Leanne gave it a10:
I thought this movie was fab, it was touching and Edward was sweet. The only bad bit was because Edward and Kim never stayed together, it would have made it a better movie. I was crying at the end.
R D. gave it a10:
A masterpiece. I was crying badly. Johnny Depp is great.
Blake J. gave it a9:
The quintessential dark fairy tale. Besides "The Nightmare Before Christmas", and "Beetlejuice", nothing can compare to the dark, mysterious, yet frightfully funny and enjoyable romp of "Edward Scissorhands". Diane Weist and Alan Arkin mold there stock characters to a tee. Winona Ryder plays stupid and blonde like no ones business. And Johnny Depp disappears into a world without fingers, a feat no one will ever be able to rival.

One of the greatest master-pieces that I have ever seen. Great story-line, great plot, great actor/actress and director, it completely takes us into earlier days and reasserts in us the feelings for old stories told by our elders. Truely remarkable in every sense. Once I had watched it at a much younger age but still I could remember it fair enough but when I watched it again today I couldn't stop playing it till the end though I had other films waiting in line. I am writing for the first time for any movie, I couldn't stop myself.
Felix Q. gave it a10:
Out of all Burton's films, I value this one very sentimentally, as I'm sure most of the Burton-heads do. I'm quite the sucker for the sensitive, slightly defenseless male lead. Puppy-dog eyes are my achilles heel, in other words. In the world of the absurd (and more specifically, the gothically absurd) Burton shines, and Depp's ability to just simply be anyone or anything makes this one perfect. No one can touch this one- I think it quite conclusively proves that Burton is the evil-genius we all hope he is.
Armando A. gave it a10:
Simply the most original and one of the best love stories ever told. Love the Depp/Burton combination.
