Definitely a great remake...

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2005)

When the original movie, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, came out I was 10 years old. I loved and watched it many times while it was in the theater. It has always been a great movie and the only person in the world who could have remade it is Tim Burton. He is a true visionary of our time, and I've loved every movie he's ever made.
Something I noticed while watching this movie is the number of return actors that are willing to go with Tim in any movie he asks them for. I'll bet there is a line of actors waiting to be in his movies. I know I would be in that line if I was an actor. :-)
Additionally Johnny Depp is "The Man" in movies. He is so talented and can act in any genre. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are just awesome together!!
Like MadMax says, this may sound like a commercial but take your entire family and their friends to see this wonderful movie. It is definitely an original from the original. 8 out of 10 stars for me!
