Summary: Burton's Best
Review: In a large, gothic-looking hilltop castle overlooking a pastel colored suburb, Avon Lady Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest) goes calling in her neiborhood, and finds Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp) living all alone. The unfinished creation of an inventor (Vincent Price), Edward has everything a human should have, except, instead of hands, he has a pair of lethal shears. Feeling sorry for Edward, Peg demands that he comes with her to her suburban home to live with her family. I must say, this is one of the best films I have seen. Alongside a great story, Edward Scissorhands also has a deeper theme contained in it: the alienation of being different. Combined with a brilliant soundtrack,(Composed by Danny Elfman) that is both genius and touching, I would reccomed this movie to anybody. I wish there was a 6 star standard, because this movies deserves it.

Summary: The music sets the mood
Review: If anyone out there can find a movie that has a more atmospheric theme than "Edward Scissorhands", then you've done a pretty good job. This movie is great overall, but the music really is quite exeptional. You may think the music doesn't matter all that much, but this fairy tale movie needed a great theme to compliment the great footage and story, and that's just what Danny Elfman composed for it. "Edward Scissorhans" creates a dream world that you'd have to be a real stiff not to be drawn in to. The movie has so many amazing scenes: The opening scene with the gothic castle in which "Edward" lives, the scene where "Edward" is made, the ending - the list goes on. Again, I must comment on the music: The theme is haunting, enchanting - pure genious. This may sound cheesy, but if the adventurous child in you has not completely died, get "Edward Scissorhands" - you'll love it. Trust me.

Summary: Modern Fairytale
Review: Myself, my husband and daughter watched this again last night. And all of us ended up in tears-again. I love Tim Burton's work-but this is a masterpiece. There are so few sweet movies that make you *believe*. For every big mansion I see I want to go into it and look for Edward.

Summary: His Story Will Touch You, Even Though He Can't!
Review: This movie was absolutely incredible. The plot, characters, and setting was all very original, and the flawless acting was very convincing. The story takes place in a suburban neighborhood, where Edward, an incompleted invention with scissorblade fingers, was introduced. He soon becomes the talk of the town, and becomes a very popular character, famous for his outrageous works of art. I suggest everybody watches this movie. It's so worth watching!

Summary: Edward Burton Scissorhands Gothic Pop
Review: I distinctly remember seeing the trailer for this film in the movie theater and a person near me said loudly "won't be seeing that movie." It's not for everyone - But it has since become my favorite fantasy film. Straight from Tim Burton's subconscious vision he paints the tale a sensitive, isolated stranger who is brought into the realm of Day-Glo suburbia by an Avon lady with the best of intentions. The story unfolds as the Main character is perceived as both creative and destructive by the denizens of this pristine, ordered world. The consequences are always grimm - but bittersweet, beautiful, visual storytelling takes this classic theme and elevates it to the highest artform a film can acheive. Edward is Frankenstein's Monster as the artist in society. The outsider who is appreciated for what they produce - but abhorred as a personality by those who worship their art. This should have been out on DVD much sooner! With commentary by Burton and the soundtracks composer Danny Elfman. I can't say how much of a treat this will be for fans of both. So to quote a classic episode of Seinfeld featuring two Italian Barbers " Edwardo Scissorhandsa, He maka me cry..." I am it it is me and so on. Omnia mutantur nihil interit

Summary: Brilliant... Burton's best film.
Review: Tim Burton has made some incredible films. His atmosphere that he creates is surely one of the best qualities of his films. Well, not only does this film have that, it also has great acting, great writing, and the best score ever! It is funny, eerie, and it is one of my top 20 favorites of all time. Just great. This is when Winona Ryder still only made good movies.
