Superb! simply one of the best movies i've seen in the last couple of years! yet again the excellent combination of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp has proved to be a wonderful success, the spirit of the book was well preserved, unlike the first movie burtons version reflected the poverty of charlie, and the obnoxiousness of all the other contenders. some may class burtons movies to be creepy or spooky, but i think that it reflected the grim industrial truth that most cities live in. the antics and face expressions that depp did were excellent! hilarious! not to mention the overall comic elements in the movie such as the tragic fate of every single character! this movie is definitely one of the best movies of the year.
