Better than the Original!

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2007)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great summer film. I was reluctant to see this at first, but my friends persuaded me to see it. I was not disappointed. Charlie lives with a poor family in a shack. Nothing good ever happens to that family. But one day, Charlie finds money and he brought a chocolate bar. He found a golden ticket inside. He and 4 other children are brought to Wonka's factory where there many unusual things happen. This film is one of the better films on my list. The acting was tremendously good. I never thought that Johnny Depp could play Wonka as well as Gene Wilder in the original. Burton did a good job directing this film. Danny Elfman did a great job composing a momentous score. This film is for all ages, but little children might find this movie a little scary. I rate this film a 10/10.
