Summary: A Touching Fable
Review: Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands" can be called a masterpiece, in my opinion. It is touching and emotional in the most pleasant and saddening ways."Edward Scissorhands" is an incredible take on the fairytale of a boy who just wants to fit in, who wants to have a life like others around him, and wants to find his true love to spend his life with. Johnny Depp shines as the fragile, yet uncompleted creation of The Inventor (Vincent Price). Edward can appear frightening to those who don't know him, fashioned like a monster from 1930s Hollywood cinema. But to those who get to know the real Edward, he is just as human as anyone else, gentle and wanting to share in the love of the world. Tim Burton creates "Edward Scissorhands" in a funny, comically creative, yet very moving way. The closing scene between Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder is enough to bring anyone to tears. The story and characters are beyond well developed and this is a movie worth adding to your collection. You'll return to visit this wonderful story of a boy with scissors for hands and a heart made from a cookie again and again.

Summary: This movie is one of my 5 all time favorites!
Review: When I say that this movie is simply an amazing film, I am completely understating its perfection. This movie is one that has and will change lives for the rest of time. Edward played by Johnny Depp, in my opinion his best performance to date, is captivating and enthralling. He plays the character as if he were a real person. Kim Boggs (Winona Ryder) is a character that DEFINES teens who find themselves growing up. Diane Wiest has a Oscar-Worthy performance in this unforgetable masterpiece, by the master of Film-Magic, director Tim Burton, what more can I say, this movie will surely not be going anyplace.

Summary: A true work of art!
Review: This has certainly got to be one of Burton's most imaginative creations. I can't remember a movie be that puzzlling, and yet so interesting and fun. Only Jonny Depp could prouduce such a voice, and performance. And that hair! Well, that was just the final icing on the cake. Let's face it. It's not easy to act the part of a lonly anodroid,and especially one that looked on with curiosity one moment and hated the next. Horror king, Vincint Price does a good job too as Edward's maker. Who is despreat for companionship. I laughed, I cried, then I laughed some more. All in all, this is not that bad of a movie.

Summary: Edward Burton Scissorhands Gothic Pop
Review: I distinctly remember seeing the trailer for this film in the movie theater and a person near me said loudly "won't be seeing that movie." It's not for everyone - But it has since become my favorite fantasy film. Straight from Tim Burton's subconscious vision he paints the tale a sensitive, isolated stranger who is brought into the realm of Day-Glo suburbia by an Avon lady with the best of intentions. The story unfolds as the Main character is perceived as both creative and destructive by the denizens of this pristine, ordered world. The consequences are always grimm - but bittersweet, beautiful, visual storytelling takes this classic theme and elevates it to the highest artform a film can acheive. Edward is Frankenstein's Monster as the artist in society. The outsider who is appreciated for what they produce - but abhorred as a personality by those who worship their art. This should have been out on DVD much sooner! With commentary by Burton and the soundtracks composer Danny Elfman. I can't say how much of a treat this will be for fans of both. So to quote a classic episode of Seinfeld featuring two Italian Barbers " Edwardo Scissorhandsa, He maka me cry..." I am it it is me and so on. Omnia mutantur nihil interit

Summary: Edward Rathands
Review: Edwards Rathands, starring Johnny Rat, could very well be one of the best merged Fantasy/Comedy/Woooo/Drama movie of all time. Johnny Rat is an unbeliveably talented actor and the Direction genius of Rat Burton makes it an easy 5 star flick. Of course 4 star moron Roger Ebert gave it a mere two stars.
Quote from Ebert, "The disappointment is that Burton has not yet found the storytelling and character-building strength to go along with his pictorial flair."
And he should talk, I'm disappointed that Ebert has not yet found out that his reviews on the story suck, his reviews on the character's suck, and he lacks a journalist flair.
I give Ebert's reviews, 0 stars

Summary: Depp ROCKs!
Review: I wish Depp win Oscar tomorrow. Whenever he played a charater, he didn't just play his appearance. He used his heart to understand that character and rendered him vividly on screen. An actor whose talent is so unparellel as him shouldn't get underrated. His effort should be recognized.
And yes, this movie is rather touching, as least it got my tears.

Summary: Fantastic, thinly veiled self-mutilation reference
Review: Plot: an artificial man with scissors for hands lives completely alone until a local woman befriends him and brings him home. Being a self-mutilator and a cutter myself, and having been a chronic self-injurer for the past eight years, you can't fool me. A man with blades for hands with self-inflicted scars that is innocent as a child but is perceived as a freak because of his blades: the metaphor is clear.
This is a truly dark, deep and depressing tale about a man who only wanted to fit in. Johnny Depp himself has been a practitioner of S.I. Coincidence? Yeah, right. I'd bet money that that influenced his decision to play Edward. I cautiously recommend this and I say cautiously because this is not for everyone, and this is a very emotionally draining movie. But it's still amazing.
Warning to other cutters: this is, hands down, the most triggering movie I have ever seen, next to "Girl, Interrupted".

The movie Edward Scissorhands is A Tim Burton's movie that succeeds beautifully at being both a sharp comedy and a sad romance.
The movie is for the whole family and everyone how will watch it will be charmed by sweet sensitive Edward.
I think that the movie is one of the most touching and beutiful movies i have ever seen. Johnny Depp is one of the best and most successful actores today.
The movie is amazing and i recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Eward Scissorhands was the best movie!
Review: Edward Sissorhands is one of the best movies ever created! Edward (Depp) lives in a castle in a suburb and when an Avon lady came up there she ended up taking Edward back down to the suburb with her. The people in the town were crazy about him he was well received by everyone! Edward cut hair and made designs in the trees and so forth. He was loved. But, people began to dislike Edward because of misunderstandings. He cut the boy of the Avon lady and he also cut the hand of Winona Ryder. Misunderstandings lead him back up to his castle when up there Winona's ex-boyfriend follows Edward-Edward ends up killing him causing everyone to fear him. In the end the town leaves him alone and the movie ends with Winona sitting in a chair with a grandchild talking about Edward and you see this was a memory.
Brilliantly made Burton is a genius. And Depp everything he is in turns to Gold. He is an actor that is underrated because he is not in the lime light like many-which I think saves his career! If you have ever liked anything Burton made, Johnny Depp has acted in or just plain great story-lines then this movie is for you!

Summary: The best movie of all time!
Review: One of the movies that serves as a cornerstone for Tim Burton's career, this fairy tale has all of the right elements in all of the right proportions. The suburban wasteland that surrounds Edward is properly grotesque, and the character is wonderfully naïve and sympathetic. Anthony Michael Hall as the good-looking bully is a little over-the-top, but I guess the whole movie is, so what am I complaining about? The bittersweet ending works fairly well, although it seems to emphasize Winona over Depp a little too much for my tastes. The great element throughout the movie is the blasé treatment of Edward, who's clearly not quite human, by the suburban husbands and wives. They regard him as a curiosity, but are limited in their interactions with him by the strict confines of their own social mores and interests. They want to incorporate him into their world while remaining totally ignorant of who he is and what he thinks. The conflicts and misunderstandings that grow from this are what grabbed me, I think.
