Movie Reviews of Sleepy Hollow [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Great movie but not a very good BluRay version
Summary: 3 Stars
I share the frustration of other reviewers. This is not a great BluRay version. That is why I rate this product only 3 stars (not the movie). Picture looks grainy, it doesn't have a true HD feeling. Also, sound is not HD. They should have done a better job with this film. They should have added more extras (there are only 2 extras one of which is like behind-the-scenes documentary and the other is Legend Of Sleepy Hollow). They should have added HD sound and improved the picture quality. If you don't own Sleepy Hollow, you may buy it, but if you already have the standard DVD version, you may want to stay away.
Movie Review: Just... OK!
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this movie very much, I am a Tim Burton fan for years, that's the main reason why I bought it; but I must say that i was not impressed with this Blu-Ray vertion I got to say not the best DVD transfer out there these days.
Still I enjoy the movie very much!

i was a little disappointed in the sound and picture for this blu-ray. i thought the picture and the sound could have been better.Movie Review: Not good if this is just a reissue.
Summary: 2 Stars
First off this is a review of the product, not the film. The movie is one of me favorites. With that said here is why I gave the BD a bad rating. I have seen the original release of this Blu-Ray back before Paramount switched sides and if this is just a reissue of that product now that they have to make Blu-Rays again I would recommend getting the DVD. The HD film transfer was terrible. It was the same on the HD-DVD. The only upside to the HD-DVD version is that it at least had a form of HD audio (Dolby Digital Plus - which sounds way better than the original mix). The BD did not and I suspect this one will not either. You are better off getting the DVD and upconverting from that. I have Both HD-DVD and DVD versions (rented the original BD). Film quality on the upconverted DVD is exactly the same as both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions. The only thing different (and reason I own the HD) on the HD-DVD version is HD sound. The Blu-Ray has the same sound mix that was available on the DVD. High disappointment for BD owners. Blu-Ray doesn't require HD sound unfortunately - the same thing happened on Michael Clayton (TrueHD on HD-DVD and nothing for BD). If you have a HD-DVD player and you want the HD sound (you must have a HD receiver to get this benefit) I recommend that version otherwise save your money for a different BD release that deserves you patronage. If this is a cleaned up version feel free to let me know, but since there is nothing that says "Remastered," as The Fifth Element had, I will assume you haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, Casino Royal, National Treasure or the many other stellar BD releases or you just need to get your eyes checked if you give this Blu-Ray a great review. Hope this helps with your shopping.
Edit-Turns out this is just a reissue of the same BD that was originally released back when Blu-Ray launched. No improvements what so ever. Bad HD transfer and no HD sound. If the HD-DVD didn't have Dolby Digital Plus I would have never gotten it on HD-DVD and the lack of an HD sound format on the Blu-Ray makes purchasing this item absolutely pointless, since the DVD upconverted looks exactly the same as the HD transfer.
Great movie. Bad product.
Movie Review: About the Blu-Ray transfer
Summary: 2 Stars
I think this is a wonderfully entertaining movie, so I just don't understand the negative reviews. However, this review is not about the movie, but about the particular transfer of the first US Blu-Ray edition. It is true, as other reviewers say, that it is grany, and it shouldn't...a BR should not have this grain, because it is not in the original movie, unlike other cases (e.g., "The godfather", where the grain is an essential part of the original look of the movies). Paramount did not bother to provide anything but the standard Dolby Digital and DTS sound, no improvement at all in the sound department, and there should have been. This said...hey, we're talking about high definition here. The level of detail is really much better than in any DVD edition (I compared it with my DVD in the same player). Backgrounds and CG shots are much more detailed, and the textures of clothes, furniture, and objects are much more realistic and alive. So, it still deserves a better treatment in Blu-Ray, but, for the time being, it is the best version you can watch, specially if you are tired of the pixels in your large TV set.
