The brilliant Mr Burton and Johnny Depp ain't bad either!,,
By
This review is from: Edward Scissorhands (DVD)
Tim Burton is a master at bringing gothic fairy tales to life. Every film he has ever done, be it a full-blown blockbuster like Batman or a Christmas story with a twist like Nightmare Before Christmas, has his own unique dark edge, and when you watch a Burton film you can't fail to recognise it immediately. Edward Scissorhands is no exception to this rule. It is a wonderfully dark gothic tale about a man with scissors for hands. Edward is no ordinary individual; he is a great artist and can shape a wonderful topiary from any garden variety hedge. Despite this, having scissors for hands causes him a few problems. He cannot touch another human being or himself without causing pain; as a result, he is doomed to be an outcast. Edward Scissorhands shows us Burton at his best. It also gives us an early glimpse of the type of movie star Johnny Depp was to become. Hot off Twenty-One Jump Street, Depp was expected to become a movie star, equalling the status of a Brad Pitt or a Tom Cruise. Instead, he chose a harder path, going for roles that were not the leads in the latest summer blockbusters but quirky roles that strayed from the path a bit. Nearly twenty years on, his choices have paid off; he is now a commercial and critical success and a sure thing to get an Oscar before Mr Pitt or Mr Cruise.

A Classic,
By MAXIMUS (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edward Scissorhands [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I just recently purchased this on blu ray, and I was very impressed with the transfer they got on it. Simply outstanding. The colours were so vibrant and lively. You can even see the blemishes in each of the actors faces in this one, the picture was so crisp and clean. Kind of a sad movie, but still really good after 20 years. Thanks
