Dark and captivating artistic masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 1999)

Deftly Captures the spirit of the original tale. The visuals are simply incredible; the old homes, the costumes, and the fantastic music in the film combined to really set the mood. Both Depp and Ricci are very good, especially Depp with his Ichabod Crane.
Burton deserves a lot of credit for maintaining a constant feeling of atmosphere in the film and for some really incredible imagery.
A very tasteful, artistic adaptation.
