wonderful imagination for children of all ages

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2014)

Tim Burton has made a wonderful remake of the 1971 film with Gene Wilder. The 1971 Movie was awful and was not I repeat not faithful to the book at all but this remake is more faithful to the book and more slightly atmospheric compared to the sunny positive message of the original. A few things I need to bring to light here, Johnny Depp's performance is a performance of comic genius and he is quirky and kooky and not too negative compared to Gene Wilder's weird strange performance. The Music and Songs Written by Danny Elfman which use the original lyrics from the book are all unique and styled differently. The Sets are extraordinary beautiful visual creations that make you want to go and visit the factory yourself. It is amazing the level of achievement in this movie is mind blowing. Last few points, People love the 1971 film why I do not know and will never understand, give this one a chance please kids will sit through it even at 110 minutes it never bores you never!
