Summary: not a movie for me
Review: I was compelled to write this review after seeing 5 stars from all the other reviewers and having a really strong feeling against this movie. This movie depicts the life of a person with hands of scissors as the title indicates - I just found it weird and could not accept it at all. I could not really appreciate this movie due to this and was in fact not feeling good at the end of the movie and just walked out before the last couple of scenes

Summary: Short DVD look at Edward Scissorhands
Review: while i have always loved the movie Edward Scissorhands, and have been expecting the DVD for some time now, i was not particularly happy with the DVD [dont get me wrong, i love the movie]!i expected too much from a 10th anniversary i guess. the two commentaries are wonderful, but the featurette is way too short! it seems to be about 5 minutes long, and the concept art includes barely a handful of images. i felt very disappointed on that part because i assumed there would be a lot of images to see, drawings, paintings, etc. but none were on the disc. otherwise the DVD menu is wonderful. the audio clips were way too short, depp, ryder, burton and a couple other people only had about 30 seconds to 1 minute interviews, which were definitely cut way too short and pieced together wrong. overall, disappointing DVD extras compared to Sleepy Hollow. but both are wonderful movies for the avid fan.

Summary: Tim Burton delivers along with Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder.
Review: This movie is excellent in every way. Tim Burton brings to life, a dream he had as a child. His imagination is incredible. The story is grand. Some scenes I was laughing,(like when he made the sheepdog look like a poodle). The acting is great. Johnny Depp rocks as Edward. No wonder Tim Burton chose him for Sleepy Hollow. Winona Ryder was great as the daughter who learns a profound lesson in life. The setting is crazy though. SO WHAT! The houses are all Pink, Yellow, or Blue. Hey, isn't that what society is like today, all those nosy neighbors. What would I know though? I live out in the boonies. But, the main thing I have to say is that Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Winona Ryder deliver a great story.

Summary: One of the greatest fairy tale movies ever
Review: I absolutely love this film. I remember seeing it 5 times, at least, when it came to theaters. One of the most beautiful things I remember was how Burton bookended the film with the story of a Grandmother explaining to her grandaughter why it snows. That was truly one of the most emotion provoking scenes I can remember in any movie. I don't know why this movie hits me so hard, but it will always be one of my favorites. Many of Burton's creations leave me wanting or just leave me period, yet this movie has stayed in my heart since the first day I saw it. Johnny Depp does a remarkable job conveying the duality of his role. Winona Rider is beautiful and unreachable as well; however, in the end perhaps not so unreachable as Edward would have believed. I have no doubt anyone who has had an unrequited love will be in tears many times in this movie. "Ice Dance" is one of the great scenes and the music alone still brings tears to my eyes even today. All in all, this is a movie I have seen so many times I don't even remember. But, each time it elicits the same response. Compassion, brotherhood, sadness, happiness and many other emotions come and go as the movie ebbs and turns. "Edward Scissorhands" reminds me of "Tsuki no Tragedy" or in English "Tragedy of the Moon" which is the ending theme from several "Tenchi Muyo" episodes. It relays the sadness of a love which is never returned and as the credits end RyoOhki ( a cute rabbit/cat mix long story ) ,listening to the song, sheds a tear. That song and this movie have much in common as they both bring forth the same emotions, one using both visuals and a haunting score, the other with some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written. I can imagine Edward sitting in his room and singing that song to himself--especially the last verse: "I love the warm emotion you bring, though there is pain I don't complain. How you can inspire me, whenever we're together. Everytime it's like a new song. You move me so, I think you know I won't even say a word. In your arms or far from sight, I'll be your light ...like the lonely Moon." I like a great deal of movies. I truly love only few. This is one of the few. Every film buff, no, every person who loves a good story must own this film as it is the very definition of "fairy tale".

Summary: A great fairy tale...
Review: One of the most touching fairy tale love story ever. Depp and Wynona's chemistry are perfect. The storyline is a little wierd but to an acceptable level and the elaborate setting gives the movie's dark but wonderful mood. Definitely one of Tim Burton's better films.

Summary: The Most Underrated Film of the Decade
Review: It had to be a difficult pitch, even with the brilliant blockbuster director of "Batman" and "Beetlejuice" attached: a fairy tale-like romantic-dramedy about an unreal man with scissors for hands, who is taken in by an Avon lady with expectedly chaotic results. However Tim Burton convinced the studio moguls to produce this film, it has been for the benefit of movie lovers everywhere. "Edward Scissorhands" is the most hauntingly, strikingly original and beautiful film to come out in decades, and we still have not seen anything quite like it since. I have already exposed as much of the plot as I am going to in this review. A straightforward recantation of the story would not do justice to the complex thematic elements, the incredible imagery, the perfect score, or the once-in-a-lifetime performances given by Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, and the rest of the amazing cast. I say "complex thematic elements" because that is exacly what this film is full of. Many may laugh this off, thinking that the film is nothing more than a strange love story made for a mainstream audience. To truly appreciate this film, however, you have to examine the undercurrents of discrimination, small-town politics, ideals of society and modern culture, and of course exclusionism. The visuals are nothing short of amazing. My favorite is the obvious yet perfect contrast between the neon colors of the neighborhood's cars, houses, and people and the pure black and whites of Edward. You will find many other interesting visual ques obviously, such as the "BANK" and the castle. Consistently side-by-side with these visuals, the music is simply breathtaking. No other film score come close to matching the brilliance of Danny Elfman's music, and no other score complements a film so well. And for the performances, let's just say that I believe this film to be the height of the careers of many of the stars, particularly Johnny Depp, who has never quite achieved this level of quality since. Do not believe that just because this film was made by a major studio with major actors and a major director that it can be passed off as mainstream fluff. "Edward Scissorhands" is one of the most underestimated and understated films of the decade. It is sure to gain the recognition and understanding it deserves in the near future.

Summary: Tim Burton on DVD
Review: Finally! I have waited forever for Edward Scissorhands to be released on DVD. These features will be phenomenal. Any Tim Burton film that comes on DVD with an audio commentary of him and Danny Elfman is great. Im looking forward to a special edition of Nightmare Before Christmas on DVD... I hope I can expect that soon...

Summary: Vincent Price went out with class
Review: This was the last movie to star Vincent Price, and he did a great job playing Edward Sissorhand's creator and father who gives him life bu not hands. The story is touching and heart-warming at the same time. It was a serious effort to portray how it feels to be alone when you look so different. Tim Burton's movie is also graced with anoher good musical score by Danny Elfman.

Summary: A Truly Wonderful Story!
Review: I distinctly remember seeing the trailor for Edward Scissorhands while waiting to see a "Home Alone" movie. I was intrigued greatly. My mum said it was a scary movie so I couldn't watch it. How wrong she was. This is a beautiful yet sad movie. Johnny Depp did an excellent job portraying the shy outcast. It's fulled with humor and serenity too. The Music is simply amazing. If you havn't already purchased the soundtrack, I suggest that you do. It's excellent as well. The commentaries by Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are good and informative. They help give you the mindset etc. Overall, this is an excellent buy!
