    Gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with funhouse thrills and ravishing romance.

    Hasty pacing makes for a rich and exciting movie, but not an especially spooky or spellbinding one.

    A film with no theatrical core and no integrity in the writing, acting or storytelling.

    I loved this movie! Almost everything was perfect, besides a few things that the editor should have caught, but I suppose every movie has that.

    Johnny Depps performance and Tim Burtons deeply stylish imagery manage to salvage the inane plot and over the top action sequences which act as nothing but a relentless and un-exciting barage on the senses. All the characters beyond the lead are flat and some great actors (Michael Gambon among them) are not given the screen time they deserve. On a better note, fans of Danny Elfman will be pleased with his epic soundtrack. Sleepy Hollow is dumb eye candy, but should keep you nicely entertained, just dont expect to remember much about it 5 minutes after its over… Expand
