A great adaptation of the book - Depp is outstanding

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2005)

Charlie (Highmore) is a small boy from a poor background who lives with his parents and 4 grandparents in a ramshackle old house. One day the reclusive Willy Wonka (Depp) announces that he will allow five lucky children to tour his chocolate factory and five golden tickets are hidden within Wonka chocolate bars. Charlie manages to find the last golden ticket and along with his grandfather, they commence the tour of the mysterious chocolate factory.
Thankfully, this movie was true to the original story. Depp's mannerisms and voice were prefect as the eccentric and reclusive Wonka and he was the highlight of the movie. With the help of computers, Deep Roy was excellent playing the part of all of the Oompa Loompa's, and the actors playing the roles of the other ticket winners made their characters very dislikeable.
