A decent start for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp has portrayed many recognizable characters (that make him unrecognizable) including Willy Wonka, Sweeney Todd, Mad Hatter, Tonto and of course Captain Jack Sparrow from 'Pirates of the Caribbean', here he plays a man with razor sharp hands known as Edward Scissorhands

'Edward Scissorhands' is a decent start for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Tim Burton's directing and Johnny Depp's acting connect to make an interesting romantic fantasy, it is better than 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Alice In Wonderland' and is probably Johnny Depp's most famous role

An interesting plot about Edward being created by a mad inventor, who was almost finished with his task when he died and left Edward with temporary scissors in place of real hands, Edward's hands never became real and remained scissors for years

Some very good performances by supporting cast Winona Ryder, Dianne West, Anthony Michael Hall and Kathy Baker but the one who steals the show is the lead actor Johnny Depp; his performance makes up for his over the top performance as Tonto in 'The Lone Ranger'

Not recommended for younger audiences but 'Edward Scissorhands' will still be enjoyed by the target audience and Johnny Depp's performance will also be enjoyed by everyone who loves Tim Burton's movies

9/10
