Typically, Burton's storytelling is sometimes erratic, but his emphasis on humanizing marginal characters -- a project that seems central to his artistic agenda -- is as strong as ever.

The film's greatest achievement is to avoid the easy, patronizing laughs and instead see the near heroic qualities of a patently untalented artist.

It's refreshing to see Burton in a relatively upbeat mood, but he picked the wrong story to give an optimistic spin.

Burton wraps it all in his singular vision, devoid of bells and whistles and all the more potent for its comparative subtlety.

Outrageously disjointed and just as outrageously entertaining, the picture stands as a successful outsider's tribute to a failed kindred spirit.

A masterful ode to movie making and the horror genre.

Burton has evoked the surface of Ed Wood's life, but in a story about a man who loves angora and frilly panties, he has barely unbuttoned Wood's uniform.

It certainly succeeds as a funny, touching tribute to tenacity, energy, ambition and friendship.

Depp-led cult-director bio delves into cross-dressing, kink.

Mr. Depp isn't best known as a comic actor, but he gives a witty and captivating performance, bringing wonderful buoyancy to this crazy role.

Given the finished film, one also has to wonder if Ed Wood was interesting enough to base a two- hour movie on.

Beguiling rather than thrilling, oddly charming instead of transporting, meaning that Disney will have its work cut out for it with what is at heart a cult movie and a film buff's dream.
