I've seen it at the theaters. I couldn't wait to pre-order at reel.
The sets, tone and mood of the movie was good. Don't want to spoil anything about the plot but it sure had a different take on the legend of sleepy hollow.
I believe the DVD would look great.
Just my two cents.

If you like Tim Burton, this is a film to pre-order if only for the commentary!
DVDFile (www.dvdfile.com) has a great interview with Burton about the disc. Check it out if you still aren't sure...

Easily my most desired preorder.
Saw it a couple of times in the theaters and each time I brought a different friend to see its charms.
Don't read the rest of this! Go order it now! Now! Or at the VERY least rent it.
Very entertaining film.

I loved this movie, and I think it should be an excellent addition to anybody's collection.
The DVD:
This might be the most feature-laden disc that Paramount has released yet. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that.)

- [*]1.85:1, enhanced for widescreen.[*]Director commentary[*]Photo gallery[*]Theatrical trailer[*]Behind-the-scenes footage[*]The usual scene access, interactive menus, cast/crew bios, and 5.1 surround.[/list]
The Movie Itself:
- [*]Stars Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Jeffrey (Principal Rooney) Jones, Christopher (Dracula) Lee, Ian (Palpatine) McDiarmid, Michael (Alfred) Gough, Lisa (Tim Burton's wife) Marie, Ray (Darth Maul) Park, and somebody with a very high cool quotient as the Horseman. The actors are all great, especially Depp's effiminate Ichabod. Ricci is mesmorizing as Katrina, and the Horseman exudes the right amount of menace. [*]The film is simply gorgeous--the cinematography, the costumes, the sets...[*]Supposedly it stays pretty wild from the source material, but it's been years since I've read it so I can't remember. There is a nice homage to the Disney cartoon though.

This movie had incredible direction. Cinematography, effects and costumes were just perfect. I really thought the acting sucked though. It's my humble opinion the Johnny Depp couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. The horseman was by far the best actor of the whole flick. I thought the whole script was kind of dumb, both the story and the dialogue, but then again, I'm a fan of the original book, so I guess that might make me a purist
