what if Proyas had direct..

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 1999)

This movie is not scary. This movie isn't all that exciting. But it's very clever and well directed. Tim Burton is one of the master of the eerie movies (Batman 1-2, Edward Scissor Hands), but not 'the' master (my vote for Alex Proyas). This movie is entertaining, but a bit miscast (Ricci) and lacks some twists. The style takes over the substance, two thumbs up to Ray Park for the headless horseman, --and it's very over-the-top. Johnny Depp is really good. The musical score is not memorable.
I Give this movie a 67% (7/10).
P.S. Hope someone can make a better movie in the same genre.. nice try. The color of the blood was annoyingly fake.
