Hasta ahora, la carrera de Burton podría dividirse en dos mitades. La primera mitad, la que realizó en el siglo XX, resulta indiscutiblemente interesante. La segunda no. Sleepy Hollow es un magnífico cierre de la primera mitad.

So far, Burton's career could be split into two halves. The first half, the one made in the twentieth century, it is undeniably interesting. The second is not. Sleepy Hollow is a magnificant closing to the first half.

This is Tim Burton's work at its best (Although Edward Scissorhands is the better film). The film isn't particularly strong but the whole feel to it is incredible - the clash of horror and subtle comedy, the gloomy settings, and Christopher Walken as a headless horseman. The combination of Johnny Depp, a frequent lead in Burton's films, is a highlight of the film too, and is much better than their recent work together.

While it does drag a bit towards the end I still found this to be in the better half of Burton's filmography. The cinematography by living legend Emmanuel Lubezki is fantastic and he manages to do great work while still matching the look of a Burton world. Johnny Depp is great fun as a detective not cut out for the job. He brings some much needed comedic relief at times. The plot gets a little too twisty and convoluted towards the end but luckily we've got Chris Walken with filed-down teeth swinging his axe and sword like a champ.

Christopher Walken has literally 3 lines in this film...

1. NAAAAHH!
2. WAAAAHH!
and who could forget...
3. RAAAAHH!

Would you believe as crazy as he is in this film, he's been crazier on and off film?

Even as a Burton fan, this rang a little hollow to me (pun slightly intended). It's fine while you're watching, but pretty unmemorable.

Šī ir šausmene, vai ne? Es šausmenes parasti neskatos, bet nespēju atturēties no Depa+Bērtona dueta. Kā jau tas viņiem ierasts, filma ir dīvaina, groteska, tumša, absurda, komiska. Deps ir kā vienmēr traks. Saldajā ēdienā ļaundaris Kristofers Valkens ņirdzīgā pretīgumā atieztiem zobiem. Bez viņa un Depa pārējie vairāk līdzinās statistiem. Sick un īsti Bērtoniska versija par jātnieku bez galvas, kur nav ne smakas no T. Maina Rīda romāna (ja nu kāds maldīgi iedomājas, ka šī ir romāna ekranizācija).
Vizuāli interesanti un pārsteidzoši labi pat pie super duper datorgrafikas pieradušajām acīm. Sižets gan ne pārāk pārliecināja.

I believe the film makes proper justice to the Washington Irving's horror tale. Couldn't be anyway else, because we're talking about a classic. With it's cool effects and excellent cast working throughout the sinister photography, Tim Burton manages to do the job right.

Part 3 of my Johnny-Depp-Marathon at his 50th birthday.

Yeah, well. It's not exactly his birthday anymore. But anyway I watched this horror/fantasy/detective/comedy-movie by Tim Burton.

First time on Blu-ray and in the original language - and it was so much better, even though I wasn't as scared of the headless rider as I had been back then, when I had watched 'Sleepy Hollow' for the first time. But instead there were a lot of puns on genre-classics I finally got.

A pesar de la sangre hecha con pinturas Vinci, es muy efectiva. Creo que es la última que me gustó de Depp/Burton.

Tim Burton is obsessed with Gothic art and Sleepy Hollow is another contribution to the genre from him. Told as a fairy tale for the grown ups, SH is not free from the Burton cliches. Starring Johnny Depp, the film is about the investigations of a constable on the decapitations happened in a village. Filled with fun,thrills and sleek visuals of the Gothich age- SH is a good entertainer. Danny Elfman's densely detailed soundtrack is another highlight of the film. Rating:7/10

Even though it's not an original property, this might be one of Tim Burton's best. It's definitely one of his best adaptations. You still get all the standard issue Burton trademarks (Danny Elfman, quirky designs), but everything is toned down, darker and influenced by the old Hammer movies. There are no bright colors, except during the flashbacks of Lisa Marie, which make those scenes pop out.

My only problem with the movie is the casting of Christina Ricci. The pairing with Depp seems odd and they just don't look like they would be a couple, more like brother and little sister. Everyone else is fabulous. I like the plethora of British actors that are all over this movie, and it's always nice to see Jeffrey Jones on screen.

Hangulatos film, néha erőltetett fordulatokkal, és béna CGI-jal.

Según el día, mi película favorita de Tim Burton. Lo que si tengo claro es que posiblemente sea su ultima gran película.
