Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Rate: 1
Viewed: 12/13

12/13: The film title is absolutely dead-on: it's that sleepy and hollow.

Thanks to Tim Burton's predilection for lush cinematography that highlights the color of black, Sleepy Hollow is a bona fide crapola. It's also vapid, obtuse, insipid, and convoluted.

Johnny Depp is a moron of an actor which explains why he hadn't starred in a good film since 1998 with the exception of one that earned him an Oscar nomination. Has he been too distracted by playing his own crappy music during free time?

All in all, Sleepy Hollow will do to you what the title indicates.
