Great film far succeeds the first...

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2005)

For those of you who have written bad comments about this movie, i'm not going to have a go at you, but i suggest you go back and watch it again, because you obviously fell asleep after the adverts at the beginning, because it's absolutely FAB!!!!! I have read the book and seen the original since watching the movie and have compared the two, (I'm sad like that). The second movie sticks more to the book than the 1917 version. But also adding in it's own bit here and there just to give the movie a bit of a lift and to make it more their own...
I've always admired Tim Burton's work and i love 'Nightmare Before Christmas.' But Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is by far his best film yet. And having Johnny Depp play Willy Wonker is fantastic, they've done so much work on Johnny Depp that he looks nothing like he's usual self.
I found it a bit rude that people have started calling it 'Willy Wonker and the Chocolate Factory,' but by the way the movie is done it dose seem that thats the idea. They've added flash backs and everything to enhance Willy Wonkers roll, and less about Charlie and his life etc... Also another down side was when the children and parents first meet Willy Wonker. In the book he comes out and dose cart-weeks and stuff, which sound really amazing for an old man to be doing. But Tim Burtons added his own little warped bit and made a little scene where something catches on fire, (like in most of his movies). But it still looks cool.
My favourite part of the film is where Willy Wonker tells Mike off for 'muttering,' it's soooo funny! I've got a big poster of Willy Wonker on my wall. This film wont be forgotten for a long while.
(Producers, If and when are you going to make a film of 'The Great Glass Elevator,' The sequel to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?'
