Review: This movie was so cool! After seeing this movie I became the biggest Ed Wood fan. I wish they would make a sequal of him in the 60s and 70s.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Tim Burton is a wonder. Johnny Depp is terrific and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi is one of the best screen performances of all time. This creepy, haunting, innerly disturbing film is so excellently directed and written and brilliantly acted that its hard to keep it off your top ten favorite movies of all time list. I just wanted to tell you all its a wonderful film with so many levels of hilarity and inspiration. I have done so and now I will leave.

Summary: Superb
Review: This outstanding period piece is beautifully filmed (the black-and-white is a great touch), skillfully directed, and well acted; this may just be director Tim Burton's masterpiece. Depp is excellent as Ed Wood, and Bill Murray is hilarious as the campy Bunny Breckenridge. However, Martin Landau steals the show - his portrayal of Bela Lugosi is simply brilliant, and his Oscar was well-deserved. This is probably the best film about Hollywood since "Sunset Boulevard", combining the same elements of humor, pathos, and outright weirdness to create a memorable viewing experience. Get this one - it's a keeper.

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: Ed Wood is my personal favorite movie. The characters are well acted and the make-up is wonderful. This is a facinating and inspiring film. It shows that you don't have to be good at what you do just as long as you love it. Martin Landau is believable and hilarious as the aging Bela Lugosi. Johnny Depp is in his best role ever as the failing director. This is truly why I go to the movies! And for the record, I liked Ed's movies.

Summary: The granddaddy of all biography films!
Review: An entertaining, hilarious and moving biography of the worst director of all time Edward D. Wood Jr., the film explores the badness (and goodness) of three of his films, GLEN OR GLENDA, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. Beautifully filmed in B&W, incredibly well acted (especially by Johnny Depp and even better Martin Landou). Sadly, the film dose not talk about any of his other films and his taste for alchahol (which eventually gave him a heart attack in 1978) but stay with it. Martin Landou won an Oscar for his amazing performance as Bela Lugosi and so did Rick Baker for his make-up.

Summary: Don't Miss It
Review: Don't miss this film. Superbly acted and wonderfully directed. Bill Murray's performance, though often over looked, assists in making this film great. Sarah Jessica Parker also deserves special mention.

Summary: An oddly moving film about a master of the awful.
Review: Tim Burton avoids the very real temptation of spending two hours taking the mickey out of the most talentless director ever to disgrace the silver screen. Instead he paints a sympathetic and often moving film obout an obessively optimistic man whose outlook on life was totally scewed. A memerable scene that illustrates this is near the begining when Wood, cast to perfection in Depp, tells a projectionist, viewing off cuts, how he would use them to make a whole movie. Depp is great, but he is totally up staged by Martin Landau who runs away with the film as the washed up horror star Bela Lugosi. The period is captured well by the black and white photography and exposes the sleazy side of '50's Hollywood. The main let down is that there is no thrust to the story and that it only reviews a breif period in Wood's life. However this is a small price to pay for the way the film captures Wood's personality, rather than falling into the trap of simply telling events like many biopics such as "Hoffa" have done before.
