Ratings and reviews

Why would Johnny Depp do this? I absolutely LOVE Johnny Depp, but this made me disappointed in him. This isn't his kind of movie. He isn't that kind of person. He's better than this.

This film about Ed Wood's life (although not entirely accurate)is probably one of Tim Burton's best underrated films. Ed Wood was a low budget film maker/producer, Auteur to the extreme. For those who do not understand Ed Wood or his film-making, probably will never GET-IT. Judging by some of the reviews given. Tim Burton's view/interpretation of Ed Wood is best illustrated in this film. On my opinion, Tim Burton's choice to have Johnny Depp portray Ed Wood was wise. Great film!

A dramatized version that tells a true story. Did Ed Wood really get funding for filming from some of the characters in this film?...oh yeah! Did he really employ Bela, Vampira (😱)and Tor Jonston?...oh yeah? What they only hint at is Ed was one of a kind, loved producing movies no matter what. Ed, I believe truly wanted to help Bela, some say he exploited him. I don't see how Ed was ever in a position to exploit the great actor. Depp as usual takes the character, and makes a five star film. I wonder if Ed Wood could have ever imagined that he would be the subject of a film like this🎥🎬
