This just proves that Johnny Depp and Tim Burton make the most amazing films together. This movie is so sad, wonderful, touching, beautiful... and just perfect. Johnny Depp was so cute and adorable as Edward Scissorhands. This is one of the sweetest and most heartwarming films ever made; I get the greatest feeling every time I watch it. A true masterpiece that will be remembered for years to come. It's no surprise that this is my second favorite movie of all time.

I finally saw it and I have no regrets, it was fully awesome. It wasn't exactly scary, but the setting and music gave it a spooky vibe which I loved.
The story is simple - A visiting investigator, Ichabod Crane [Johnny Depp] comes to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the murder of three people, who have all had their heads chopped off by the Headless Horseman [Christopher Walken]. But soon three turns to four, and before you know it everyone is in danger of being murdered. Ichabod soon discovers that the killings are not just at random, but being controlled by someone on the inside in exchange for the Horseman's head. Along the way of finding the clues of to who is also responsible, Ichabod begins to know a towns girl, Katrina [Christina Ricci] and when she is in danger things start to get a little more personal for Ichabod.
Though it aims to be spooky, it does have its funny scenes which Johnny is perfect for.
This is just more proof that Johnny Depp and Tim Burton make wonderful movies together, and that is why I love both of their movies.

This has to be one of my favourite films ever, no doubt about that. When I first walked into the cinema to see this, I knew I was going to love it.. but I had no idea I would enjoy this film as much as I did. It had that distinctive Tim Burton 'style' to it. Dark, mysterious, eerie, bloody and humorous. You could call this a mixture of genres.. obviously it is a musical, but it's just as much of a horror movie as it is a comedy.
Johnny Depp is Sweeney Todd.. the demon barber of Fleet Street. A dark character that comes across as a revenge-seeking, sinister person. All you need to know about this plot is that Sweeney Todd was once locked away from his wife and daughter, and came back to London to seek revenge. After his first killing Mrs Lovett, played by Helena Bonham Carter, suggests using the flesh in meat pies. From then the story unfolds in itself, creating some unexpected plot turns and an outstanding end to this masterpiece. Tim Burton directs one of the greatest movies ever made, making it really his own. Another reason to see this is if you absolutely love Tim's style of movies, you will love Sweeney Todd.
Johnny Depp showed yet again how he is one of the best actors of his generation, and has proved to me why he is my all-time favourite actor. This was something completely different for him.. singing. I personally thought he was brilliant, the perfect actor with the perfect voice for Sweeney Todd. Seeing Helena Bonham Carter in this movie has made me admire her a lot more as an actress, she made her character certainly a lot more entertaining than I can imagine anyone else doing. She really made another stand-out performance for me. Alan Rickman was everything you would imagine his character to be, hitting some tunes and bringing a sinister feel to his character. Sacha Baron Cohen provided a couple of entertaining scenes, while Timothy Spall was just as you would imagine him to be.
I can't express in words how much I loved this film, but I tried. I would strongly recommend this to anyone, just be prepared that this is a musical. Other than that... enjoy!

Yet again Johnny Depp and Tim Burton created one of the best movies ever made, completely different from the original one. I still really liked the 1970s version, but this was just completely amazing to be, easily more enjoyable than the original. Johnny Depp couldn't have aced the role of Willy Wonka any better, the voice.. the look.. yes he may look a little 'different' than he normally does, but you just have to admire his extraordinary talent for making this film highly enjoyable.

Vincent, an early Tim Burton short film, is absolutely brilliant and astonishing to watch. Being a huge Burton fan, I completely loved the unique Tim Burton style to it, each of his films he really makes his own, and Vincent is something that would be easily recognisable as one of his films.
This short (about 6 mins) film shows a young boy named Vincent Malloy, who dreams of being Vincent Price. It's an obsession really, and for something as simple and unique to be made into a short film as brilliant as Vincent is... well, that kind of talent could only come from the genius Tim Burton.
I really loved the stylised narration from Vincent Price himself, and just from having a quick look at the words you can tell that it fits in brilliantly with the animation. I will say it again - I absolutely adore this short film, and I give two thumbs up to Tim Burton for creating such a masterpiece so early in his filmmaking career. It's hard to compare it to his more recent feature length films, and I myself can't pick favourites from his work. They are all so unique and amazing in their own ways, and Vincent is no different.

I think that when I first saw this, when I was a lot younger, I didn?t really appreciate it as much. But seeing it again gave me a whole different view on this movie and how unique it is.. this is truly one of the best films ever made, an incredible story, brilliant directing and a great cast.

'When it came to making bad movies, Ed Wood was the best.'
Maybe it was just Johnny Depp doing the striptease in woman's clothing.. but I really, really enjoyed watching this film. Johnny Depp working together with Tim Burton again, nothing can go wrong with this dynamic duo. Johnny Depp; the talented, brilliant, amazing and good looking actor. While Tim Burton is creative, wonderful, different, sometimes strange.. but together they make the most amazing movies. Ed Wood is no different to the others.
Ed Wood is eccentric, strange yet interesting. Each of Johnny Depp's characters are different to each other, all with their strengths and weaknesses.. but I found Ed Wood really enjoyable to see on the screen, somehow Tim Burton created him as sometimes loving and caring, and sometimes fun and exciting. This film is all about Ed Wood the director, his movies and his life.
It's hard to imagine any other actor playing Ed Wood as well as Johnny Depp did, he gave him so much more character and definitely made this movie a whole lot more entertaining. Martin Landau deserves to be mentioned for his brilliant performance, he was pretty much perfect for his role, I couldn't ask for anyone better. I normally can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker.. she's not exactly my favourite actress. But in this I survived watching her, probably only because Johnny Depp was on the screen whenever she was. Jeffrey Jones was a nice addition to the cast, another regular to Tim Burton's films and in this he was great as always. Oh, and Bill Murray was also excellent, another actor who made this movie more enjoyable.
I haven't really seen any other film like this before, so it was nice to see something different. It definitely has Tim Burton's style of directing, this is informative, enjoyable and humorous. I'd recommend anyone to see this for themselves.. I think I'm finally getting over my dislike for black and white films.
