Johnny Depp puts on a wonderful performance in Edward Scissorhands 2, this sequel to Tim Burton’s classic film. Excuse me if I seem a bit confused because Tim Burton behind the camera and Johnny Depp in front of it are so at home in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street that I forgot about almost everything that they have done in between. Burton has been chasing this particular Demon for years now and Depp grew into the role after a triple stint as Captain Jack. (Who knows where he got the singing voice, probably from wherever he gets his other morphing skills.) The knife fingers are traded for a barber’s blades (“My friends!” Depp sings when reunited with his silver set) and the blameless naiveté has been swapped for angst-ridden revenge but one can see the similarities, though it is juxtaposed by a warped mirror.
