For a cineast like me this is pure magic!, why not make a movie about the worst directer ever? instead of understanding the genial ones.

A
One of the cleanest throwback films I can think of, i.e. they nailed the look & tone so flawlessly, it's never a distraction.
Depp has never been better, unless maybe Jack Sparrow. Highly re-watchable.
Would make my top 200 I think.

Might just as well be my favorite Johnny Depp movie, not that I am a very big fan of him but still this is the only one of his films I have rated higher than a 8/10.

8/10. Depp too pretty, Landau too dark.

8/10.
As it pertains to Ed Wood and friends, it is somewhat mean-spirited and or dumbed-down in a few ways, and Landau is doing Vincent Price more than Lugosi, however as a film about an artists dealing with trials and tribulations of the creative process, it is a sympathetic and funny film and may be Burton's best.
The Orson Welles cameo has the memorable quote:
"Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?"

I thought the way Bela Lugosi was portrayed was too over the top, but everything else was great.

8/10. Very entertaining, but not accurate enough
