Fantastic Movie!! A MUST See!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2005)

I thought this version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was MUCH better than the older version. Johnny Depp has always, and will always be my FAVORITE actor, as for Tim Burton with directing. Ever since I saw "The Nightmare Before Christmas", I knew as soon as I saw that preview of this movie, I would absolutely love it. And you know what? I did! Johnny Depp did a VERY good role of Willy Wonka. He was just as I picture him: Freaky, Odd, and a bit sad. Some of his lines made me laugh with tears going down my cheeks! Also, Freddie Highmore was so adorable and kind, he reminded me of the original Charlie. Also, Veruca could've been a little bit more brattier. But remember: THIS VERSION WAS MORE BASED ON THE BOOK. Also, I was watching something on HBO, and the man's family who had created this wonderful book even said that they liked this version better than the other!! The Oopma Loompa's were VERY enjoyable as well, but I did miss the original song that they sung. I give this movie a 10/10 rating! Go see it! You won't regret it.
