Could be better!

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2009)

I am a big fan of Johnny Depp, so watching this film was a must for me. I didn't read the book nor watch the earlier movie so I will make no comparisons. You will find many reasons to like this film: The ingenious Freedie Highmore, the outstanding special world that will fascinate you from the first moment, the weird and superb performance of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, yet it is not a complete masterpiece. Something big is missing. During watching I was waiting for 'something' to happen which I didn't know what exactly. Furthermore, the ending was far from satisfaction. Also the part of Wonka's childhood was kinda not convenient. This film could be better hundred times but I don't know how if you ask me!
