After all the fuss about Ed Wood being the worst director of all times, it's been a logical choice to see this movie. In retrospect, this movie might be an important contributor to this "fame".
After reading about Ed Wood's life, i must admit that Tim Burton's effort was one of those movies that painted reality in bright colors, making it much nicer than it actually had been. Ed Wood was genuinely untalented. Perseverance with which he approached film making has been his only true strength. Otherwise he seemed to be unhappy in this life, even according by Tim Burton's movie and Johny Depp's portrayal.
One scene stuck with me. After an overdose Bela Lugosi called Ed Wood. He rushed to the scene only to be asked to bring goulash which should supposedly help the incapacitated Bela Lugosi recover.
Overall, the movie is not bad. It is rather a question why such fascination with such a character...
