Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2005)

A really great re-make of the earlier Gene Wilder movie version. Very entertaining although it has a slightly different ending that is a bit more family orientated. Johnny Depp plays the lead role easily which is ideal for his off-beat character. The kids characters are played out really well too. For those that are interested I found that the Charlie and the chocolate factory story lives on at the Roald Dahl Museum in Buckinghamshire in the UK which pays tribute to all of the authors works not just this story. There is also a modern interpretation of the wonka bar at chocolotto.com which seems quite interesting and would be interested to hear what others think.
