a re-imagination of the book

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2006)

This movie was pretty good. But I liked the version with Gene Wilder better. I haven't read the book, so I don't know which version is more accurate. But this movie does have some different adventures in the chocolate factory. Plus, Johnny Depp plays an unique Willy Wonka. He's very weird and neurotic. Plus ghostly(fair skinned): I guess from hardly ever leaving the factory. The stories the same with the finding of the golden tickets. The oomp a loomphas are different and they sing these cute songs every time one of the kids has to go. The boat ride on the chocolate river was different. It was neat. But the other kids beside Charlie were bratty as ever.
FINAL VERDICT: Still a good children's story. I recommend it.
