It was good, only ever saw it on the big screen and I was a little disappointed as it was kiddiefied a bit, the colour of the blood was pink?! What's up with that? I think I would of liked it a little less fantastical and maybe a bit more realistic. Nice effects though.

i dislike Burtons style in this film. i mean it was just a little too nightmare before xmas for my taste. I always thought that look Burton goes for time and time again is summed up perfectly in the Huges bros film From Hell. From Hell is what Burton films would look like if he subtracted the gayness from them.

I disagree (gayness?), but at leaast you put some thought into your reasons. I can respect that. I always loved tim burton, especially since Danny Elfman is the reason i wanted to get into film scoring back in high school. (Got accepted to the wrong college for that, so i took time off from school and went into writing instead of music....Damn Berkley.....)
I liked sleepy hollow. Very weird. Christopher Walken was godamn scary looking. And who hasnt wanted to see casper van dien cut in half since starship troopers? Everyone else in that movie did..

I absolutely loved Sleepy Hollow. Sure, it wasn't exactly scary, but it was amusing and creepy. Tim Burton can do no wrong by me, though.
Tim Burton+Johnny Depp+Danny Elfman's Music+bloody deaths=Very Happy Macabre_Maiden!

i thought that it was cool. thought that burton did a good job.
i'm ready to see burton's directing style on willy wonka and the chocolate factory. jonny depp is rumored to play willy wonka. another rumor is that marilyn manson will play willy wonka too. nothing against manson or anything but i wouldn't want to see him as willy wonka.
Depp should be Wonka.
I love sleepy hollow, because you really don't know when to laugh or be creeped out. I love that dark feel he adds.

okay heres what im talkin about. if you look at truely great directors like oh scorsese (sp?), ridley scott, coppola, etc. youll notice that these directors succeed again and again using different styles and ideas. I feel that burton uses the "spooky" thing as a crutch. Im telling you watch from hell and sleepy hollow back to back, if you compare the creepiness factor between the two burtons style just seems so childish, at least to me anyways. i just got tired of all the buildings with impossible proportions and all the goofy "pumpkin king" style scarecrows.
and fuck man i love elfman as much as the next rabid horror fan but if i have to hear the london boys choir one more fucking time im going to lose it. seriously im not seeing anything new from either both elfman or burton, and seeing that i do feel that both of these men are quite gifted, that kinda bothers me.

I find it impossible to argue with you. Not because i 100% agree, but i do for the most part, and you listed Ridley Scott as one of the greatest all time directors, so to me, you are a saint. He has done plenty that i wouldnt watch, but what would the world be without alien? Or even blackhawk down?

The most recent news is that Depp will be playing Wonka. He has said that if Marilyn Manson changes his mind and asks for the part, he'll step down. But since that hasn't happened yet, Johnny is Wonka.

I liked this movie a lot. It had a great cast and a great director. It also was not a strait forward horror movie. When I first saw the trailer I thought it was going to be a slasher. Boy was I surprised, Tim Burton did not let me down:)
