Tim Burton's Best Film

4 stars

23 Dec 2019

Edward Scissorhands is one of Tim Burton's most famous films because of its lovable characters and captivating story. The film came out in 1990 and stars Johnny Depp as the lovable Edward, I think he really brings a lot of emotions to the shy, childlike character and there are times in the film that was quite emotional and touching.

I really loved Edward and the way he moves he is a really unique character who moves and acts quite confused and awkward. I also really liked the development of Edward and Kim’s (Winona Ryder) friendship although I did feel like the romance between them felt forced and wrong, but that is just my take on it.

I think that the most memorable part of the film was the ending which was quite sad but also quite happy depending on the character you think about. I would recommend this film to people that enjoyed films like Beetlejuice or The Nightmare Before Christmas.
