An instant classic. That's what the commercials say. And for once, I have to agree. This movie is absolutely amazing.
Now one thing I want to make very clear is that this is NOT a remake! The older one and this one are completely different. Comparing Depp to Wilder is just ridiculous, because the characters they play are simply nothing alike. The feeling of the movies, the dimensions of the characters, etc., are all different in Willy Wonka and Charlie. Very different. And to be honest, I enjoyed this adaptation much more than the 'original'.
This movie was surprisingly funny, it certainly kept the audience laughing. And it even had that Tim Burton feeling to it that I was afraid it would lack. It's just so weird and funny and emotional, and it was really rather sad at some parts.
What can I say? I love this movie and I definitely recommend it!
