Johnny Depp and Tim Burton puts a new spin on Mr.Wonka

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2005)

One of my personal favorite films of this year. For the those who thought Tim Burton's remake on the classic "Charlie and The Chocolate factory" staring Gene wilder, would be a disappointment were wrong. This movie was as good or even better than the original. Tim Burton the famed director of movies such as "The Nightmare Before Christmas and "Edward Scissor Hands" gave a newly deserved twist on the old classic by giving the old Tim Burton touch. Tim Burton all way gives that weird artistic greatness in all his movies including this movie. for people who didn't read the book, the first movie left out a lot of back story and character development. This new movie gives those needed back stories of Mr.Wonka giving you a better understanding. Now to get down to Johnny Depp and his co stars. this movies acting was phenomenal, not just by legendary actor Johnny Depp but by his young co stars. Johnny Depp just like Tim Burton puts a delightful spin of weirdness on the classic. This movie had beautiful creative sets and amazing visual effects. See this movie if not for Tim Burton then for the always great Johnny Depp.
