    This is obviously a Tim Burton movie and some people don't like his work because they think it is bizzare and just on another level basically but this is a must see for people who love a good old love story or people who just feel like they are different and not ment to belong

    Has to do with Tim Burton's personal teenage years I believe. The matter of accepting people for who they are. Sad film but one of my favorites.

    The only Tim Burton movie I've ever enjoyed all the way through. He manages to maintain the typical Burton candyland nightmare effect without overdoing it this time.

    The best of Burton. So good, in fact, that the Rolling Stones named a song after it ("Best of Burton" from the SOME GIRLS album).

    This is a movie for everyone and anyone. I personally love Johnny Depp but in this movie I didn't care that it was Johnny Depp until it was over. Johnny's emotions and expressions just drag you into the plot you don't see Johnny you see Edward and his Scissorhands. You see a confused man and forget that this is a movie. Normally you see actors and actresses as wow look how good he looks in this movie but I didn't see Johnny Depp looking confused and innocent I saw Edward, and it takes a special kind of actor to do that to any role.

    Tim Burtun is a special kind of director and this movie is a great example because of it's color. Burtun uses Darks and Pales. Edward is the perfect example. His pale skin dark hair and dark castle. But then the street is bright pinks, greens, blues, yellows, purples, and oranges. The people and everything created on the street by edward are all bright and peculiar. Tim Burtun gives everything a certian charm, either flamboyant (kinda like the Joker in his Batman) and the Dark and dead look (like in Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, and A Nightmare Before Christmas).

    Winona Ryder was a really beautiful and great actress in edward scissorhands. She was the type of person that makes not only the character but you also fall in love with her and imagine her as the most beautfiul person around. She even made Depp fall in love with her and they dated for three years after the movie was done shotting.

    Dianne Wiest did a beautiful job as the mother and the Avon Lady. one of my favorite lines from the posters is---
    "Edward was locked in his castle where he couldn't hurt anyone and no one could hurt him.... until the avon lady called." And Peg, the mother, was so sweet and peppy, and just as innocent as Edward, and that shown through brightly with the acting of Dianne Weist who is a brillant actress.

    The whole cast did a brillant job but Johnny depp, Winona Ryder, and Dianne Wiest did the most outstanding jobs and most perfect memorable jobs in the world. I couldn't stop watching this movie a million times over and over and crying everytime I saw it. I CRYED IT WAS SO AMAZING. Please don't see this movie for me, but for the people who spent months making this masterpiece, and for Johnny Depp who made his reputation with Burtun with this movie.

    "You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it."

    I was blown away by this beautiful quirky story about the man with the big scary scissorhands who wants nothing but to fit in, to have friends and loved ones. Depp is giving what I think is his best performance to date, and the combination Tim Burton, Jhonny Depp och that guy who does the music will never ever get old. Together they create worlds, filled with imaginations, wonders and emotion. I am now looking forward to experience their other work.

    Classic Horror movie star Vincent Price (House on Haunted Hill) appeared in his last big-screen role as Edward's creator. This movie is visonary director Tim Burton's masterpiece, a great gothic fairy tale of a movie. One of Johnny Dept's best roles.

    This is another Tim Burton masterpiece. It is extremely sad, and dark, but it still manages to be sweet.

    I haven't seen this movie completely, no hardly.
    I saw first two minutes. I found it a bit strange. Everyone says that it is a good movie. I opted for a poll and is surprised to see the result.
