A sugar-coated film for the whole family

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2005)

When it comes to the fantastic trio of Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Danny Elfman, the movie is bound to be wonderful one, as with Charlie and the chocolate factory. Though the Depp's Wonka is a little different then the original book one, he's still a great and intriguing character, and the film even has insights about his past and such to give him a reason to be so odd and to have his quirks. Dotted with well placed and unique humor, this film will keep you giggling, snorting, chuckling, and smiling through the whole film. Though Depp's Wonka can be a little creepy, and even a little nuts, he's still a wonderful and unique character to enjoy. The music for this film is also great. It helps set the mood, and, the Oompa-Loompas' songs have a new spin to them, and I simply cannot get the songs out of my head. I give this film an A+, a Ten out of Ten, a thumbs up, or anything else you can think of to say its great. It is personally my favorite movie, and will forever leave a lasting and cheerful impression on me for time to come.
