Huzza for Tim Burton!

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2005)

This movie was wonderful! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It was just as bizarre and creepy and magical and fun as Ronald Dahl's book. Don't bother comparing it to the other movie version, this one far surpasses it. I loved the back story for Wonka, it explains a lot.
This is a perfect movie for children of all ages. It teaches them about loving ones family and following ones dreams. And it does so in a lovingly sneaky way. The filming of this was done so well, it felt like a psychedelic Disney ride, annoying puppet songs and all.
Johny Depp did an amazing job as always. He really figured out how to pull off being creepy children's game show host while still being charming. He really made Wonka feel like an overgrown and misunderstood child.
I recommend this to all those who are children at heart.
