Strange, quirky film about the strange and quirky filmmaker, Ed Wood. Depp is great! Anyone who like off-beat comedy will like this. |

Flashback with Ed Wood |
|
I liked this movie so much more the second time around.
I love movies that fictionalize and recreate the behind the scenes genesis of other movies (i.e. "Gods and Monsters".) It's like "Famous Monsters of Filmland" come to life!
But what I like most about "Ed Wood" is not that man himself, rather his sad friend, Bela Lugosi. That part of the story is very touching, while still adding some humor to the obvious hilarity of Ed Wood and his misguided desire to make movies.

Burton's best and severely underrated. |
|
Easily my favorite Tim Burton movie. Ed Wood is funny and in some ways heart breaking. I've read a biography of Ed Wood and seen several documentaries on his life so I know many liberties were taken, but it doesn't dull the impact of the movie at all. Depp and Landau are wonderful and it features one of Bill Murray's best performances. It always amazes me how few people have seen this movie. It's a shame. |

A brilliant film |
|
This is easily the best way to to depict the one person who was called the absolute worst director in Hollywood. Ed Wood's films were so widely bashed by critics that even the addition of Bela Lugosi who was considered to be the best horror actors of his time, could not rescue Wood's career. This movie shows the lengths that he would go to create something special, and then somehow find a way to make it awful. |
