One of Burton's finest, second only to 'Beetlejuice' in pure non-animation, creativeness. Depp shines as a completely innocent, completely naive, misunderstood, Frankenstein creation that was unfortunately stuck with scissor hands. I found all supporting cast around Depp played their characters precisely as intended. IMO, a true masterpiece that will stand the test of time. If you want to see the ladies shed a tear then show them this timeless classic.
