Edward Scissorhands
Never watched this until today. I saw parts but never fully engaged myself in the story until now. I guess it is an ok film. Not really my cup of tea if I'm honest, but I enjoyed watching it for the first time because it's such a well known film. Winona Ryder is gorgeous in it, and the direction is beautiful. I loved the cinematography. Some of the shots are just perfect. Burton impressed me here. Depp was annoying. Or his character was. Or both of them were. Not sure, I just didn't like him/it.
Not sure I can just ignore the crap ending, though. So the police would just not followup who killed the young lad? They would just take Winona's word for it that they killed each other? I am pretty sure a huge manhunt would ensue.
This film makes me want to watch Beetlejuice - another Burton, and one that I have seen but never really loved it.
C+
