Rating: 5/10 (9 February 2004)

After a promising start, the ongoing moments of extreme visual magic were not enough to lift the narrative to greatness. I even found myself looking at my watch somewhere around minute 87 ... at a Tim Burton film. Blasphemy! The ending hits some strong points and wraps things up satisfactorily. Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a critical ho-hum, definitely had me more on the edge of my seat throughout. With Burton, we expect great things. This one is a "not quite."
