Summary: Excellent
Review: Ok, I admit that the reason I rented this was to see Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter (the slip n slide boy at the beginning of the movie) but I ended up loving it. A good story, it was very moving.

Summary: A VISUAL COMPLEXITY
Review: TIM BURTON HAS ALWAYS ASTOUNDED ME. HIS VISIONS ON HOW A WORLD CAN APPEAR HAVE ALWAYS GOTTEN TO ME. IN A GREAT MAJORITY OF HIS FILMS, BURTON TENDS TO SET A CLASSIC MOOD. IT IS DARK YET MAGICAL. ALL OF THE FILMS THAT HE HAS PRODUCED HAVE A CERTAIN DARK, WAVVY, AND POETIC JUSTICE TO IT. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF BURTONS MOST OPTIMISTIC MOVIES. IT SHOWS THE LIFE OF A CREATION. THE STRUGGLE TO 'FIT IN'. WHAT TIM BURTON DOES IN THIS FILM IS UNCANNY. HE CREATES AN ARTISTIC SETTING SHOWING THE TWO SIDES OF THE WORLD: A DARK ONE AND A MYSTERIOUS ONE. THE MYSTERIOUS ONE IS FULL OF COMEDY, DRAMA, AND IN THIS FILM A SUBURBAN HIGH COLORED NEIGHBORHOOD. I WOULD SUGGEST THIS FILM FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. THE EFFECT THAT IT LEAVES UNTO THE PERSON MAKES YOU WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN. THE VIEWER WILL FALL WITHIN THE SCREEN AND FEEL THE MOVIE. DO NOT PASS THIS ONE UP. THIS HAS TO AT THE TOP OF BURTON'S LIST.

Summary: Why can't we all be like Edward?
Review: Edward Scissorhands is beautifully portrayed by Johnny Depp in this unforgetable fantasy and I strongly recommend this movie to anyone.If you want some one to tell you the WHOLE STORY go ahead and read all the other reviews that are ten paragraphs long. I admire the character, I admire actor, and I can truthfully say this production is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Summary: My Favorite Movie Of All Time
Review: Edward Scissorhands is a masterpeice! Please bring it out on DVD! This movie is so moving, and so well done. I saw this movie at the Cinema when I was 8 and it is the very first movie that made me cry. Since then, I have been choked up by other films, but with Edward Scissorhands, I was crying before it even finished and I didn't stop crying for at least a good hour (it's true) - and I am not ashamed to admit it because this is a FANTASIC movie. I have seen lots of movies and come out of them saying that they are my fave, but when I think back - this is the film that stands out as my favorite film ever.

Summary: Please, PLEASE bring this out on DVD!
Review: This film is truly great. I can't wait till it is brought out on DVD, with all the extra's like how the make-up was done, the special scissor-effects, interviews with the cast and directors' commentary. I will be the first to buy it, but for sure I am not the only one?

Summary: A memorable fantasy film...
Review: This enchanting grim fairy tale is one hell of an enjoyable movie (if you like this sort of thing.) Sadly this was one of Vincent Price's final films. Johnny Depp as a gothic man made person was a good peformance, and although Winona Ryder looked like a miserable goth in BEETLEJUICE, she looks positively radiant in this Tim Burton classic. Depp is now working with Tim Burton on SLEEPY HOLLOW, which is another hit. Can't wait for the video.

Summary: Harsh reality described as fantasy.
Review: Edward Scissorhands appears (on the surface) to be a fairytale that as many reviewers have written describes what it's like to be an outsider. Well that's only part of the story. The film is a masterful social commentary about racism and how it affects its victims. If you notice all of the characters are white and all of the houses appear colorful. Yet Edward is dressed entirely in black, lives in a dark castle and most poignantly his entire demeanor is in stark contrast to the films other characters. Edward is quiet and shy while all the other characters are brash and often borish. Yet when he does speak his words reflect deep introspection and caring. None of this is to say that this is how blacks are perceived today in a predominately white society but merely to illustrate the contrast between the two apparently different worlds. As the film unfolds however Edward's humanity is revealed. Of course that humanity is already apparent to Dianne Weist and Alan Arkin but they are the only characters who have genuine feeling for Edward. The other characters only view him as a curiosity without seeing the real person inside. Edward yearns to be 'normal' like everyone else. What he doesn't realize though is that he is the greater creature and that others should endeavor to be more like him. He sees the beauty in that 'other' world but no matter how hard he tries he just isn't accepted. In the end he is driven to violence and ultimately forced to retreat into his own world but not because of his own inadequacies but because society just won't accept him for what he is. Tim Burton is to be commended for crafting a film that teaches fundamental lessons about humanity and what american society does to many of its' 'citizens' who fall outside of the mainstream. His true genius is that no reviewer yet has really seen the film for what it really is yet the majority recognize and are moved by its fundamental truths.

Summary: Simply Beautiful
Review: Once in a great while, a movie will come along that truly touches our hearts. That movie is by far, Edward Scissorhands. The messages and themes are so powerful and compelling. The music is so beautiful it cannot be described with the praise it deserves in my own words. This movie strikes a chord deep down that makes you realize how cruel society can be and how much power love has. I cannot watch this film without a big box of tissues becasue it makes me cry every time. I HIGHLY recommend you buy this video, it's well worth your time. One thing i'd like to ask, just in case any one who reads this knows, why is Edward Scissorhands considered a "family" movie? if i had children I most certainly wouldn't let them watch it. Kids are too young to really appreciate the beauty of this movie, and it might frighten them. But for more mature audiences, it truly is a masterpiece.
