Rating:  - A VISUAL PHANTASMAGORIA
In, what has become one of my favorite films, Tim Burton served up an extraordinarily vibrant retelling of the Washington Irving classic, with rich baroque siennas, umbers, and golds jumping out of the mists of a secretive little burrough, where a number of bodies begin to show up missing their thinking caps. Enter a constable ( wonderfully portrayed by Johnny Depp ), out of favor with his superiors, given to vapors, and scientific methods that appeal not at all to the puritanical powers that be. With the aid of a local beauty ( winsomely played by Christina Ricci ) of mysterious bent, and a young lad related to one of the headless, our gallant policeman puts aside his fear of large bugs, and searches for a human devil...
Bottom line: there are plenty of extras in this particular version, and it's well worth the bread.
Rating:  - Great Movie, HORRIBLE Blu Ray Transfer
So far, this is the worst quality Blu Ray disc I have seen, which is a shame because this is such a visually stunning film. The Blu Ray is extremely grainy and details in many shots almost seem to have a smudged look. Paramount should recall these discs and tranfer the film over again. Don't buy this Blu Ray.
Rating:  - Great Movie, poor Blu ray transfer
This is easily my favorite Tim Burton movie but I must admit that the Blu ray transfer looks horrible. The faces are so grainy it makes it tough to watch. I put my regular DVD of this movie into my sony Blu ray and had it up coverted and it looked better than the Blu ray. Back to the drawing board guys !
Rating: - Perfect Halloween Movie
My sister and I love Halloween, and this movie is a perfect one to watch to get in the appropriate spirit. In addition to fine acting, the special effects and artistic rendition of Sleepy Hollow is classic Tim Burton. Fabulous!
Rating: - Great Blu-ray Experience
Anyone who knows the name Tim Burton doesn't have to be told that you can't go wrong with any of his flicks. Burton's films were born to be seen on blu-ray, and Sleepy Hollow is no exception. I am new to the blu-ray world and this was my first blu-ray at home. Having seen this movie a few times before, I was not forseeing any real surprises. As for the actual story and such, I knew what to expect. It was the clarity that surprised me. The little things in the background. The scenery. All gorgeous...Now, for my movie review......"It Rocks!!"
