My thoughts on the movie.

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2006)

Okay, I voted this movie a ten because I like this version better than the older Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I like it because of the way Johnny Depp portrays Mr. Wonka. He seems more delightfully insane. I like it when he's asked if he constantly gets those flash backs and he says (something to the effects of) "More and more frequently today." That was just hilarious to me because I know a lot of people who can relate to that (not just about family). It's nice to see Willy Wonka a little weird and obsessive about his chocolate, because that's how you know it's worth buying.
The things I disagree about this move with is the songs. Like I like the one with Agustus. The one with Violet wasn't that bad, but it's not my favorite. The one with Mike Tevee and Veruca Salt...Oh, that was just like "Who farted?" right? I mean the songs make sense but just the way TIm Burton chose the "video" for it. Urgh! And why the same guy for oompa loompa's?? I mean, he looks nice and all. But come on! At least the oompa loompa's from the other movie looked the same, but still were different sizes (aka the dressed the small people up the same way but they were still visibly different) compared to the computer generated ones.
These were my only problems, though I still find the movie to be better and a tad bit refreshing (because who wants to watch the same move recreated in a different year?). So I like it.
