Re-makes can be better than Originals

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2005)

When I read most of the reviews, I saw that a lot of the people were Tim Burton fans. When I heard that he was going to remake this timeless classic, I thought "well here goes another great movie down the drain"...don't get me wrong Tim Burton is OK but not really my taste.....Boy was I wrong....I had the great pleasure to see this wonderful movie yesterday with my son, we both had a ball, we laughed and laughed. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka was perfect and the special effects, fantastic. I' really not a great believer of re-makes being better than the original but this one far surpasses the original by LEAPS and BOUNDS....
