"Johnny Depp in the role that really made me appreciate his acting talent. Depp put more depth and character into Edward Scissorhands with limited dialogue in the first 30 minutes than most actors with speaking roles do in an entire movie! Dianne Weist, the perpetual mom is great as well. There is just something about a Tim Burton movie. He brings a dimension to his movies that is dark yet entertaining. Forebodding yet inviting. Even when you don't want to watch a Tim Burton movie, it's almost like you're compelled to "

"I fricken loved this movie. This week I got my full share of shamelessly heartfelt, hysterical belly laughs, since I saw Step Brothers earlier in the week and then this. But to be honest, I haven't had this much fun watching a movie since Zombie Strippers. The movie starts in the middle of the action with little to no explanation as to what's going on--I suppose the first two Evil Dead films sort of serve as the exposition, or maybe this movie really needs no introduction. The basic gist is that Bruce Cambell gets sent back in time by malevolent forces and is deemed as a hero of prophecy after defeating several undead foes with a chainsaw and then a miraculously appearing shotgun. Never have the people of the middle ages seen such heroics--or such raw, quotable attitude--in one man, heightened by his "boom-stick" and perpetually bloody chainsaw. He is soon commisioned to retrieve the Necronomicon, the book of the dead, so that he may save the kingdom from the evil forces. But ... "

"By this time, I was a Tim Burton fan for life. He'd already romanced me with Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice and Batman. He could do no wrong in my book. And here, he didn't disappoint. Not enough superlatives in the English language to describe my adoration of Tim Burton at this point. Thanks, Tim! "

"This is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. No matter the deep meaning or not, it is just apparent that beauty in the shots hold a special significance. The emotions between Ryder and Depp are incredible, and the emotion reminds me of every time I felt distraught about the world that I live in. "

"Kudos to Alan Arkin - complete surprise in this category, but an often underappreciated actor (my favorite Alan Arkin roles: Grosse Pointe Blank, Wait Until Dark, Catch 22, Edward Scizzorhands, Glenngerry Glen Ross, Little Miss Sunshine)Kudos to Ennio Morricone, one of my favorite film composers, and a tribute long overdue (my favorite Morricone scores: Once Upon a Time in America, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down, Once Upon a Time in the West, Untouchables)Kudos to Martin Scorcese, long overdue for a TON of work equally worth "
