Excellent!

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2006)

This film is very good for both children and adults, Johnny Depp is excellent and you want to watch his performance over and over again, Deep Roy will also gain many fans after his performance as all Oompa Loompa's.
The film follows the book very closely and some of it even word for word, there are subtle difference but in my opinion only for the better and the inclusion of Willy Wonka's dad is not in the book version at all. The only irritating part is the Americanisation of the story, always referring to chocolate as 'candy' is one example that makes you want to scream! On the whole the story has been modernised with regards to the awful children who come a cropper and thankfully that element was not toned down.
