Summary: Even better than I'd expected
Review: I'd heard that this was a very good movie about a misunderstood social outcast with a beautifully gothic appearance, but it exceeded even my wildest expectation. What caught me by surprise was Edward's complete innocence. He's not brooding and angsty. I like that sort of character, but they're rather over-done. The movie has an almost whimsical nature. Things that would be absurd in other types of films (What is such an out of place castle doing looming over a hilariously cliche suburb? Why aren't people as utterly terrified of him as they would be in real life?) instead help to transport you to this world where such innocence, such a pure desire to simply love and be loved, can be embodied in one beautiful young man. And yet that very innocence is also his weakness, as people with intentions less pure can easily exploit his naivete and caring heart.I think this movie can be best summed up by one of it's taglines: His story will touch you, even though he can't.

Summary: Heart-wrenching & Beautiful
Review: This film truly is Tim Burton's master work. Both Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder's performances are award-worthy. This story is heart-breaking and can easily be seen as a universal metaphor for the judgemental and superficial patterns that human relations often follow. Simply because Edward is different, the town's people take advantage of him, betray him, and finally, condemn him. In the middle of all of this is a romance in the style of Romeo and Juliet - that of Kim and Edward. Edward's pure, innocent, almost naive personality is what has made him one of the best-loved movie characters of all time. This film is one of the saddest I've seen, but also one of the best.

Summary: a classic, no doubt
Review: its visions are spectacular and wild. its characters are wild and spectacular, well you get my drift. Burton creates the world of Edward around him and inside of him. the story never flaws and Depp captures the feelings and emotions like Edward was a new baby or something. I gotta say Anthony Michael Hall is a prick in this one, seriously, trying to hurt old Edward, bastard. one of Depp's best no doubt.

Summary: Definately worth owning
Review: For the outcast in us all, Burton presents a dark and tragic fairytale. I have yet to meet a person who does not identify with Edward's plight. Johnny Depp did a truly wonderful job with his portrayal of the childlike and innocent Edward. I reccomend this movie to anyone who listens- buy it!!

Summary: A Modern Day Fairy Tale
Review: The story begins with an old lady,telling a story to her granddaughter on why it snowed.. Johnny Depp's character, Edward, is an artificial man made by an inventor. The inventor passes away suddenly one day, before Edward could be finished and so Edward is remained with hands of sharp shears.
One day, an Avon lady, Peg, finds him in the castle where he was all alone, and so takes him back to her home in Suburbia. There, he is welcomed by the townpeople as he did their gardening (made wonderful figures from the trees) cut their dogs' hair and the people's hair.
However, Peg's daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder), was the only one who found him odd and scary at first. Edward,however, fell in love with her the first moment he saw her picture. When Edward appeared on a television show and got shocked when he accidently cut the microphone wires, it was the first time she appeared concerned for him. Her boyfriend, Jim, seemed like an obnoxious jerk when he laughed at the situation. After Edward helped her, Jim, and other friends break into Jim's place and was the only one who got caught and took all the blame, she started to have feelings for him. He would have done anything for her, for when she asked him if he knew it was Jim's place, and he said yes, and then asked why he did it then..he replied, because she asked him to...
With the break in event, saving Kevin (Kim's bro), from almost being hit by a van but accidently cutting him with his scissorhands in the process, made the townpeople feel threatened by him..
Kim tells him to run away when police sirens were heard, and so he runs back to the castle. Kim follows him and also her now jealous ex-boyfriend, Jim, who thinks he lost her to a non human thing..(since he saw her before dancing in the snow that Edward made when making an angel out of a huge block of ice)..
A fight ensues and Jim is killed and Kim tells Edward that she loves him..and it's the last time they see each other...
The old lady, from the beginning is actually Kim, and so says that before Edward came, it never snowed, and after, it did... This story is a fairy tale but when u watch it, seems so believable. Johnny Depp plays Edward so beautifully...the expressions he make and how he sees life...so innocently makes you love him..The scenes with Kim..the part when she asks him to hold her but he couldn't and when he says goodbye to her and she kisses him and says she loves him as it's the last time they see each other, will make you cry..what a bittersweet ending!
Edward and Kim made a truly beautiful yet odd couple. They were like soulmates who couldn't be together..(although Johnny and Winona ended up being engaged for yrs)...between a real woman and a real yet unreal man...

Summary: Spectacular.......a beautiful film
Review: To tell the truth, I've seen a lot of Tim Burton's films but before this one I wasn't a fan. I liked all of his movies, but I didn't realize that they were his of course. Then I rented Edward Scissorhands. I didn't know what the film was about but a friend of mine loved it so I went by Blockbusters and picked it up. I was shocked at what unfolded. Johnny Depp without eyeliner or a tan. But besides that, I was amazed at the beautiful film. It tells the story of Edward,, a boy living alone in a castle of sorts, unfinished after his creator died. Until an Avon saleswoman sees the house and ends up taking Edward home. It's hard enough for Edward to adapt to the real world without living in a neighborhood of nosy women and Peg {the Avon woman]'s beautiful daughter Kim. Of course, Edward goes from celebrity to being feared in about three seconds and back and forth. But there are so manys scenes that shouldn't be beautiful that are. Like the famous dancing in the snow scene.........but I won't give them away. Many times I read these reviews and find out things before hand I wish I hadn't. Watch this movie for a touching story with a little comedy thrown in.

Summary: Spectacular, breathtaking
Review: This movie is a true masterpiece. It touches you in a way no other movie can. It makes you cry tears of joy and happiness. It makes you laugh and it makes you angry with the ones who try to hurt Edward (johnny depp). A gentle soul with a rough outer appearance. Not a great movie for little ones who still think there are monsters in the closet. But it will teach you to look on the inside before you judge. Truly one of the best movies of all time.
