Much better than I thought.

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2005)

I saw the teaser trailer for this film, and I'm like, "What the hell is that all about!" I was looking forward to the film before the teaser, but the teaser put me right off seeing the film. Then about a month later, I saw the trailer. Now this made me think that the film would be a bit better, but it looked like one of these stupid kiddie films that would bore me to bits. Then 2 months later, the rest of my family convinced me to see it. So I was sitting in the cinema, and then the film started. And the most fantastic music started, and I new instantly it was Mr Elfman. Then other things started to amaze me, like amazing effects such as the "Chocolate Palace" melting. And then the most amazing Chocolate Factory, and so much more, but then.... the Oompa Loompas showed up. I thought they were very stupid, and the songs they sang were really cheesy.And also the child actors (except Charlie) were not very good. But I realised in this film how good an actor Johnny Depp is. Compare him to his performance in Pirates of the Carrabien, and is such a different character, you wouldn't know it was the same guy! All in all the film was very very good.
