One of Burton's best.

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2003)

I am not a big Tim Burton fan. For the most part, other than this movie Batman is like the only other one he has done that I really like. This one though he did great. His like for darker things helps this movie be as good as it is. This time Crane is a detective who goes to Sleepy Hollow to investigate some murders. The atmosphere and Burton's use of colors really enhance this movie. I also like the change in the story, as a detective is just more interesting than a schoolteacher. Johnny Depp is great as Crane and the rest of the cast is good as well. There is even brief appearance by Christopher Walken and horror legend Christopher Lee. I wish Lee had a bigger role in this one. The story is really good in this one, though near the end it is almost more of an action than a horror. Still a good movie though. I love what happens to the woman in the end.
