It was okay

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2007)

This was an okay movie. I loved Johnny Depp in it, he did a good W.Wonka but it's hard when your comparing it to the original. Freddy Highmore also should be watched because he is definitely a rising star. His performance was steller and very much impressive! I was very frustrated about the songs and that they weren't the original songs. I understand wanting new songs to make a more original movie but somehow Ijust expected oompa loompa doopity doo! :) the end had a nice twist though that made me a little happier with the movie, and it did have a subtle family plot that was absent in the original movie so overall it was pretty good.
