Kay Pasa's Movie Review - Sleepy Hollow

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 1999)

Tim Burton with the backing of Francis Ford Coppola does an excellent job of bringing this fable to life. Though it's not for everyone it is for those who appreciate Tim Burton's style and like to escape to a world of fiction and fantasy. The atmosphere is dark and gothic to set the mood for this humorous, horror filled tale of love, deceit and murder. They take the simplistic tale and add a who's doing it and who will gain the most plot to reason with the hideous beheadings.
Johnny Depp is a delight as the skittish, fearful, yet brave with commitment Ichabod Crane. He proves to be at his best when he portrays fictional cartoon like characters.
If your a Christina Ricci fan you won't be disappointed, if your not you may become one. She is innocently and somewhat angelicly beautiful in this film as Katrina Van Tassel. There is a real connection between Christina Ricci and Johnny Deep which works really well for Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel as each of their performances compliments the others.
