A dark horror/adventure (w/ a little comedy) that's a little icky.

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 1999)

My dad finally convinced me to go to this movie, cuz he had enjoyed the story by Washington Irving. Personally, I have never read the story (so I would not know if the movie is true to the story), but was excited to see it. To start out with, there's no noticeable swear words in it, but the gore gives it the R rating...lots of decapitations and killings. It was a little icky, but it didn't distract me so much. What amazed me most was the entire atmosphere of the movie. It was spectacular...mostly dark and musty, a perfect setting for a creepy movie like this. My dad said it was kind of off from the story, and a little over-the-top with some sequences. All in all, it was a good movie with great action sequences and a chuckle here and there..kinda reminded me of "The Mummy", only much darker.
And like Entertainment Weekly said in a recent issue, some sequences make Johnny Depp "look like he made love to a jelly donut." Laugh out loud!
