This movie is creepy, stunning and legendary at my household.
This is my #CupOfTea.

Visually sumptuous and playfully creepy.
In between all this head-scratching nonsense, Sleepy Hollow can be fun, usually whenever the Headless Horseman shows up for swordplay that's better than anything in "The Phantom Menace."
A feast of imagery.
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.

Sleepy Hollow
As always, the production design, costume design, background score and the tone of the feature endorses it more than any other aspect of it. Kevin Yagher and Andrew Kevin Walker; the writers, lay out all the big guns before it even hits the screen, after which the only thing awaits, is the journey and the path that it takes to reach out to its predictable outcome which fortunately is intriguing enough to invest in it. If not for Tim Burton, the feature wouldn't have made it post its first act, for each and every frame screams his manner throughout its runtime. Johnny Depp is convincing in it but isn't as good as expected or required and neither is supported well enough by the supporting cast like Christina Ricci and Miranda Richardson. Sleepy Hollow is not how it seems but unfortunately not in a good way, for even though it may hold the viewers for around 100 minutes, as soon as the curtain drops it is quite easy to forget.

Sleepy Hollow is a visually brilliant piece of work from Tim Burton, but other than that I can't say there's anything I like about the movie. It's not particularly scary, thought-provoking, or extremely well acted. The film as a whole is just OK, but worth every penny for it's visuals.

A convoluted mess of a departure from the original classic story. Burton tries to direct his way out of the creative sidecars with heavy action scenes like a Schwarzenegger film. The beginning of Burton's mishandled attempts to remake classic stories. It just doesn't work.

I don't understand why some people(directors) like to spoil a perfect location+perfect cinematography+jack sparrow(I know that is not his real name) with a pathetic story **** neither a horror nor a comedy movie,its one of those fantasy ones I think(never enjoyed **** story starts off on a promising note,the location too makes you believe that you are in for a thrill and mystery ride but all your expectations come crashing down after next 20 **** a ride of disappointments where in each turn reminds you to curse yourself for wasting 2 precious hrs of your life on this **** wont enjoy this one if you are a big fan of the women in black,insidious **** know,real horror stuff,the one that would make you wet your own pants.
