In Reply to: Ed Wood: a major disappointment posted by rontokyo on December 14, 2005 at 15:56:06:
I thought the movie absolutely succeeded on its own terms. Depp seem to revel in the role and the supporting players were outstanding.Maybe its just me, but a straight movie about a cross dressing hack of a director of the worst B-movies ever made sounds like a yawner. This is one I watch, to the consternation of Mrs. Nasty, damn near every time it shows up on HBO or Skinnemax. I think even with the over the top portrayal by JD, Wood's legacy, such as it is, is well served by this flick.
