I'm a Tim Burton Fan to begin with,But This film is my Favorite. Johnny Depp is Great in this,and the film is Not only Spooky,But Fun to watch. LOVE IT.

ADORE IT

Starts off with a nice build-up to a not so interesting finish. Not one of my favorite Tim Burton (or Johnny Depp) films.

This is one of my top 5 horror movies.  The scene where he kills the family, even the kids, was rather chilling.  Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are an excellent team.

Interesting...no wait the other word, tedious.

Not particularly scary, and typecasts Johnny Depp as a cadaverous gothic oddball.

This movie is very entertaing for some reason. It's not very scary, but it's fun.

Hmmm. I don't think I would consider this horror.Although it is much darker than most sleepy hollow movies, I just can't see johnny depp as scary. Hmmm. Decent movie all in all but not scary.

It had its boring moments but it's a pretty good movie. Johnny Depp did a splendid job.

Pretty lame,in fact it put ME to sleep.

Good sets, but they showed too much. The real fear lies in not knowing what's out there. That is what scares me most. The unknown. They told you too much too early and showed too much. It became tedious after that.

It was a good movie and worth seeing. I always hate to see a classic tale modified almost out of existence. The names were the same at least.

Good movie, I would Not put it under horror though.

The only part of this one that was scary was when the old dude at the beginning was riding through the corn field in his stage coach. The atmosphere in this scene was pretty good, but the rest of the movie was just so-so. Just putting big names in a movie doesn't cut it.

It is a horror and it has Johnny Depp in it! What more can you ask for in a film! I mean hes just the KING of films. He aint just a hunk but hes great at acting too! Christina Ricci is alright in it (bitch!) abd I love Johnny Depp's glasses/goggle things!

headless guy runs around killing people and creating madness and mayhem in local town... great family movie.

While not scary or suspenseful per se, it definitely is enjoyable to watch. Its quite gory but not uselessly so. Johnny Depp, as always, gives a fantastic peformance. I'm not a big fan of Christina Ricci but this was tolerable. A good take on a frequently told tale.

I found "Sleepy Hollow" to be surprisingly good. Tim Burton has done it again- he has managed to take a so/so script and a so/so cast and save the film with breathtaking special effects. Johnny Depp gave a tolerable performance as Ichabod Crane, but nothing really special. I just could not take him seriously because to me, he was not suited for the role. Christina Ricci stole the show with her performance as Ichabod Crane's love interest. I found this movie to be very, very suspenseful and at some points, genuinely scary. I can remember the only part that made me jump is when the kid was hiding under the floorboards and the Headless Horseman's hand suddenly breaks through the floor. Considering that the Horseman appeared to be leaving before that, I really was not expecting that. All in all, I found this movie to be very well done and I do not regret seeing it. Reccomended!

One of the best? No way.

Sleepy Hollow was a much better movie than I had predicted. The movie itself was not scary at all, but did have some tense moments. Some scenes were freaky and bizarre.

I saw it in theatre. Its not half bad. Its a must see.

Little bit on the overpolished side, but I got a real kick out of this movie. Some really creepy moments.

It relied too much on special effects.

Not too bad, not too bad at all! Probably average for Tim Burton, the modern-day equivelant to Tod Browning. I like how it had the feel and the atmosphere of the best Universal horror movies, particularly Frankenstein. Depp gives a decent performance while Richi slides into her role perfectly. As I said before, not bad at all.

Alot of people have given this film a bad rap. This is by no means one of Tim Burton's best films but is not his worst. Well, now that I think about it, he has done better. I still think this is a very fun and campy take on the Washington Irving classic tale. I am just glad Burton was the first to turn this tale into a live action film. Could you imagine this film if it had been tackled by a run of the mill horror director? Wes Craven presents? Or John Carpenter's? All the actor's which include many Burton alumni like Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken as well as some new faces to Burton's art like Miranda Richardson and Chritina Ricci whom I felt was the weakest point of this film. I hear Depp getting alot of slack for his portrayl of the bumbling Ichabod Crane but in my opinion Depp provided this character with just the right amount of campy humor to break the dark and gory over tone of what would otherwise be a run of the mill horror turd. This is a Burton movie and when tackling even the most seriouse of subject he always likes to add camp and comedy so it won't be dull like the usual blah horror cliche dialouge. Burton is a master artist he has a great visual style and a great nack for story telling. He has done alot better in the past, but we all have experiment a little to find out what is our best port. Depp has done much worse. You ever see Crybaby? Anyway, this film is worth checking out if you are a true Burton fan and understand his vision. If not you might not like it because it is not the normal genre entry and Johnny Depp might annoy the F*CK out of you. love you jess.

ooooohhhhh nnnooooo. You just did not put this piece of trash before the Omen..or even the freaking Lost Boys, for that matter. Johnny Depp's acting was horrendous and campy (even when one considers that he pretty much did everything with his part that he could.)and it seemed almost as painful for him to say those bland, terrible lines as it was for me to listen to them. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a horse beaten to death..why can't we just let it rest in peace? What really rubs me the wrong way,though, is that Tim Burton directed this film. You don't make a masterpiece like the Nightmare Before Christmas and then do..whatever the hell this was. If you want to fully experience said tale then read the book by Washington Irving. Please don't see this movie Oh, and Christopher, honey... why? no, really, why would you do that to yourself?...

This movie isn't really scary but it's still a great movie.Tim Burton is awesome and hasn't disappointed me yet.The setting and scenery were brilliant. I thought Burton did an awesome job considering the original story line he had to work with.I supose it could have used a little more suspense but all in all its worth watching.

Sleepy Hollow was a good idea, but the movie just didn't come out so well. It in fact was a very confused movie itself, and couldn't find a path to get into something good. The scripts were a bit childish and the story-line which has changed from the book is confusing and dull.

this is such a crazy movie it scared the freak out of me it is very cool !!!!

I really liked this movie. It started out boring and lagging of my interest. But the movie kept stepping up the suspense. Not exactly scary but it kept me interested. Johnny Depp does an excellent job as Crane and so does Chirstopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. I've never read Washington Irving's official "Sleepy Hollow" but I really liked seeing some history of the headless horseman (how he loss his head and all). Tim Burton does another great job making everything dark and gloomy but at the same time keeps it beautiful. It gets better and better as the movie progresses. The only problems were that the story was sort of hard to follow b/c the characters in the story (such as the magistrates and all) weren't identified well. Too many names and not enough interaction with each character to remember who that person was. This one got four stars instead of 5 b/c the entire plot was hard to follow, it wasn't that scary, and it started off slow. But still it's pretty dang good!

i thought this movie was good, not great...good! i really like the story of sleepy hollow, it kinda took me a while to understand it since i've never seen the cartoon version. i think the movie would have been better had it of looked more real. i mean when the heads got chopped of and lilke rolled on the ground, it was just so fake looking. it could have been more bloodier.

Beautiful! This film's a classic! The script's really amazing and wow... I've been a big fan of this film and its been my #1 fav. film for about a year by now (almost).

I'd like to rate this 'fair'. A slight twist to the old fable - but lacked the 'scaries'. My three year old daughter who is a horror addict was let down even more than me.

Johnny Depp is so underrated. This was a brilliant adaptation of this story. Tim Burton has a such a specific style, and Christina Ricci is the next big star of the 21st century. Very entertaining.

Definitely not worth seeing in the theater. Probably not worth renting. But if it's a weeknight, and there's nothing on TV, and you have nothing to read, and "Sleepy Hollow" comes on HBO or Showtime, then it might be worth watching. It's kind of amusing to see Johnny Depp play Ichabod Crane as a big-city (New York) constable who must travel to the remote town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of beheadings. But Depp's earnest awkwardness gets old after a while, and the story just isn't all that gripping. Christina Ricci does a decent job as the love interest, but her performance is nothing special. The whole mood and atmosphere of the movie is dark and interesting, but not interesting enough to carry the movie by itself. Only make your way through "Sleepy Hollow" if you don't have anything better to do.

i espesially liked the part where the headless horseman cut that guy in half under the covered bridge

Johnny Depp makes a fantastic character. He's hilariously serious about everything. The setting is great-very gothic and beautiful. Christina Ricci is a babe! It's deliciously scary if you want it to be. And the interesting plot twists that differ from Disney's Sleepy Hollow keep you interested. Tim Burton making blatant fun of himself is great.

This movie was typically average, but at the same time unique because of the effects. The story was not the best, but some of the pictures were so beautiful that it must be considered art of the highest quality. The movie was actually worth seeing, just because of this. The overall impression of the movie was mysterious. The medieval feeling was also good.

I really enjoyed this movie. The fright scenes were really intense. Christopher Walken is excellent as the villian. Johnny Depp played his character well. Christina Ricci looked good in this movie.

Amazing visuals but lacking something.

An okay movie, but I expected it to be scarier. The plot was good, yet predictable. All around it was okay.

Sleepy Hollow was a good movie because it recreates the classic story told through time. The special effects and drama that are in the movie made it much scarier, as well as the plot twists and love story.

This movie is scary. It's a good date movie. It's an old classic turned into a quality movie. It seemed to go by a little too quickly.

Very good movie. The whole sombre black and white color through the whole movie added more reality to it. I would defineately see it again.

From a technical theatre major's perspective, this movie is cool. The costumes, sets, lighting, and effects were awesome, and the plot was decent and a bit scary.

It is sumptuous. The beauty of the film takes over when the plot briefly drags. I will add this film to my collection, and treasure it for the classic that time will prove it is.

There were a lot of possibilities in this film that weren't explored. There were some elements that didn't quite take off with full effect: the comic attempt was a little weak and the dialogue was simple. With all of these defects I managed to enjoy the film. I loved the special effects and remained wide eyed throughout. Good story line but it lacked intrigue.

Depp is good, scenery good, period capture good, special effects good, this thing was just a little too off-the-wall for me. With a little more foreshadowing and fewer characters clogging it up, it could have been great. Too bad.

I couldn't associate with any of the characters. Spooky rural setting was neat, but movie lacked emotion.

I might be generous in giving this a 4. While as beautiful as any Tim Burton film (even more maybe), you know there's problem when the villain needs to give a three minute speech near the end to show how loose plot lines tie together. And Johnny Depp isn't given much room to do anything of interest. Still, its one of those rare movies that uses every inch of the big screen.
