Nothing could be sweeter ^_^

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2005)

Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), the owner of a biggest chocolate factory in the world, put five golden ticket randomly in his Wonka Bars inviting the holders to come for one day tour in his mysterious factory. For poor Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), who can only gets a Wonka Bar once a year on his birthday, the chances for a ticket are extremely slim. But good thing always come to the one with good heart. At the last day, Charlie won the chance to join 4 other children from all around the world; the spoiled Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), the competitive Violet Beauregard (Annasophia Robb); the fat Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegartz) and the violent Mike Teavee (Jordon Fry). Together they start their journey in the magnificent Willy Wonka's factory.
Tim Burton is great! He successfully created a visual that seems a combination of real and unreal. This movie also features an outstanding performance by all casts. Johnny Depp gives us an eccentric genius but innocent Willy Wonka, Freddie Highmore is a perfect Charlie, and the four other children and their parents are fit in their role as amusing irritating characters : D This movie also good in playing with emotions. We all know that Charlie's gonna find the ticket, but you just can't stop your heart from beat faster when the time is come. What I like least about this movie is the Oompa Loompas' songs. I don't know why I got scary feeling about them :( But I can say that this movie is greatly enjoyable. Nothing could be sweeter. Well done!
