May 9, 2009Very moving and sensitive, I like old black and white monster flicks and Mr Wood was great at it..in a sense haha.

November 3, 2007I loved this movie and I loved Johnny Depp in it as Edward D Wood JR. I love Johnny Depp sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and he totally owned the role of Ed Wood and Martin Landau was also good as Bela Lugosi.

February 28, 2007"Pull the strings! Pull the strings!" Martin Landau owned this movie. Johnny Depp's great in it, but is overshadowed by Martin Landau. It's a very underrated movie. Tim Burton's a genius with it.
