Everlasting gob-stopper of a Film!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2005)

I think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a wonderful ride. It was very colorful, nice graphics, music (Elfman) and excellent characters. I like the old and new Willy Wonka but in this version...it appears they could do much more and better things (ex: Wonkavator and the boat ride). I think Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp did their own version of Wonka in their unique way. The updated Oompa Loompas(sp?) music was pretty neat as well, the songs were each different which was nice. I got tired of the Original Oompa song in the first movie so this was refreshing. I really was pretty sure that Tim Burton wouldn't mess this up and I believe he didn't. A well executed wonderful approach to this classic!
