Good fun, the best from Tim Burton since Batman

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 1999)

Rarely have I seen so many heads systematically chopped off in one movie (not even Highlander had the headcount). Whether you consider this overly gory or not, I found this movie great fun and one of the best that Tim Burton has put out. However, I greatly enjoyed Sleepy Hollow.
First, the plot line is tightly constructed and makes sense unlike recent movies. Although it differs from the traditional tale by Irving, the story is a welcome change.
The cinematography is spectacular - dark and foreboding like it should be. Ricci as well as the other actors in the film are fantastic.
My only gripes would be the quick unfolding of the storyline at the end of the movie. The explanation of the sequence of events was too quick and convoluted at times. Other than that, I can't find many problems with the film.
Great work!
