Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward.... But the inventor never got to finish Edward. He was left with scissors alone for hands. He was unfinished and incomplete. The people he meets in Suburbia, while magnets at first to his irresitible and undeniable charms, are in the end terrified, though their fears are mostly misplaced, of what those scissors can do....

Johnny Depp...hee hee. *girlish grin* But being serious with you, he captures Edwards spirit brilliantly. A child on the inside, a monster-like anathema on the outside, Depp captures the paradox and conflicting views of this extraordinary character without flaw.

how this movie wanted to make me slap the characters upside the head rather frequently. Some people in real-life do that to me, too...

watch the whole damn thing again!

inspired, touched, moved to a new level of viweing the world around me. I cried. I laughed. It was an *amazing* movie. Unlike anything I've ever seen before.

was well picked and perfectly matched for their roles. Not a one of them acted poorly or out of character. They were all believable and very suited to the part they played.

I guarantee you that it is unlike any other movie you've ever watched.

although it's being unlike any other movie you've ever watched can be a good thing, the viewer of this movie may also find it a flaw. I didn't, but I'm just weird.
