Thanks for the memories!
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
What works in this sleepy hollow adaptation by Tim Burton? The haunting atmosphere and the fantastic production design. I feel like I was transported to Sleepy Hollow of the past centuries. Johnny Depp as the milquetoast constable Ichabod Crane is more than competent and frankly I could not have envisioned anyone in this role. Supporting cast are Christina Ricci and Casper Van Dien and of course Christopher Walken as the scary headless horseman. The pacing is excellent although I feel this is a niche film and you need to watch it with a certain mindset.
This movie is easily the best slasher film of all time! I am the hugest fan of Tim Burton on earth! Some despise this movie, despite all the gore this movie is a sensation slasher horror flick. This movie is based on a true story, Tim Burton got it 100% correct. This film is superb and outstandingly overrated, but it deserves to be overrated. I could watch this movie 24.7. This is not my favourite Tim Burton film, (my favourites are; Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman Returns, Batman, Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas) but it is close to my favourites. Watch this movie with some popcorn and coca cola and enjoy this sensation slasher movie.
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.
Tim Burton combines magical fantasy, fairy tale-like romance, whodunit mystery and gothic horror to create one beautifully eccentric film. The story is based on a short novel in the 19th century, about a Headless Horseman beheading his victims in Sleepy Hollow, a small village in New York. Ichabod Crane, an investigator who uses his logic and reasoning, sets out to stop the so-called headless man. The film also adds vibrance and color to the story, adding more mysteries and shocking twists.The most thing I'm impressed of is the set. It's so hauntingly beautiful, watching it is like being in a dream where you're lost in a strange land. There's so much quirkiness in this movie, and it works. I also love the characters, they are given so much depth. Tim Burton's characters in all his films always have that outsider-vibe about them. We begin to know why Ichabod acts the way he is and we sympathize with him, even the real villain has a backstory on why he/she is so evil. The story is wonderfully told, and there are some shocking surprises, especially the villain being revealed. Well, in most mysteries like Agatha Christie, the least possible person who could've done it is actually the main antagonist. The villain just lurks around, we think he/she is just a tertiary character or something.I really love these kinds of films. Quirky and beautiful movies and strange but interesting characters.
