Summary: one of the best movies - EVER.
Review: this movie is truely amazing and definitely one of my favorites... tim burton's directing is so utterly wonderful and danny elfman's music fits with every aspect of the film PERFECTLY... I can't even think of one weak actor in the film... they were all just perfect for their roles... Johnny Depp is so terrific in this movie... He becomes Edward - 100%! His facial expressions really allow the viewer to feel all of the confusion and hurt that Edward goes through... It's remarkable... If you haven't yet seen this - you've been deprived...
The DVD is at a lack for "extra features" but the concept art is pretty interesting and there are some interviews...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: oh my gosh....i am speechless
Review: Tim Burton's genius shines so much in this movie. Winona ryder and Dianne West were good, but Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp was so incredibly great. Tim Burton is the most talented director ever, and Johnny Depp is beyond talented...he's.....ingenius!
This movie starts out dark, then its gets light and happy, then turns dark again. The end is a little sad, but there is sort of a bright light shining through, a light telling you that it's going to be okay.
I recomend this to everyone, espeacially girls my age that like Johnny Depp only because he is good-looking. Those girls will see that that he has A LOT more than just good looks.
If you like Tim Burton, see Nightmare before Christmas. It's great and Danny Elfman is so talented and cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: My little brother won't watch this movie with me anymore, because he says it's "spooky and depressing." Very true, I suppose. However, it's also magical, funny, enchanting, and heart-achingly beautiful -- it succeeds in touching your emotions where many more realistic movies fail.

While the film is visually stunning and worth seeing just for the scenery, it's really Johnny Depp's performance and Danny Elfman's amazing score that grab you and don't let go. Add a lovely young Winona Ryder and a host of hilarious supporting characters, and you have a modern fairy tale classic (akin to The Princess Bride) that I find myself watching over and over again.

I know that in time, my brother will mature and grow to appreciate the magic of Edward just as I do, and will ask me to watch it again. I can't wait.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a great film watching growing up
Review: This is a great film. When this film came out, I had to get it. The special features aren't that great. Yeah it has a featturate but I was expecting more. Like commentary by Johnny deep and Tim Burton. It does have commentary by Tim Burton, but still. The featurrates great too but, its to short. if it was 2 disc and more special features,mabe,no it would have had 5 stars. This DVDs 10 bucks so,...get it..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must See!!!!
Review: Edward Scissorhands is one of the best movies ever. If you watch it for anything atleast do it because Johnny Depp is such a hottie!!!! Besides that, he plays an amazing role and is backed by a great cast and soundtrack.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Edward Scissorhands is great!
Review: This movie is original. Johnny Depp's character is so unique, yet lovable. Tim Burton is a genius, he's created yet another timeless film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I love Edward Scissorhands because, first of all it is Johnny Depp! And second of all this movie is funny, in a way it's scary, it's also about how Edward falls in love with Kim(sorry Johnny!)witch makes it kind of romantic, and I don't know what everyone else thinks about this movie , but I think that it's pretty sad!!!! I also think that Tim Burtin did a great job on this movie. Johnny Depp can play so many differnt characters, from a man with scissors for hands, to playing a pirot(sorry if I spelt it wrong!) Over all I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastic
Review: Great story. It is very different from Hollywood movies. Mr. Handsome (Johnny Depp)as a man left with scissorhands? Sounds scary but it isn't. You feel for Edward because who can't relate to feeling like you don't fit in. Sets were excellent. Story and cast is superb. Great for all ages to see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Visually & Plot-Wise
Review: This movie is spectacular. I can't imagine a more beautifully crafted movie. The pastel stereotype Suburbia is so interesting, the characters are complete stereotypes and yet they are all unique. All of them immediately accept Edward and don't seem phased by his deformity. Kim is the only one who really reacts to him. I expected the classic beauty and the beast story but it seemed completely opposite. The visual aspects and the music blend together perfectly, I think this is Tim Burton's best film (and also probably my favorite Depp movie as well, though I've seen Benny & Joon a thousand times and love it to death so it's hard to tell). I really don't think any movie can match the music of the Nightmare Before Christmas on Danny Elfman's part, but this comes close, especially for a less muscial movie.

Overall, this movie is magical. It's something you can watch again and again. The characters are interesting and Depp's performance is beautiful. One thing to keep in mind if you haven't seen it is tha this is not a dark movie. From the box and what I'd heard I expected something darker, but while it is sad I wouldn't classify it as a dark movie.
