Another Burton-Depp success!!

Ed Wood is a film from a director that was a bit of a hard risk because Tim has done dark film with imagination to it but he goes to a bio-pic and in a huge way. Ed Wood turned out to be a witty, hilarious, dark, dramatic and even romantic masterpiece that is definitely a film to be remembered. I loved this film for those reasons but also because of the way it was filmed. Ed Wood turned out to be a typical Tim Burton film because of the way it was filmed and the very bizarre person that was Ed Wood. Ed Wood's personality with films and with women was very witty and Burton is good at expressing characters in that way. This must have been a hard film to make because in the scenes where Ed Wood is shooting a scene in one of his films because there is a film making a film.


Johnny Depp's performance as Ed Wood was absolutely fantastic! It is definitely one of Johnny's best performances so far. His acting as Ed Wood when he is in women's clothes is just absolutely hilarious that I couldn't believe it. Was very funny and unique seeing Johnny in women's clothes. Johnny Depp should have earned an Oscar nomination for this film as well as a Golden Globe win for portraying Ed Wood. Martin Landau was awesome as Bela Lugosi but I was dead surprised that he beat both Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction and Gary Sinise in Forrest Gump to the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. I personally believe that was luck that he won it.


Ed Wood is an adventure of bad filmmaking as well as clumsiness, drama and romance. I loved this film all the way through but it doesn't quite beat Burton masterpieces Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands or Sleepy Hollow. Ed Wood is still a masterpiece from Tim Burton and is one of the greatest films of 1994 and that was a phenomenal year in cinema. I loved Johnny Depp's performance as Ed Wood but he is better in Sweeney Todd, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands and Finding Neverland. Ed Wood is a very unique masterpiece that I think cannot be beaten or be attempted at better than Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp.
