Ed Wood Reviews and Ratings


  • May 13, 2009
    Brilliant film...always overlooked. Seems like fans of Burton almost never bring this movie up...I think it's one of his best. Depp is hysterical.

    THESE BAPTISTS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. THEY'RE STUPID STUPID STUPID!

    Martin Landau delivers probably the best performance of his c... ...( read more )

    Very moving and sensitive, I like old black and white monster flicks and Mr Wood was great at it..in a sense haha. This is still dark with Burton's style but still very strong and gets the story across beautifully, by the end of the film you will feel very close to all members in... ...( read more )

    A quirky true story about the man who was considered the ?worst Director?, told in a slight tongue and cheek manner, yet creatively put together and made for interesting viewing.

    This is the type of film that will probably appeal more to those who have an interest in all aspec... ...( read more )

    Ed Wood is about the worst director ever (not Uwe Boll) and his odyssey to give us another Citizen Kane. What Ed Wood gave us was Plan 9 From Outer Space, which some call the worst film ever made (I have to argue that I've seen much worse in the last 6 months with bigger budgets ... ...( read more )

    Ed Wood is classic Tim Burton all the way. Edward D. Wood Jr. (Depp) has gone down as one of the worst directors in the history of film. His woeful dialogue, corny special effects and awful continuity have given him somewhat of a cult following. Ed Wood tells the story of his lif... ...( read more )

    Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" is a magnificent semi-biopic picture. A wonderful tribute to the power of passion and determination with a high dose of humour and wonderfully overacted performance from Johnny Depp that gives a perfect tone to the film.

    Edward D. Wood Jr. started making... ...( read more )

    ''Why if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery.''
    ''You forgot the oc...

    '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. ... ...( read more )

  • June 13, 2009
    Ah,Ed Wood. What can you say about him. Widely regarded as the "worst director of all time". His movies are far too entertaining to be called the worst. He is portrayed in the movie as a cross dressing young man who will do anything to make a movie. He has all the heart but no ta... ...( read more )

    It's amazing how well everyone did in this, especially if you have seen Plan 9 from Outer Space. Although it's not so amazing if you know how much Tim Burton liked Edward D. Wood Jr.
  • May 24, 2009
    Exceptional film from Depp-Burton. Flawless acting from the actors especially Martin Landau who was hilarious making this a quality Biographic-Drama-Comedy.

    Who knew we had such freaks in this country.

    In and out of print, one of, if not THE best Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaborations. Damn funny, and TRUE!
  • April 27, 2009

But I found this movie to be a laugh more then anything.Johnny Depp was funny in this.I did'nt know that Ed Wood was a cross-dressing Hack.Not a bad movie to watch abit long though.And the whole thing is in black and white,I guess to give you t... ...( read more )

    Prett good movie and funny and entertaining. The life of Edward D. Wood,Jr, hailed as the worst director (of 'Plan 9 From Outer Space', 'Glen or Glenda?' and 'Bride of the Monster') of all time.

    You are interested in the unknown. The mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why... ...( read more )

  • April 14, 2009
    Drama's usually put me to sleep. So I'm not actually sure why I liked this movie. Afterwards though I was extremely interested in Ed Wood, but alas, didn't watch any of his movies until years later. Although they suck, I have quite a bit of respect for him, mainly due to this mov... ...( read more )

    I would say one of the best performances by Johnny Depp. His acting was so good that he even made Ed Wood seem an interesting director
  • April 7, 2009
    This was just great. Martin Landau did a superb job of portraying Bela Lugosi and succesfully made me love him. Johnny Depp, as usual, did a magnificent job telling the story, and his personality was just sunny! Lovely.
