Pros: Johnny Depp. Suspenseful and interesting.
Cons: None for me. Could be too violent and gory for some people.
Summary: Since seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl I have become a big fan of Johnny Depp. I had seen and enjoyed some of his earlier movies, like Sleepy Hollow, but I hadn’t ... read more

Pros: Dark visuals are intriguing at times
Cons: Kind of cookie cutter in the storytelling fashion
Summary: Sleepy Hollow is a pretty average film with some really good imagery to back it. It's yet another Depp/Burton collaboration, I feel like I've reviewed a dozen of them already and it's starting to become a pain to see it over and over again, but whatever, ... read more

Pros: pretty good movie overall
Cons: not a scary movie, but many think it is.
Summary: "Sleepy Hollow" is one of those movies where you cant wait til it comes out, from all the hype on it. Directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp, based on Washington Irving's story, it does honor the writer's original creepy intentions but still has ... read more

Pros: Johhny Depp, Christina Ricci, Directed by Tim Burton, quite dark
Cons: not very scary, too much supernatural and not enough substance
Summary: With a case of three people being decapitated in the small town of Sleep Hollow, a New York detective of sorts is commissioned to investigate the cause, and track down the killer. Ichabod Crane is the name of the man sent, and it seems that this case ... read more

Pros: acting, script, originality
Cons: differs from the original tale
Summary: Sleepy Hollow for me is a Halloween movie when I'm feeling a little less traditional. The story is loosely based around the Sleepy Hollow tale most people are familiar with. There are lot of aspects that have been changed from the original tale. It has ... read more

Pros: great Halloween movie, style and story
Cons: some offending elements, no imagination on the DVD
Summary: What has more atmosphere than I Know What You Did Last Summer, more style than Scream, a more fearsome ghostly villain than Friday the 13th, and a better story than all of them combined? It’s Sleepy Hollow. It is but it isn’t a horror movie. It is but ... read more

Pros: It's Burton. Are you kidding?
Cons: I did what?
Summary: I was looking through some old posts at a message board I belong to today and came across a discussion I never finished. The topic was based, in part, around parents who take children to inappropriate movies. I had stated that I let my six-year-old ... read more

Pros: Great visual style, Johnny Depp
Cons: Disturbing for some
Summary: The word "sleepy" conjures up images of sleeping, boredom, bad pace etc. The word "hollow" sums up ideas of blotchy badness. Yet bring these two words together and you have a great film; Sleepy Hollow Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane ... read more

Pros: Everything was amazing; the setting, the story, and the characters. Definitely a scary film.
Cons: The ending was not one that you could figure out yourself, although it was legitimate.
Summary: I first saw this movie in my basement. My friends and I were too impatient to wait until night and ... read more

Pros: Sets the standard by which all other movies are judged as far as visuals.
Cons: I can't say that the head townspeople bring much beside their accents to the table.
Summary: Tim Burton was reported to be very upset that the MPAA didn't hand "Sleepy Hollow" a PG-13, and if they were grading on sheer atmospherics, they would have. Every single fright in the movie is designed not to terrify, but to take viewers back in ... read more

Pros: Depp
Cons: too long
Summary: Depp does an excellent job. Story is quite not what I expected. Caskets part of plot is interesting. Headless horseman in the woods at night in the dark ... dark overtone to entire movie is cool. This was truly a classic for all time. I could see this ... read more

Pros: Depp, Ricci, Richardson, Gambon, entire cast. Sets, cinematography, script, costumes, and macabre music.
Cons: None.
Summary: This is definitely my favorite Tim Burton as well as Johnny Depp movie. You know how macabre Burton can go in his movies, Sleepy Hollow is no exception. The cinematography, sets, costumes, and atmosphere are the best I have ever seen (seriously). The ... read more

Pros: Depp, Walken, the humour, the use of light
Cons: Jeffrey Jones, some of the script (esp. the Millennium gag at the start, grrrooan)
Summary:
The opening few scenes of Sleepy Hollow set the scene and general mood of the film – the opening titles are brilliantly integrated into the scenes they overlap – varying from watery to misty as you see the hero of the tale, Ichabod Crane (Johnny ... read more

Pros: The impressive visuals and gripping action are worth seeing the 2nd time
Cons: Script quality, and at times excessively gruesome
Summary: The storyteller’s voice, pleasant and comforting, recounts “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” The warmth of a hearth, a cup of hot chocolate, a soft carpet and cozy blankets and pillows all become part of the wonderful experience. All this is and ... read more

Pros: romantic/gothic imagery, superior acting and directing
Cons: a bit gorey
Summary: I love the beauty of which is Tim Burton's mind. His gothic, romantic - yet sometimes humorous - larger than life images just capture every aspect of the word "beauty" that you can imagine. He is my favorite director by far and it's not necessarily ... read more

Pros: Looks amazing, and has Burton's flavour running all the way through.
Cons: Weak in mystery, and a little too long.
Summary: Now this is how it should always be: Tim Burton, a classic horror story, the hammiest (or even, whisper is, campest) acting this side of Carry On Being Camp, blood flying everywhere and enough decapitations to fulfil every gore-loving movie freak’s wet ... read more
