Winner!

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2006)

Yes! This was worth waiting! This was the film that surpassed all the bravest expectations. Mr. Depp is probably the greatest living actor in the world now, along with Al Pacino, De Niro or Julia Roberts or Jodie Foster. He is the ideal choice for a role of a real freak, like Willie Wonka is supposed to be. He plays Willie in such a cool, unbeatable way, that you only must applaud his mastery and talent. His Willie is a real freak, kind but cruel at the same time, vivid and languid, as if drunk and very sober. He is a walking enigma and he is a true King Of The Weird. The scene where he commands one of his nut squirrels to check a head of a naughty girl is merely cruel, but so funny. It is not only Depp, then, there is a very god part of Mrs. Bonham Carter, and then, all the actors are a good, brilliant choice here. And the colors! From a gray, dull scheme of Charlie's poor shabby hut to the warm, psychedelic rainbows of Willie's world! Awesome work of the crew and the film maker... Excellent work, all in all.
