A big dissapointment

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 1999)

Even though I enjoyed seeing Sleepy Hollow, and probably will buy it when it comes out for sale, I would have to say that it is Tim Burton's most disappointing film. The cinematography was excellent, the action scenes were spectacular, but the story itself seemed kind of half-assed. The main problem I had was Ichabod's dreams. They had no relavence to the rest of the movie. They seemed like they could done a lot more with them, for example: Have his mother be the witch controlling the horseman. But no, his mom was a witch and his dad killed her. That's just great.

The next problem was "the villan" : Where the hell did she come from? She just popped in at the end of the movie! I mean i know that we saw her as a child, and I knew she was Katrina's stepmom, but that's it! The she just pops in and basically says "In cased you missed it, here's the plot" The plot of a movie should be hinted at throughout the film, not just thrown at the end. It's confusing and irrelevant.
I'm sorry Tim Burton, but Sleepy Hollow has to be your worst movie. Next time I suggest revising your script.
