Edward ScissorHands is about a man that has scissors for hands tries to fit into a rich suburban neighborhood. The score in this movie is so beautiful and heartwarming, the way the movie looks is magically and looks like some out of a fair tale.

Burton crafts one of his most emotional works - a tragic story of love and acceptance that is sprawled across his signature visual landscape. The acting and storytelling are top-notch and the visuals are some of Burton's finest.

Is there any movie with Depp that does not attract? Edward is interesting because of his silence and droopy eyes.... Great art.

An inventor (Vincent Price) creates a robot that feels and thinks like a human. Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest) allows Edward to stay in his home and becomes enamored with her daughter Kim (Winona Ryder). A darker version of Pinocchio with lush setting locations and humorous scenes related to suburbia when it comes to rumors. Depp was incredible as the main character. Other topics involved were integrity, family and love. One of the few masterpieces from Tim Burton, Edward Scissorhands is majestic in its own right.

Burton's films make you notice everything about the production-sets, costumes, score, and actors. This fantastical fable is both omnious and heartwarming. Kathy Baker and Diane Wiest are hilarious.

An intriguing, most original work of art. And that's what I mean, Art. The film is not about a man with scissors for hands but rather the story of an uncommonly gentle man, who finds hope and acceptance only by those who are just as alone and gentle as he is. The story is about the destructiveness of creativity, onset by paranoia and worship in the worst and best of ways. And finally, the story concerns itself like a fairy tale with a love story of the most divine presence. A great film and Tim Burton's crowning achievement.

This is a great movie. The best scene is when Depp tells Ryder that he was going to commit a crime simply because she asked him to. I thought this was a very creative movie, and putting Vincent Price in it was a nice little touch. Depp, Ryder, and Burton should do more movies together. They're an awesome trio.
