Although Johnny Depp is one of my favorites actors...

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2006)

Johnny Depp is one of my favorites actors. I feel he can play the part of almost any character. However I did not enjoy this movie very much. In my opinion, Depp's portrayal of Wonka was quite dark. I feel this movie would have been much more enjoyable to watch with either Jim Carey or Paul Rubens playing Willy Wonka. I feel the vibrant personality and energy of either actor would have brought the role of Willy Wonka more to life. Also, the Oompla Loompa's singing and dancing routines were pretty dull as compared to the original. Am I the only one who shares these opinions or does any else feel the same way ? Please share.
