill Murray as the ruler of the galaxy. A movie as funny and charming as this one should've been released on DVD long ago, but it looks like the studio keeps setting a date and pulling it. I was going to buy this the day it came out, but now I'm going to have to wait and hope again! I'd get the VHS, but the deleted scenes and commentary on the DVD would really be something to see.

Summary: Ed Wood Where Are You
Review: I have seen this movie and absolutely love it. It is an awesome performance by Johnny Depp and Martin Landau. I have been waiting with baited breath for its release and now it is delayed again. This is unfair to toy with customers. There are thousands who want this movie. Please let us know why it was delayed yet again. All I can say further is "Ed Wood Where Are You?"

Summary: A Look Into the Life of the Best Worst Director of All Time
Review: A special collector's edition of Ed Wood? The time could not be better. In fact, this film should have been released in this format years ago. This film is the incredible and entertaining tale of the worst director of all time, which is what makes his work so fantastic. With an all star cast, great writing, and superb directing, this film is sure to both engage and inform film fans. I give this film 4 stars.

Summary: "This is it! THIS is the one I'll be remembered for!"
Review: Edward D. Wood Jr. certainly had the enthusiasm, if not the talent, to become a film director. Many say he was the worst director of all time. Anyone who has actually seen Plan 9 From Outer Space or Glen or Glenda would be hard-pressed to form a counter-argument. However, even if Ed Wood was a cinematic hack, the story of his life as told by Tim Burton is a wonderful movie to behold. Burton has made a film that is essentially a love letter to the mad genuis that was Ed Wood. Johnny Depp is astounding as the misguided filmmaker who is so obsessed with making films that he doesn't realize just how bad they're turning out. Strong supporting turns by Bill Murray, Jeffrey Jones, George "The Animal" Steele, Lisa Marie, and Martin Landau in a brilliant performance as Bela Lugosi also help to make the film shine. All the performers help to faithfully re-create a simpler era of filmmaking when fly-by-night amatuers could more easily co-exist with their more refined brethren. Watching Depp play Ed Wood proves to be an insightful venture as we start to realize that Wood's substandard output wasn't due to any lack of trying. He was a man who was over his head. Wood simply did not possess the necessary gifts one needed to produce magic on screen. In this regard, Wood comes across more as a sympathetic figure than as a laughable one. It's true that Ed Wood was untalented but Burton and Depp make sure to remind us that he was also a human being who aspired to do great things. He never reached this goal but his determined spirit to get there created a unique legacy for him in the annals of cinema.

Summary: SURVEYS SHOW THAT ...
Review: THE PEOPLE THAT DONT LIKE THIS MOVIE, ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT THINK " NAVY SEALS " IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.. IF YOU ARE COMMON, THEN ED WOOD ISNT FOR YOU. ED WOOD IS A MOVIE FOR PEOPLE WHO VIEW MOVIES WITH THEIR MINDS, NOT THEIR EYES ( IF YOU ARE THAT KIND OF PERSON, THEN THE FILMING IN B&W SHOULD OF ADDED TO THE EXPERIENCE ). ED WOOD IS PURE ART AND TIM BURTON IS AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST. HE TOOK HIS PASSION, WENT AGAINST ALL ODDS AND MADE THIS MASTERPIECE OF A MOVIE. THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS MOVIE, I COULDNT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT . I HAVE TO SAY TO MARTIN LANDAU ( IF YOU ARE LISTENING ), THAT YOU DESERVED EVERY INCH OF THAT OSCAR.. YOU WERE BRILLANT AS BELA LAGOUSI. THE FUNNIEST LINE IN THE MOVIE WAS WHEN ED SAYS TO BELA IN THE CAR, " BUT YOURE A BIG STAR " AND BELA ANSWERS BACK, THAT WAS THE OLD DAYS, NOW NO ONE GIVES TWO [cents] FOR BELA. PLEASE, WATCH THIS MOVIE!!

Summary: The movie that changed my mind about Johnny Depp
Review: There was a time when I regarded Johnny Depp as being basically another young pretty-boy actor, and let's face it --- there was a time when he was marketed as being exactly that. When an actor is marketed on the basis of his good looks, rather than his talent, it becomes hard to take him seriously at his craft. Then Johnny Depp appeared in this bizarre hommage to naive optimism abd true committment to one's craft. As Ed Wood, Depp touchingly portrays a man who is amazingly unaware of his own breath-taking incompetence. One is left with the image of a man who had the heart & soul of an artist, albeit an artist with no corresponding talent whatsoever. One would think you should be feeling sorry for Ed Wood, because he really really sucked at what he loved doing most, but if this portrayal is to be believed, he was so committed to his craft that he spent little time feeling sorry for himself. Strangely enough, that strikes me as being truly heroic & admirable. I had never seen Depp play a role such as this before, and it gave me a new respect for the man's talents as an actor. He has played some off-the-wall characters since that time, and one cannot help but see a hint of Ed Wood in Depp's rather unconventional turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean." But unlike the pirate flick, this movie leaves feeling truly touched and moved by the subject matter. Truly this is not a movie to be missed.

Summary: excellent
Review: I really expected this movie to be bad. I was pleasently suprised. It was fabulous! Depp in a dress is hilarious, he had all Ed Wood's mannerisms down ! Get work done by all of the cast. I just wish the film was in color instead of black and white.
