Origin of Scissorhands. 

The movie snows before it shows, with flakes falling across the 20th Century Fox logo. We open with a grandmother telling a little girl to "Snuggle in, sweetie. It's cold out there." The girl then asks, "Where does snow come from?" Now, I had always thought it... Read full review »

Pros Fairy tale simplicity, funny slapstick
Cons Really makes no sense among other things
Recommended it? Yes

Edward Scissorhands is a fantastic but slightly flawed concept. It might be the essential Tim Burton film since in my view it showcases everything good and bad about the director's work. The film is basically a Pinocchio story, granted, Edward might not want to be real, he might not know he is... Read full review »

Cons A little too short, third act is underdeveloped.

Director Tim Burton tells a very unique way to present a story. And this is put to a great extent in his 1990 film “Edward Scissorhands”. It’s basically a modern-day fairy tale that Burton created with the help of Johnny Depp playing the title character. This film brings together... Read full review »

  I can't watch this movie without crying at some point. Not many movies I can say that to. I think it is a hard story to sit and watch if you truly take in what it means. A boy unwelcomed in society because he is not like the others. In this movie it is his scissor hands and reclusive personality... Read full review »

Pros Johnny Depp does masterful work with yet another oddball role.
Cons It always makes me cry at the end.
Recommended it? Yes

Although Edward Scissorhands was made over a decade ago, in 1990, it never fails to bring a tear to my eye when I see it again. It is a perennial favorite that I tune in to whenever it's on cable. It's one of those movies that I can watch over and over without ever really getting tired of it.
