In fact, he\u2019s the rare actor who\u2019s had so many great roles that it\u2019s easy for audiences to overlook some of his best performances. For example, <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em> doesn\u2019t get nearly enough love, but you can change that by streaming this quirky Tim Burton classic for free on Tubi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The plot of <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em> is that the title character is a gentle artificial human whose creator died before he could give his creation real hands. That leaves Edward with (no points for guessing) scissors for hands, which becomes problematic when a nice saleswoman brings him home to live in the suburbs. There, Edward discovers the modern world and falls in love, but angry townies might spell the end for this Frankenstein before he can take a bride.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em> is an early Tim Burton film, and the director fills every frame with his trademark gothic whimsy. The movie\u2019s whimsy and pathos are driven home by beloved composer Danny Elfman, whose score will make you want to alternate between laughing and crying. That\u2019s the perfect vibe for a movie about a soft-spoken robot here to teach us all what it means to be human.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/johnny-depp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Johnny Depp;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Johnny Depp<\/a> stars as the lead character and plays against type in the best possible way. Modern audiences may best associate Depp in flamboyant roles in everything from <em>Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> to <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/fantastic-beasts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fantastic Beasts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Fantastic Beasts<\/a> and Where To Find Them<\/em>, and there\u2019s no doubt the actor does great in bombastic roles where he gets to chew the scenery like he\u2019s starving. But in <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em>, Depp\u2019s performance is wonderfully subdued, and he is able to convey so much nuance in this film with nothing more than vulnerable looks and impossibly soft line deliveries.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/UColdJl.eC14P47GqwNiKg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/2baa59e7d9dd14891d342ab67c46595c\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The rest of the <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em> cast is great, including horror icon Vincent Price as Edward\u2019s creator and \u201880s staple Anthony Michael Hall as a local boy jealous of the new goth robot that moved into the neighborhood. Triple threat Dianne Wiest (she\u2019s won one Golden Globe, two Emmys, and two Oscars) plays the kindly Avon saleswoman who brings Edward home, forever changing the lives of everyone in her family.
