It's O.K. ---Only some info is spoiled...not a lot

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2005)

Although I do believe Depp is one of the best actors (i.e. Neverland, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) and was made to fit this mold, I didn't not believe that the character fit Depp in the end. Depp is a strong character with a strong personality and although this ideal of Wonka is also strong, Depp to me sounding like he's high most of the time, doesn't really get me into the mood to watch this movie.
Secondly, I do feel that they should have changed critical parts of the story: i.e. Charlie having a father, Charlie and Grandma Joe making the mistake, the glass elevator announced earlier...etc.
However, I do believe the the new movie was right to have changed the name to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory instead of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory since in the end it's a completely different movie.
It isn't a movie for kids since there are lot of adult jokes and the character's are a little mature from the original, but for the mature movie goer's it may be a different movie, but it's something worth seeing.
