This is easily my favorite Tim Burton movie alongside Batman and Edward Scissorhands. This is an inspirational film about someone who pursues their passion no matter how much they suck at doing it. Johnny Depp plays Edward D. Wood Jr, the infamous filmmaker who has been dubbed “The Worst Director of All Time”. He’s made cult classics such as “Glen or Glenda” and “Plan 9 From Outer Space”. Martin Landau plays Bela Lugosi, the fading movie star whom Ed befriends.
The film is moving, well acted, and down right hilarious. As far as biopics go, this is in the top 10 easily.
Great cast. Landau and Depp are spectacular. Depp, in my opinion, should’ve gotten an oscar and may I say Landau deserved his.
The cinematography is amazing. Considering its Tim Burton, thats a understatement.
