Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a great family film. Johnny Depp did an amazing job of playing the crazy character of Willy Wonka. It really shows what a great actor can do. Also the child who plays Charlie (Freddie Highmore) is adorable!! Freddie really makes his character believable and he so gosh darn cute that I would think that would be enough motivation to see it!(Not to mention Johnny Depp). All the characters have great chemistry on the screen which also makes the movie so much fum to watch. This version of the film is so much better than the classic version starring Gene Wilder. The old one is very creepy but this new one is very different and has a lot more humor. The new movie also goes along very well with the book. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is definitely worth seeing. Tim Burton has done it again!
