Edward Scissorhands is a misunderstood soul - kind at heart and craving love but cursed with having scissors for hands after his inventor failed to give him a proper human pair. After the inventor dies and he finds himself in a tight-knit small town, he is taken in by Avon lady Peg and finds himself attracted to her daughter, Kim. Edward is finally appreciated after locals realise his talent for hedge trimming and hair cutting, but his acceptance short lived after an accident and his new found "friends" turn their back on this misfit.

    A classic film, but may become boring after watching it a few times. I believe Tim Burton could have done better on this film. Edward Scissorhands is about a human science project, a man built with scissors for hands. He never got finished because the creator died before he could complete Edward. Luckily a women finds him and takes Edward into her life. However how are the outside world going to react to this monstrosity?

    I began to watch this ready film when I realised what was going to happen within the first 10 minutes(it is very predictable.) I then decieded that it was a waste of time watching it. I guarentee you've seen a film with the same plot, one good thing is that is a bit different to the average film nowadays. It's not worth my time writing a long review on.
