    Ed Wood is a movie that is creepy, clever, hilarious, touching, and entertaining all at the same time. Brilliant.

    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)llent at all. I think it was a risky role for Depp to take but he is great and he really makes the character his own. Martin Landau is brilliant in portraying Bella Lagosi. I don't realy have any major complaints with this movie. I just wish they would gave us a little more backstory with some of the characters. The only character that I think is perfectly drawn out is the Bella Lagosi character. You'll be able to forgive minor flaws though because this movie is pure entertainment with a ton of laughs throughout. Who knows, you may even be tempted to check out one of Ed Wood's movies.

    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.

    Exceptional film from Depp-Burton. Flawless acting from the actors especially Martin Landau who was hilarious making this a quality Biographic-Drama-Comedy.

    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) you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happened, on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on a secret testimony, of the miserable souls, who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Edward D. Wood, Jr?
    A biopic of the life and work of the legendary 'worst director of all time', Edward D.Wood, Jr., concentrating on the best-known period of his life in the 1950s, when he made 'Glen or Glenda', 'Bride of the Monster' and 'Plan 9 From Outer Space', and focusing on both his transvestism and his touching friendship with the once great but now ageing and unemployed horror star Bela Lugosi. Story of low-budget Hollywood director Edward D. Wood, Jr., whose notoriously bad cult films include Glen or Glenda? (USA/1953) and Plan 9 from Outer Space (USA/1956).

    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 movie.

    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

    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.

    IN MY TOP 10: A must for Tim Burton fans, Johnny Depp fans, Ed Wood fans or anyone who enjoys old B-grade horror films. It may not be a particuarly honest bio-pic but that's hardly the point. It's a loving tribute to the tragically awful (but infectiously optimistic and determine...( read more)d) film maker, and to Bella Lagosi (the original Dracula). It is also a master piece of film making.

    Delightfully entertaining, uniquely inspiring, the best film about the people who didn't make it in Hollywood, perhaps because it seems to suggest the biggest thing separating those from success is not talent but luck.

    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)ts of film making. A slightly different type of project for Tim Burton, but you can certainly see in parts, why he was attracted to this project.
