Reviews
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
alaindellow Sleepy Hollow continues the well-established collaboration of director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp. However, this film isn't as memorable or good as their previous endeavors such as Ed Scissorhands or Ed Wood. What is absolutely staggering is the cinematography by future academy award winner Emmanuel Lubeinzki(spell?). The cinematography combined with the use of fog and lights, and a stunning recreation of a gothic village is what truly makes this film special. Hauntingly atmospheric is the right word to use. The acting is good and the flow is decent but as stated earlier this isn't the best Depp- Burton union. But worth a watch.
justin-fencsak When trailers for this movie came out, I was stoked to see this take on a classic that I grew up with when it was a Disney cartoon about Ichabod Crane. When i finally saw it, i was amazed by how Tim Burton took a beloved classic and made it darker. The casting of Johnny Depp as the main guy is worthy of an Oscar, with Helena Bonham Carter as his girlfriend. The score by Danny Elfman is well done, and the cinematography and effects are great.
MonsterVision99 Its been a while since I have seen a Tim Burton film that I have really liked, I don't think his newer films are as bad as everyone says they are, but I will admit that they aren't as captivating as his older works. "Sleepy Hollow" its definitely one of my new favorites from him, such a perfect film for this time of year, the atmosphere and the elements this film contains just speaks Halloween or October to me. I had a really good time watching this, even if its a bit flawed I would still say that this is one of the best horror films from the 90'sA bit dull at times and the exposition scenes can be too long, however, these minor flaws do not ruin the whole experience. I would complain about the special effects at times, but I know they are cheesy on purpose, besides, most of the special effects are pretty great.A really good tribute to Hammer and Bava, it has some really good performances, a great mood, fantastic atmosphere, some fun gore scenes and stunning cinematography.A great horror gem.
jjknowstheway I love Edward Scissorhands and am getting into more of Tim Burton's stuff (I was born in 2000, yeah yeah yeah...) but I was so bummed with this film. It was almost too dark, if that's a thing and I know he likes that whole pale blond and pale skin but it was too creepy and Cristina Ricci deserves to have eyebrows Tim, just saying. This one was too depressing for me and I won't watch it again which sux because I bought the dang thing already. But I did not have a good time watching it at all, no amount of beer made it better. I was maybe a little surprised by the end but I think even that could have been written a lot better. I won't give up on his other movies just yet, but I think what I liked about Edward Scissorhands was there was at least a little lightness and humor.
