Edward Scissorhands

Pros: Writing, Creativity, Acting, Dialogue, Concept, Visuals.
Cons: None.

I was in Wal-Mart recently and noticed that the had Edward Scissorhands in the giant bin of five dollar movies. There are all sorts of gems to be found in there. I recalled that I already have this movie at home and decided it was time to dust ...

Pros: Amazing visuals, compelling story, perfect casting, different...
Cons: .

A modern fairy tale, Edward Scissorhands (1990) ranks among my favorite ten films of all times. A strange choice? Maybe. A worthy one? Of course. Directed by dark visionary Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Batman, Big Fish), Edward ...

Pros:   Beautifully written and directed, emotionally charged, whimsical
Cons:   No awesome police chases.

  I can't watch this movie without crying at some point. Not many movies I can say that to. I think it is a hard story to sit and watch if you truly take in what it means. A boy unwelcomed in society because he is not like the others. In this movie ...

Pros: A beautiful film exposing the ugliness of society.
Cons: None. You either like it, or you're a tosser.

By combining the sex appeal of Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, it is clear from the start that 'Edward Scissorhands' is a film where the audience are really going to care about the characters. And a cameo from Vincent Price adds yet another incentive to...

Pros: Depp; Winona's mere beauty; Burton's intelligent direction; social satire.
Cons: Ending isn't quite right.

”But why would you drive all the way out to Dayton to see “Edward Scissorhands?” –Dad “Because I’ll probably never be able to see it on the big screen again.” –Tom “Uh, I seriously doubt that.” –Dad ...

Pros: SNIP SNIP!
Cons: do not attempt to shake his hand

Alright before I get into this review I would like to state that it has indeed been a while since I have seen this movie, so I may have a little difficulty going deep into the plot on this one. BUT, this is what I have to do for the sake of the...

Pros: Johnny Depp does masterful work with yet another oddball role.
Cons: It always makes me cry at the end.

Although Edward Scissorhands was made over a decade ago, in 1990, it never fails to bring a tear to my eye when I see it again. It is a perennial favorite that I tune in to whenever it's on cable. It's one of those movies that I can watch over and over ...

Pros: It's directed by Tim Burton, stars Johnny Depp and has Vincent Price. Gush...
Cons: ...um...

This film is magical and funny and sweet and I love it to pieces. Not only does it star Johnny Depp, one of my favorite actors, but it is directed by Tim Burton, one of my favorite directors and it has Vincent Price, who has, ...

Pros: casting, score, direction, story, sets
Cons: some stereotyping, villain, unlikely 'invention'

After the enormous commercial success of Beetlejuice (1988) and Batman (1989), director Tim Burton was given the freedom to make eccentric films of his own choosing. This resulted in minor masterpieces such as The Nightmare Before...

Pros: The score. Burton's direction, Depp and Ryder and Weist
Cons: A Gothic castle in the Suburbs!!

Much of what made Tim Burton a successful filmmaker back in the late eighties and early nineties, was his strong imagination and his memories of growing up. One of the qualities of a good director is that they can take the experiences and memories of...

Pros: It's one of the few movies that I consider perfect.
Cons: None.

I remember when I first saw Edward Scissorhands. It was in my Uncle Allen's basement with my now-nearly-famous cousin Frank. I loved this movie from the very first time I saw it. The first time I saw it I was young enough that I didn't even think ...

Pros: Tone, Directing, Acting, Look, Most Characters
Cons: Contrived Opening, Moments of Soundtrack, Winona Ryder's character

Having seen the magnificent "Beetlejuice" and "Batman Returns" and being disappointed by the less-than-extraordinary "Nightmare Before Christmas," I sat down with mixed emotions to "Edward Scissorhands." In truth, I had some expectations for the...

Pros: Refreshing and different than other romantic films of the day.
Cons: A little morbid at times.

I have spent most of my life taking out this film and watching it when I feel most depressed. I am by no means old, and have adored this movie ever since it first came out, and it came out when I was only 3 years old. This movie revolves around the ...

Pros: Where do I start? Beautifully crafted script, respectable performances, excellent production values...my God, so many things...
Cons: Cons? There are cons?

I've never cried during a movie before.

You heard me. Never. Not even Titanic--in fact, I reportedly said at the end of the movie "Jack dies (oopsie, pardon the spoiler). Boo-F'ing-Hoo. Wonder what's for dinner..."...

Pros: imaginative, quirky, solid acting, big laughs
Cons: unrealistic fable is not for everyone

When I first saw Edward Scissorhands in 1990, I was a nervous 19-year-old trying to impress my lovely new girlfriend. I had been dating a sweet high school senior named Kate for a short time -- maybe a week or two -- and I was pleased to be...
