Tim Burton's finest hour
This tenth anniversary edition is sure to be a superb addition to any DVD collection. All of Tim Burton's films are worth looking at, but the fairytale qualities and heartfelt emotion in this film make it close to his best, second only to "Ed Wood". A simple fable of a boy, Edward (Johnny Depp) whose inventor (Vincent Price, in a beautiful finale to his career) dies before completing him, leaving Edward with scissors for hands. Edward lives alone in the inventor's gothic mansion until Avon comes calling, and he is taken in my Dianne Weist's hilarious Avon lady. In surburbia, Edward finds love (Winona Ryder as the ultimate fairytale princess) as well as prejudice - Tim Burton is always making films about outsiders who just don't fit into society. The performances are great - Depp is a revalation - the production design and cinematography are breathtaking, and Danny Elfman's best ever score envelopes and enriches the entire film. Outstanding!

A Touching Fable
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.

This movie is one of my 5 all time favorites!
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.
