Excellent!

I really couldn't believe that anyone could top Gene Wilder's performance as Willie Wonka, but I should have known better! Knowing that Johnny Depp would bring him to life, and Tim Burton directing, should have given me a clue that it would be nothing less than fantastic!! They exceeded my expectations and turned Willie Wonka into the person I had imagined him to be when I read the book as a child. All the cast was wonderful, and the set was outstanding! There was also a magnetism that could be felt between Charlie and Willie - something I think was lacking in the first movie. This is a must see for any age - as it will leave you with a smile.
