Another outstanding Burton film

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2006)

It really reminds me a lot of Hammer films, it's dark overtones and imaginary backgrounds, a truly well-made film. With Johnny Depp and the beautiful Christina Ricci (love her) Burton crafts a genius film that even though is not a Nightmare on Elm Street sequel, it has its' own agenda with dark and macabre horror. Some very frightening moments, not for the squeamish. For those of you that find this film empty, I think you should really look in a more realistic point of view rather than judging. Christopher Walken does an acceptable role as the headless horseman, even though his lines are only "HA!" it gets amusing after a while yet I don't really find his character boring or wasted at all. Johnny Depp does another film which shows he can do anything. The beautiful and darkly mysterious Christina Ricci lands a great role in this movie, Miranda Richardson does a fine job as well as Christopher Lee who seems to be back to acting~ Many surprises along with well-done Tim Burton twists, and finally, a solid 15 rating in a Burton film. Bravo Tim Burton!
