Wow, for some reason I never was interested in seeing the movie "Edward Scissorhands" growing up and never saw it until the other night. I was watching Seinfeld and the episode was on where Jerry's barber keeps talking about the movie Edward Scissorhands, oddly enough. I had seen that episode many times in the past, but I decided it was high time I check out the movie for myself. After all, Johnny Depp was in it, and I've never seen a Tim Burton movie I didn't like.
Well, I feel stupid to admit that I loved the movie. The movie is a good 17 years old by now so I'm sure my sudden excitement will be met with a bit of "this is sooo yesterday's news" but hey at least I finally saw it.
The movie always seemed strange and "out there" to me, which is why I avoided it for so long. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's been made into a musical/ballet recently as well. It's easily a classic among magical/haunted feeling movies. I'd compare it to Beauty & the Beast somewhat.
The music is some of the best I've heard in this type of movie. It was full of fantasy, mystery, and a good deal of creepyness as well. I'm really surprised that I waited so long to finally see this masterpiece.
So, who has seen this? Did you like it? I can definitely see this movie as the type that is either loved or hated. It's a unique style and feel, but, I think it definitely does a very good job of creating a fantasy world in which the audience is easily sucked in.
So there you have it, my 17 year late review of Edward Scissorhands. If you have not seen this movie yet, go see it immediately. I'm interested to hear what others thought of this.
