yep i liked it.

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2005)

i had heard the comment that johnny depp resembles michael jackson in this film even down to the squeaky voice.....and it did seem evedent on our 1st encounter with wonka...but it quickly subsides and depp takes the character, where he wants to...
not having seen the original i have nothing to compare to which may be a good thing... i enjoyed the obvious hallmarks of tim burton see the pumpkins.. he always has pumpkins in his films.... the darkside and the dreadful poverty of the buckets, and of course the overriding moral issues of loyalty and love for which no amount of money or chocolate can buy....enjoyable, entertaining, colourful and slightly sinister the way wonka so easily allows the brats to become croppers in their various ways.....poetic justice.
