Movie Review by AJ 
April 14th, 2006
|  |
After years, I finally got to rewatch this, and I'm very glad that I did. After I saw it initially and was disappointed, I realized over time that I couldn't remember one thing I didn't like about it...and this second viewing just confirmed that! It's an excellent film with gorgeous cinematography and direction from Burton, with a wonderful score by Howard Shore (this is the only Burton film that Danny Elfman has not scored). But what really makes the film is Johnny Depp's brilliant turn as the passionate and earnest, yet woefully inept, filmmaker Edward D. Wood Jr. Martin Landau is also excellent as Bela Lugosi (and Landau's daughter Juliet, Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, even has a bit role), and this goes down in history as the only time I could tolerate Sarah Jessica Parker. Plus, hey, Bill Murray! A lovely, gonzo tribute to a lovely, gonzo man.
