Derek Adams
For about an hour it's a fine, ghoulish carnival sideshow, and that has its charms, but there's a thin desperation about the climax.
Peter Rainer
Burton, for all his skill, never ranges beyond the thrills of the obvious; he doesn't enlarge the meaning of the horror he shows us, the way a Brian De Palma might.
Mick LaSalle
Sleepy Hollow has an aesthetic that seems based on album covers. It doesn't feel like the work of an artist in any way.
Peter Travers
Even when the narrative stalls from too many detours and decapitations, Sleepy Hollow is gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with fun-house thrills and ravishing romance.
Kenneth Turan
An exquisitely mounted effort created to the exact specifications of an adroit director whose sensibility is truly bizarre, Sleepy Hollow is kind of an ultimate Tim Burton movie.
Jay Carr
Sleepy looks good, but acting is headless.

Still my favorites! Of all the Tim Burton films I've seen this one is still by far my favorite. I love the fact that its a thrilling and suspenseful but too scary. There are some parts of the film that I believe could have been left out, but I find its easy to over look those in this case. Ichabod Crane has never looked better!
One of my favorite Burton/Depp movies I absolutely love this movie. The legend of sleepy hollow was literally like a phobia of mine as a child and I remember seeing the previews to this and absolutely hating the people who made it. That being said as an adult it still scares me but it is such a great movie. I love it.

Perfect story for the director A wonderfully enjoyable Tim Burton piece. He doesn't go over the top here, but infects the classic tale with just enough of his wiliness that it adds so much more to the original story. Depp is great, Ricci looks her best ever, and the rest of supporting cast adds their own terrific elements to a great film.
Great movie Great movie. Johnny Depp is his usual quirky self, special effects are amazing considering when the movie was made, story is very entertaining.
Great movie This is a Tim B movie. It has great pictures and storyline. I watch this movie every year, around the Halloween season. If you like a dark mystery this is a must see.
Sleepy Hollow A classic twist on the famed headless horseman seen through the eyes of Tim Burton! A must see for Halloween. My wife and I enjoy this flick every year together and now our daughter is joining in on the fun. Def recommend for the family.
