This Burton tale is actally moving in some parts and very clever and original. This makes the movie more exciting than his other movies, most of which were flops

A classic Burton/Depp Colaboration. It's a dark Fairy Tale that answers the question, where does snow come from?

A classic Frankenstein tale with a new twist makes this the perfect film for both Depp and Burton. While rather flat in the details, the out site appears magical yet real. Depp's performance should not go unnoticed.

But how does he... um... you know?

This is a great movie. The best scene is when Depp tells Ryder that he was going to commit a crime simply because she asked him to. I thought this was a very creative movie, and putting Vincent Price in it was a nice little touch. Depp, Ryder, and Burton should do more movies together. They're an awesome trio.

Stunning Tim Burton Masterpiece.

This film just leaves me breathless every time I watch it. It's visually stunning, Tim Burton merges beauty and hideousness to create one of the most incredible films visually. The Suburbia is neat and tidy looking, but is actually quite ugly when you look at it, whereas Edward and the castle on the hill at first glance looks dark and horrific, but Burton has captured so much beauty in something you would not expect to find it.

Besides being beautiful to look at, the story is so heartbreaking and wonderful; it's telling the popular story of an outcast in a truly unique way. Edward, looking something out of a horror film is actually the most gentle and sweet creature, whereas the majority of the 'normal' suburbanites are the monsters.

Johnny Depp is on top form as Edward and conveys ...

So Much Better Then I Remembered!

We rented this movie recently because I could barley rember watching it as a kid. Wow was I surprised with how good this was. It was visually stunning, the acting was great and the story was so much better then I remembered. If you haven;t seen this movie in a long time, or haven't seen it at all, I can't recommend more highly that you rent this movie and sit back and enjoy how wonderful it is.
