Visually stunning

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2000)

Once again Tim Burton dazzles us with his artists eye and creates a dark and somber place called "Sleepy Hollow". Quite different from the book but never the less well told. Johnny Depp is quite good as the constable Ichabod Crane. He plays Crane as an analytical fussbudget with a weak stomach at the sight of blood which makes for some of the more humorous elements in the film. Alas, Christina Ricci is not effective at all as Katrina. No passion, no depth. Quite a waste really. The rest of the cast features some great performances by leading British actors and the addition of Christopher Lee was a treat! The sets and backdrop were perfect. This should be on everyones must see list for Halloween. A very good film.
