I heard the movie was bad, but it's just the opposite.

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2005)

I went to see Willy Wonka with my cousin about a week ago. Since I saw it, I couldn't stop talking about it. People had told me that movie was going to be a bad remake but it was not at all. The best part was that they gave background on Willy Wonka. They should have done that on the first one too. Also, the ending is completely different than the first one but much better. If I had to rate the movie on a scale of 10, 10 being the highest, I would give it a 9, and I don't even like Johnny Depp. My favorite movie is also by Tim Burton. He has surpassed any expectations I had for the movie. There were many memorable scenes from the movie and I will be talking about it for a while. I cannot wait until it comes out on DVD so I can watch it with my friends. However, there were a few things in the movie that I didn't like, but there will always be parts in a movie that people don't like. The oompa loompas were a bit different and some of the children's' parents were a little different from the first one. It's not different in a bad way. I wouldn't want it to be exactly like the first one though, because that would be like watching the same movie twice. Tim Burton did a good job of keeping the idea of the first one and making it completely his own.
