Summary: Heads Will Roll A lot
Review: This movie was not a thing like the book, but I thought it was a good movie. Tim Burton is a pretty good Director because he has a connection, he is weird and very smart. I bought this for DVD and they sometimes used plaster heads and threw them, or used computer. The blood was like Paint.

Summary: A beheading good film
Review: Tim Burton has always been known as a director who goes the unusual route. (His first film after all was Pee Wee's Big Adventure.) But after doing the first two Batman films he began to mature and take on bigger and better projects. He has an extraordinary visual sense which shines through in "Sleepy Hollow." How this film lost the Best Cinematography award at the Oscar's I can't figure out. It is a beautiful to just look at. The Production Design is also terrific. The action sequences are staged wonderfully and are very suspenseful. What keeps this film from being excellent is the script. It gets slow and mundane at times and the dialogue seems a bit conceited. There are many decapitation scenes which the kids might want to stay away from. The acting is solid. Depp and Ricci are beleiveable in their roles and work well together on screen. The cast Burton put together for town is also quite good. Watch this movie in the dark and then beware of the Headless Horsemen.

Summary: Boring and sad
Review: I just read a review by Michael D Ward, entitled UGH that said it perfect. I could not agree more.This was a sad remake of a chilling story, 'improved' to the point that is no longer the same story other than the names. And what was wrong with the original? It only lasted centuries, unlike this which will only last that long as landfill. The storyline was paper thing and very easy to guess what was happening next. There was no fear or horror, just a sad boring film. If you want to see this, I sugest renting and not buying.

Summary: A story made great!
Review: Great movie from the master of photography and mistery, Tim Burton. Once again, the dark misterious athomsphere famous from Tim Burton's movies really shine here. The story is well-known to many, but told in a manner of great imagination and mistery. The fighting sequences are great, dual wielding swords flash in the air and blood everywhere, some o the most impressive violent-sword-fighting scenes in this movie as well some of the most impressive misty environments ever created. The actors were very well chosen too and play their parts very nicely. All in all a great movie from a great master, dont miss if you like fighting sequences with weapons and misterious stories with a bit of terror to spice it up.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Okay, I know horrors aren't meant to be funny, but this film was! And that's why I really enjoyed it, much to my surprise. Whether it was always intentionally funny, I'm not sure....... anyway, it kept me interested in the story. Realistic gore scenes - although by the end the slash of the sword cutting off yet another character's head started to lose its effect. Good dismal, foggy scenery, etc. I enjoyed Johnny Depp's portrayal of Ichabod Crane - again, was this intentionally hilarious? Whether it was or not, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

Summary: Excellent movie for everyone
Review: After seeing this movie i gained total respect for Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp. They played their parts beautifully, and that made the movie wonderfull. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie should, because it was brilliantly done.

Summary: A great spin for those who did not enjoy the classic novel
Review: Personally, I never really got much out of Washington Irving's story of Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman. And the Disney version of this movie didn't really do it for me either. In this version however, the creative genius, Tim Burton, shows us a very different spin on the story. Those who really loved the original would probably not enjoy this remake seeing as it is quite a departure from Mr. Irving's tale. Also, those who do not like very bloody (though very fake) scenes that are highly comical should probably stay away as well. However, for my fellow lovers of all things Tim Burton as well as humorous horror films such as "Evil Dead 2", "Army of Darkness" and all the other bloody, poorly acted and written films that clog the horror section at your local Blockbuster, this movie is a must see!

Summary: Pleasantly Moody
Review: How could you not love this movie. The visuals are top notch and the music makes the whole thing flow. This is one of Tim Burton's best. Even though the movie isn't too frightening, that's not what i was expecting. Put this movie on late at night, turn up the surround sound and enjoy.

Summary: A Twisted Tale of Horror and Romance... Sleepy Hollow
Review: Yes, it was not as scary as many people would think, due to the fact that it was directed by Tim Burton and had to do with gruesome murders, but the lost scares are made up for with superb acting and excellent storytelling. "Sleepy Hollow," I feel, is one of the greatest movies I have seen in years, tied with "Aliens" and "Predator." Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, and Christopher Walken (who doesn't get enough credit for this movie) play wonderfully and captivate your sould with marvelous acting.
