Willy Wonka: Everything here is eatable. I'm eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in most societies.
OK Charlie and the chocolate factory This was my most anticipated movie of 2005 so excuse me if i sound a little bias....OK johnny depp is the best choice they could've made for willy wonka....his mannerisms, movements, and voice just make the character....Willy wonka seems to be a mix of Marilyn Manson, Michael Jackson and Mr. Rodgers...all mixed into one.....unlike gene wilder.....but really.....if it came down to it.....johnny depp is my favorite willy wonka....this movie goes into detail of how willy wonka became a chocolatier....from his days as a boy to his days as a corner shop owner....this film is somewhat darker than the 1971 version.....wonka no longer sings....he does dance a little and he does smile more but when he does....it seems like he wants to take the children to bed.....but their is no more slugworth.....there is actually one mention of him but thats it.....so the kids aren't vying for the grand prize.....which isn't a lifetime supply of chocolate...(every kid gets that).....there's no mention of snausberries and in the tunnel theirs no chicken getting its head chopped off....mike teevee isn't taken by his mom and violet beugarde isn't taken by her father....rather their dad and mother respectively....Charlie has a father in this movie which i thought was really weird....and it does show how his family makes a few dollars.....but the film used so much time showing why Willy wonka did what he did and how Charlie found the ticket that the whole chocolate factory seemed rushed and there were a few scenes missing from this version.....there is no more fizzy lifting drink there is just one mention of everlasting gobstopper......all in all this is definitely a movie worth spending the 12.50 to see it at an IMAX or the 8.00 to see it at cinemark.....so watch it and enjoy....
