Sleepy hollow review;

Sleepy hollow is a gothic so called Horror movie with a few mild laughs which to be honest weren’t very funny at all. Tim Burton (Director of Sweeney tod & Charlie and the chocolate factory) the director of this thrilling mystery has done a good job, but I don’t think this is his best movie as this film doesn’t show the best of his ability.

Ichabod crane (Johnny Depp) is a constable from New York sent to sleepy hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders involving people’s heads being cut off. On his arrival the towns’ people tell him that the murderer is no other than the headless horseman (played wonderfully by Christopher walken in one scene where we see him alive). Ichabod is very squeamish and doesn’t believe it but with the help of the wonderful Katrina Van Tassel (Christina ricci) who he then falls in love with and the young son of one of the victims, he uncovers some very interesting evidence that would suggest otherwise. This may sound promising but take if from me its not as good as it seems.

Johnny Depp (pirates of the Caribbean, Chocolat) who plays Ichabod crane does an amazing job in all his other movies but I don’t think that this is his best acting performance don’t get me wrong I think Johnny depp is amazing and without him in this film and it wouldn’t be anything worth celebrating. Johnny depp has a great talent for acting: he is funny, entertaining and quirky, though if you like Johnny depp I suggest you see this film!

When the first 5 minutes of the film started I began to look forward to the rest of the movie as the opening sequence was rather awesome. The close up of the hot wax melting created the impression                                                                                                                           ...
