This movie centers around Washington Irving's gothic masterpiece The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

In this masterpiece the brilliant director Tim Burton, and his beloved bromance partner in crime Johnny Depp tell the story in a way that Washington Irving would be proud of.

The wonderful casts members like Christina Ricci, Christopher Walken, the beloved classic actor of Christopher Lee who passed away on June 7, 2015, and Richard Griffiths another dear actor who died as well.

The story centers around Ichabod Crane a detective investigating the murders in Sleepy Hollow who uses logical and reason.

Although what the protagonist doesn't know he is on this trip his faith will be put to the test. As supernatural displays are at work, and somethings just can't be explained.

Ichabod will have to figure out who this villain is? And his faith will help him realize there are somethings that can't be explained.

His soul mission is to figure out the culprit who has been decapitating their victims.

When Ichabod acknowledges that their heads are gone he looks so innocent.

The flashback of the origin story of The Headless Horsemen the director Tim Burton I give so much praise to. He is awesome.

On set of Sleepy Hollow the two best friends looking amused by everything.

The towns people lived in peace before the Headless Horsemen started troubling them.

As the movie goes on I noticed so much of the best acting I've ever seen. I don't usually praise just anyone but Johnny is a great actor.

Tim Burton's eye for detail is one of a kind.

Using turn of the century criminology thoughts for something that hasn't been thought of is so awesome.

If the author were alive I would say he would be extremely proud of the director and Johnny.

The idea of Ichabod taking responsibility for a young adult makes it even more a great honor for a protagonist to be.

The classic tale

I love how Tim Burton made a timeless tale into something so great. As always he is talented beyond imagination.

The whole way of making Katrina Van Tassel a white witch is something that I really loved. Making her pure of heart. She becomes a beacon to the protagonist from his darkness that his father created for him.

In the final battle between the Headless Horsemen and Ichabod is a fight for his life. It's so epic. Bring the antagonist on her feet taken straight to hell with the villain. Oh my god so mythic.

Ichabod and the way his relationship is towards his Mom I believe is a form of innocence. When the protagonist witnesses his mom's death by his own dad it teaches him of the wickedness of people.

All and all learning watching this story in the eyes of a reviewer I really enjoyed it.

With the perfect cast and the ingredients for so many perfect opportunities for these people everyone has a way to bring these characters come to life.

In 1820, the American author Washington Irving wrote the short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

I wonder if he knew the that the talented Tim Burton would have directed his short story into a great movie. Ichabod Crane being portrayed by the amazing actor Johnny Depp? Either way, the story having this great adaption is dazzling and I can't even begin to imagine what the author would say shall he see this for himself.

If I were him I would be proud of this accomplishment.

I believe when this movie was released that it was worth the time for all fans of Johnny to enjoy such a great masterpiece.
