Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com The film's first hour-plus is not much more than a whole lotta Masterpiece Theater-style chit-chat and when the old ghost story schpiel eventually does show up... it doesn't leave all that much of an impression. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 22, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Diana E I liked this version of the story. I really liked the authentic looking country and village location. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Very enjoyable, and most loyal adaptation to Irving's book. This is my preferred version over any other, especially the Johnny Depp version. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1999) with Brent Carver is a classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. (Very atmospheric Tim Burton take on an old legend). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This has got to be one of the most boring, stupid, and head-numbingly uninteresting films EVER. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member wohoo, johnny depps yea! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
