Hilarious, witty, and worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2005)

This is a terrific movie. In fact, one of the best I have ever seen.
Johnny Depp looks and acts like a true "Willy Wonka", and the little boy, Charlie, is portrayed perfectly. They are a great match.
The only possible thing that could've made this movie better was using many different Oompa-Loompas instead of using the same Oompa-Loompa the whole time. I understand this is difficult to do.
The animation is magnificent, from the room where everything is edible to the glass elevator which smashes into Charlie's home.
My favorite line in the movie is "Everything in this room is edible. Even I am edible. But that would be cannibalism, children, and it is frowned upon in most societies." I know I don't have Depp's quote word-for-word, but it was something like that. I just couldn't stop laughing.
Johnny Depp (Willy Wonka) has kind of a sweet, lightness to him that makes you giggle just about every time you see him in this movie. He looks absolutely NOTHING like the Johnny we know. The make-up artist in this movie is incredible.
This is a great movie which is about as close to perfect as you can get. Though very different from Gene Weilder's (sp?) version, the movie is very true to the book and, of course, worth every penny.
