Fabulous Film!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

Absolutely fantastic film. Different interpretation of the book, but still keeps all the main thread of the story. I have heard reports that Johnny Depp is been slated for his betrayal of the Wacky character Willy Wonka, however i found him hilariously funny and felt affection for the character of which he played. The fabulous special effects really add to the magical world of the Chocolate factory, and compared to the bleak dark opening scenes, the contrast really does draw you into the film. It is a great film all ages, however i would be apprehensive of taking any children below 8 or 9. My nieces are 6 and i felt that it maybe a little scary and weird in parts for them.
All in all a fabulous film!!!
