It's funny. I've never really taken pleasure in an Ed Wood movie, and I honestly can't stand Tim Burton's films, but combining the 2 is somehow a very different story. I'd say this is one of the top 5 best films of the 90's, as well as one of the very few I'd rate a 10/10. Proof Tim Burton could have avoided being a failure and a joke if he had really wanted to.
Because of his eccentric habits and bafflingly strange films, director Edward D. Wood Jr. is a Hollywood outcast. Nevertheless, with the help of the formerly famous Bela Lugosi and a devoted cast and crew of show-business misfits who believe in Ed's off-kilter vision, the filmmaker is able to bring his oversize dreams to cinematic life. Despite a lack of critical or commercial success, Ed and his friends manage to create an oddly endearing series of extremely low-budget films.
