I just saw Edward Scissorhands. Literally. It just finished a minute ago.
I really loved it. It went by really quickly and I was completely sucked in. I dreaded the ending the whole time, as it was clearly the Frankenstein story. Johnny Depp performed brilliantly. He was so clunky and out of place.
I also saw Sweeny Todd a few days ago (it prompted me to finally watch Edward Scissorhands which was sitting on our DVD shelf). It was really well done. The grey, drab and pale look really made everything eerie. The decapitation scenes were fake looking, but that worked in the favour of the movie from my view. The music was really good, too. That said, The song Johanna is fucking creepy. I wish a was alive in the day when you could walk into a barber's shop and burst in counterpoint with the barber during your shave.
