My dad used to read it to us kids every Halloween (the original story), so I'm a bit of a purist...but I'm also a period piece lover, especially early American stuff, and I enjoy a good detective story so I was not opposed to the premise of altering it, and actually had high hopes for it.

I just thought Depp was a poor choice and the plot line left a lot to be desired.

Of course had a lot to live up to, when Jeff Goldblum had previously portrayed Ichabod Crane in a made for TV movie in the 80s, which was IMHO, one of the top 2-3 casting choices in all of Hollywood history.
