Something for everyone

Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2005)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has something for everyone: -great children's story; i loved the original when i was a kid, and was looking forward for this for a while -baked teenager's paradise; trippy oompah loompahs.... -12 year old girl's heaven; seeing Johnny Depp on the poster is enough. -those old enough to remember the original; i loved it, as i'm sure every other human being did. -PG rating; parents can take their kids. -spooky kids; remember, Tim Burton is directing
Great movie. Even if you're seeing it for any reason i failed to mention above, you'll love it. Johnny Depp is a great actor; his ability to avoid typecast and play any part is intimidating. His role as Willy Wonka is (dare i say) quite possibly better than Gene Wilder's. And I'm a Gene Wilder fan. Enjoy!
