Wonderful!

Sleepy Hollow was a fantastic film, a story that could only have been made truly enjoyable (for me at least) by Tim Burton. When I was little, the cartoon freaked me out...but I've never really been able to understand Ichabod in most interpretations. Either you pity or despise him, you think 'well it's a shame what happened...but he was stupid' or 'I'm glad he died...the money grubbing jerk!' In reality, this just made the character deeper, not to mention the fantastic costumes...gels...scenes. It has an artistic flare, obviously...being a Tim Burton film (as I've mentioned.) The characters are deeper and more understandable. This is one of the very few mysteries that took me until the end to figure out the killer. Even then I was still surprised.
