One of the best films I have seen in a long time!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2005)

I just got back from seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at a drive in Movie Theater. The entire movie was everything I anticipated it would be and more. Tim Burton puts a slight dark twist, but still manages to keep it to the storyline and to wow audiences of every age! The Chocolate room was magnificent! It was tasteful to your eyes. The cast was a perfect fit and the music was wonderful. I may be a little bias about it(since I live in Denver,CO-One of the lucky golden ticket winners was a resident of Denver, LOL). It warmed my heart from the beginning right to the end. I must say though that since the movie does not in fact have the original scene of 'the bubble room' I was a little disappointed(it's my favorite part of the original), but Burton makes up for it with all the other candy treats to the eyes. I would say this is a MUST SEE for people of all ages!
