Movie Reviews of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Movie Review: Good Telling of the Legend with some flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a big fan of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and have always enjoyed the classic Disney cartoon. However, am always on the lookout for a good live action version of the story. After watching this one, I think it is a good version, the only things lacking were the chase at the end (it left a lot to be imagined) and the fact that the Brom Bones character was not "Rough and Tough" enough . However, it does stick to the legend very well. Cheers!
Movie Review: Great for the classroom
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie for how simple, entertaining and close to the original story it is. I am a 6th grade teacher, and for the past two years my class has read the story and watched this movie version. Last year, my kids said that it was much better than the gory Tim Burton one. I am so excited to be able to buy a copy since my taped-from-TV copy is getting worn from use!Movie Review: The Real Story
Summary: 3 Stars
This version is pretty much what author Washington Irving had originally written. It is the exact opposite of the Tim Burton film. This film, while niely made, looks and feels like a cheap PBS production. It's great fun for families, that's for sure, but far from being a classic or gripping. I think, after seeing Burton's film, we sorta want that gothic horror film feel that he created. Not here. What this is is a faithful adaption of Irving's story. I love the story and every shape and form it comes in, but I prefer Tim Burton. Still, a very faithful adaption of the story.Movie Review: NOT low budget
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband worked on the NY portion of the film.. and it was far from low budget. It was a beautiful film (I guess that's why it won the Oscar for Set Decoration), well directed and funny (even though I don't think it was always supposed to be funny) It was a pleasure watching the film take form by visiting sets, and it was an incredible finished product.Movie Review: Quite different...
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, firstly, this movie is FAR from the gothic, Johnny Depp film. Not one moment of gore in the entire feature, which makes it on the whole an enjoyable family flick, although an obvious British, low budget production.Still recommended, though...
