The reason i gave edward scissorhands 4outof 4 is because i
really thought that this movie was like the greatest
fantasy movie i have watched because to me it seemed like
the sort of movie that i would never watch but after watching
it boy was i wrong. Because i found out it was actually
these great unique sad story that anyone could somehow
connect to.

how sad is this movie! i felt like swearing at the man
kevin. he's so nasty to edward. the film made me cry. I'M
OBSSESED WITH IT!!!!!!
i did'nt understand why the proffesor died. i love the
bit, where it says: "hold me." "i can't." it touched me!
johhny is cute in this film. and in pirates of the
carribean.

well it's vary odd i mean Edward dosent look at all like
Jhonny Depp. it's interesting but when that jerk beats up
Edward i almost cryed, i mean he maid Edward hurt Kim,he
was the one who talked Edward into steeling soo i don't
know madey his brain is upside down i don't know. and it's
sad when the proffer finally gives Edward his hands, and
then he died it's soo sad. and. the worst part is that
Edward tears his hands. but what im trying to say is, THAT
IS THE BEST FLIPPEN MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

I LOVED IT
VIVIEN | Mar. 10, 2004
I think that the movie "Edward Scissorhands" is a movie
that is unique. The colours, lighting, characters and tone
are all different. The part I think as most interesting is
the source of colour, how the colour is as it is (a huge
variety of sharp and bright). No other movies I've seen
have such different senses.
The reason I gave it 3 stars is because some of the events
didn't really make sense if you really concentrate on it,
for instance: Where did Edward get the ice to make ice
sculptures? What did he eat while in the mansion on the
mountain? This is mainly why I decided to give it a rating
of 3 stars.

While I thought of this movie as "showing a good lesson", I
did not find it extremely great. I prefer a movie with some
variety, I believe most others do as well. I like Sci-Fi,
Comedy, Action, in other words, everything. This movie did
teach a good lesson, but I can not say that it was comical.
I liked it, but when I see it, I don't really feel like
watching it, even if there is little else of quality on.
JESSIKA URBINO | Dec. 26, 2003
I THINK HOLLY WOOD SHOULD MAKE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS. THIS
MOVIE IS ONE OF MY FAV. MOVIES, JHONNY DEPP DID BETTER THAN
GREAT IN HIS MOVIE. HE DID WONDERFUL AND I THINK IF THEY
GOT ANY1 ELSE TO DO THE PART IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE
GREAT MOVIE IT IS. THIS IA A MOVIE THAT WILL BE IN MY
FAMILY 4-EVA

I think this movie is a wonderful fairytale of two
completly different people. It's a lovely storyline.

Edward Scissorhands is Tim Burton's best film to date.
This is a film that awakens the child in us all. Films
like this one are the reason we fell in love with them.
It's heartfelt, intelligent, deeply moving, and raises keen
issues about acceptance, bigotry, and naivety. Johnny
Depp's performance is sheer brilliance, he creates a truly
original character. And the screenplay was extremely well-
written. About the only problem I had with the film was
the ill-conceived climax. Why did an action sequence of
such bitterness and cruelty need to be added to such a
charming, fantastical film? I wish it would have ended
differently. It almost seems as though it were plucked out
of a Freddy Krueger movie. And it doesn't gel with what
came before it.

Johnny Depp was brilliant.....
LEIGH | Apr. 27, 2001
I think Edward Sissorhands is a cool movie.
But my question is, why is it that we cant seem to find
many pictures of the movie on the internet???
AVI GREEN | Feb. 8, 2001
Edward Scissorhands is a very pleasant and engaging fantasy
about a humanoid who tries to be one of the regular crowd
but finds that there are plenty of problems along the way.
The movie has quite a bizarre set design, such as the oddly
zigzaggeddy suburban streets, and also the inventor's
mansion. It made for a pretty engaging 95 minutes. (By the
way, try not to change the review date when you repost it
in the recent reviews section, it makes it hard to figure
out the correct date that the movie was first released on.)
And Johnny Depp has a field day as Edward the humanoid.

I loved the movie, it's was so funny. I really liked the
sence
hwre water bed,blew. That was a roit. The movie was a real
thrill n thou i've now seen it almost 5 times, i still
love. Johnny
Depp is so so cute. I can never get enough of him. Thank
you Tim Burton
M. S. RONZANI | Dec. 18, 1999
Edward Scissorhands is without question, a perfect example
of a Burton film. It's haunting, beautiful, and has a
Chirstmas theme to it. This also is shown in Nightmare
Before Christmas and Batman Returns. It's major flaw is a
cruel scene in which a boyfriend takes his rage out on
Edward. This reflects the weaker element in some of his
films which is the solution, or ending to the conflict. But
nothing can hide the genius of the movie's imagination.
TENEL KA | Nov. 5, 1999
I liked the film a lot.I have seen it about four times
seens last thusday and I still cry at the end of the
film.The thouht of that he NEVER saw her again was very sad.
It`s one of the best films I have ever seen
JO BLO | Aug. 17, 1999
Edward Scissorhands was a very good film and I enjoyed it
alot. Johnny Depp was especially good in his role and
maintained his character very wel
KRISTY FISCHERS | Aug. 9, 1999
I think Edward Scissorhands is a great movie.The scenary
was beautiful and I couldn't even tell Johnny Depp was
Edward.Nick Carter was in this movie too!!
WINONA JUDD | Jun. 4, 1999
This movie was great! Very creative, the cast and the
make-up was excellent. I couldn't even tell that Edward
Scissorhands was Johnny Depp.
APRIL COUGAR | May. 19, 1999
First off, I love Tim Burton's style. And I think that
"Edward Scissorhands" is one of the best movies I've ever
seen. The way each character was portrayed in their
simplicity along with the simple surroundings left your
mind to compute the meaning and emotion rather than
details. The musical score was beautiful and the art/layout
couldn't have been better. I think that a lot of the
qualities seen in "Edward Scissorhands" can also be seen in
"Nightmare Before Christmas". I would recomend them both to
anyone.
