New Charlie And Chocalate Factory

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2005)

When I left to go see this film I has in the back of my mind the thought "Will this be as good as the original" and worried that it would not compare. Although having seen it I see that there is no way that the two can be prepared. This new make of the book has been created with completely different ideas of how Wonka behaved and how the factory looked. The Creators have revolutionised the film into the 21st Century.
Along with new added parts to the movie and some parts taken away, this movie has become a colourful and funny film to watch. Jonny Depp fitted Willy Wonka to a perfect T. He was funny and gave all the right facial expression and comedic quirks at just the right time in the right style to make you chuckle. Along with Charlies character who played the shy poor boy that was just lucky and happy to be places with his family. The actor was quiet although not too quiet he made you feel his presence within the right scenes where he wished to be noticed.
Different things brought into this films are the change in the Umpa Lumpa's songs and you get an in-site of flash backs from different characters explaining the background to all their stories.
Despite the fact that all the character had an English accent (even Depp who intentionally aimed to do so) the scrips was still including American words of which you would not hear during an English film. Although despite that this is a highly enjoyable film and a good choice to take your children or to go with your friends to see!!! 8.5/10
