It was great but I don't like the end of the film

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2005)

The movie was great, except for one thing; the end of the film differs from Dahl's book (wich ends with the crystal elevator flying to space). Also, Wonka's father seems to be a character created only to justify the end of the film. But the film has a lot of the magic of Roald's book; the dark side of the trip over the factory, the character of the Oompaa Loompaas are well made and of course, Johnny Depp is great on his role of Willy Wonka. It has the crazy thing of Gene Wilder 70's performance, and a bit of Depp own interpretation. I read somewhere, that Depp found his way doing this role inspired on Stone's musician Brian Jones, particularly his haircut(although Jones was blonde hair)
