Burton's best work yet.

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2001)

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Sleepy Hallow. It of corse follows fairly closely the story of which the movie was named after, but the atmosphere is like something you've never seen. Thoughout this movie you never see sunlight, but it takes you though a dark fasinating world of great visuals. It's a scary movie as well, with effective suspense and good headless horseman special effects. Johny Depp's performance was very good as the interesting Icobad Crain. The only thing I really didn't like about this movie was Christina Ricci, who's character is very flat.
Tim Burton has done some good movies like Batman Returns, the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Sissorhands, but this film tops them all. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it's pretty close. I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
