Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands opens as an eccentric inventor (Vincent Price) lovingly assembles a synthetic youth named Edward (Johnny Depp). Edward has all the essential ingredients for today's standard body, with the exception of a pair of hands. For what is initially thought to be a temporary period, he is fitted with long, scissor-like extremities that, while able to trim a mean hedge, are hardly conducive to day-to-day life. When the kindly inventor dies, however, Edward is left lonely and cursed with some very heavy metal for hands. He is eventually taken in by Peg Boggs (Dianne Weist), an Avon lady who takes pity on him after seeing his bleak existence. Edward, in spite of his inherent ability to slay anyone he comes across, is a gentle soul whose only wish is to be loved. His impromptu family has, at best, a limited understanding of Edward, but he finds himself drawn to Peg's weary but sympathetic daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder), who is dating Jim (Anthony Michael Hall), the neighborhood bully. Meanwhile, Edward finds himself a local celebrity after the town realizes that his talents include creative hedge trimming and an unrivaled ability to cut hair. His so-called friends are proven fair-weather when Edward is accused of a crime, after which his only supporters are Peg and Kim. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Like Beetlejuice, which was only two years before this movie, Edward Scissorhands shows the basic elements Tim Burton uses in his direction: comedy and quirky. Johnny Depp, in one of his first acclaimed roles and also the very first time Burton directed Depp in one of his movies, portrays a mistaken human forever cursed by the fact that his inventor never made him hands. Vincent Price, sadly in one of his last parts in a movie, creates the fable atmosphere right off. Then, things start to roll. The surprise, the comedy, the odd, and the inevitable grab ye' pitchforks and ye' torches, kill the monster scene that leads up to a bittersweet ending. Ryder gives an all right part, but Depp, quiet and submissive, is the one who shines.

I watched Edward Scissorhands for the second time. The first time I watched it was shortly after it was available on VHS, maybe 1991. At the time I thought Johnny Depp an unusual but very talented actor. Publicity about Depp caused me to “write Depp off” as someone I wanted to support by watching his movies. This may (2005) I went too Blockbuster to rent a movie, I picked one based solely on the picture on the case – “Finding Neverland”. I loved it and wondered to myself, who is that actor? When I read Johnny Depp’s name, I said “NO WAY!” I went back and rented “Pirates of the Caribbean” next! I was hooked! I have been on a Johnny Depp feeding frenzy ever since, watching everything I can get my hands on. If I knew Johnny Depp I would apologize to him. Every character is played meticulously and the characters vary widely. Johnny Depp is an actor to be watched and Edward Scissorhands is a must.

In the weiredness of Tim Burton, one of his classics. And Depp adds the gothicness needed as usual.

What a sad and lonely place it is to be different from everyone else. Johnny Depp portrays these emotions and more in this beautiful movie. The music is so intoxicating and dark. I love everything about this movie!!
