Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a Sweet Treat For All Ages!

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2006)

As with most trailers I see in the theater, when I see a trailer for a remake, I wonder why are they doing this. I heard good things from critics and I wanted to see Johnny Depp's new characterization of Willy Wonka. I just have to say that I loved it! Tim Burton creates not only memorable characters but also a visually amazing film. I have to say that the most memorable aspect of this film, as with many other moviegoers are going to say, is Johnny Depp's character. His Willy Wonka is eccentric, creepy, and a social misfit. Depp gives another memorable performance as with his Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Tim Burton has created a great fantasy film with great performances with its cast. I'd also like to mention Danny Elfman, musical composer for this film. He created some very memorable new oompa-loompa songs for this film. Tim Burton pulls off a sweet treat for audiences who I'm sure will love this movie.
