Tim Burton's worst movie to date

Rating: 2/10 (20 November 1999)

Silly, puerile, banal, relied on overused special effects. The fifth decapitation and blood-spurt lost its zing. Johnny Depp was a fool to take this role. He just lost my vote as a serious actor. And he had done so well up till now. If they had stuck to the original story by Washington Irving, at least the plot would have been interesting. A real disappointment.
