Truly Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2005)

Tim Burton has managed to come out of his bad remake phase (see Planet of the Apes) and entered into an incredible one. This movie was able to bring the inner child back out in me. Johnny Depp actually did an amazing job in this movie and I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that all of the actors did an amazing job with their parts and the grandparents practically stole the show for me. Freddie Highmore was very pleasant to see as Charlie. My theatre II class did this as a children's play this year so a lot of the lines were exactly the same because the play was also based more on the book and this made me want to see the movie even more. I have to say that even if you loved the original you should at least go into this remake with an open mind. I did and I thought it was one of the best remakes I have ever seen.I am going to go see it again on Wednesday because I loved it so much! :)
