Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Benedito Dias Rodrigues What's did a DVD in ours lives,l had watched a little portion of this movie in the past on TV and didn't able to give my vote,so yesterday l watched it in plenty way and found it wonderful,the genius of Tim Burton is really endless,he created a modern fairy tale to all ages,touching using a boy without malice,indeed a pure heart,when he meets a people he wants make part of a mankind,but the time will prove who really are this normal people....Burton reachs the target in this fabulous that seems the Beauty and the Beast........great in a dark atmosphere!!Resume:First watch: 1994 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 8.5
Benedict02 Considering the complex character of Edward Scissorhands being based of a sketch done by Burton, Caroline Thompson does a wonderful job developing the story, with a character that hurts anyone who gets to close.The film features the first collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, Depp even admits to crying the first time he read the script. The character is loved by many, mainly for Depp's tear-jerking performance. Despite his exterior look he is the sweetest being ever "made." I also feel sympathetic for the character knowing you can't help him, you feel as isolated as the Inventor's castle on the mountain. Edward and his stark contrasts to "normal" people is also presented through the houses; Edward dark and isolated from everyone else where all the rest are colourful and interactive with each other.Winona Ryder was Depp's real life girlfriend at the time, she declined a role in "The Godfather Part III" (1990) to take the role of Kim Boggs, the love between Kim and Edward is heart-warming and one of the main themes of the movie.Every time i view the film i always end up crying and it's also due to Danny Elfman's superb soundtrack.Burton does a fantastic job directing his most well known film, he also includes his childhood hero Vincent Price "The Inventor."Burton is an iconic visionary director and marvellous storyteller and it has never been more evident than in his most recognisable picture.
despina_co JUST PERFECT! Johnny Depp is an amazing actor and I believe that this movie is one of his best. A very touching movie. Tim Burton shows for one more time how great producer and writer is!
Rissa From one humble Christian's perspective...Language level: 3 out of 5 At least one utterance of high-level profanity. Most of the movie seems fairly clean, except for a couple of words.Sexual level: 2 out of 5 Some sexual innuendo throughout. One woman removes her clothes seductively and tries to tempt.Violence level: 2 out of 5 Edward is constantly snipping things accidentally. There is a fight that leads to death.Personal Thoughts: Not as scary as one might think. It's more of a creepy comical movie than it is actually scary.
