My View Of The Movie

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2005)

My view of the movie is not all that bad, I did enjoy the movie more then I thought I might, Johnny Depp to me does it again bringing more of the original character from the book to life more then what Gene Wilder did, however this doesn't mean that Gene didn't do a great job, it just means that they are two different people with different ideas.
The movie did a great job keeping kids attention focused on the film, my five year old was seen dancing while the Oompa Loompa's took the stage and she never really noticed that it was the same actor. From the time that the movie starts to the end the five year old was pretty much into the movie.
The movie moved along rather quickly, and the story line was not at all dull, and at times very funny. Even though I give this movie a "Six" this is a movie that I will buy on DVD when it comes out, if not for me, it will be for the kids. Over all I thought the movie was good.
