Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Lack of good storyline.

Fantastic!

Better Late Then Never

This film shows what the world can do to a truly beautiful heart.

"Edward Scissorhands" tells the story of a young man, created by a scientist, whose creator died before he could give him real hands. Now he lives on a dark castle with scissors as hands, until a friendly lady from the neighboring town invites him to live with her family. Newly invited into the conservative community, problems begin to arise.You can clearly see that this film is supposed to serve as a parabola rather than a realistic plot. It succeedsin creating great emotions towards the main character and his fateful love for the daughter of the family. Personally, I didn't like the set design all too much, but that's just a question of preferences and you can clearly see the typical Tim Burton style shimmering through. The story is not really creative or innovative but it is told nicely and the acting is great.All in all this is not a must-see but it can serve as an example what exclusion can cause in people and how we are all responsible for creating a society that is worth living in.

The tittle of the film is "Edward Scissorshands". The genre is drama and fantasy. It is about an android-man with steel scissors insyead of heands. Mrs. Boggs takes him to her homeand they slowly get used to living in a small town. It isn't basen on a book. The film is set on Earth. The film is set in modern time. Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall and others stars in the film. Johnny Depp play the main role. Edward is my favourite character in the film. Everyone should watch this movie.

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.
