A first rate family film

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2005)

I think that this version of Willie Wonker is superb and Johnny Deppe's performance is second to none. he bought a new way of portraying Willie as opposed to that of Gene Wilder in the original film. I did miss however the importance of finding the golden ticket, I think that this film did not make as much of as it should have. The new songs from the om pa loom pa's were great and I would think more attractive to the kids of today. Johnny Depp is a marvellous actor and portrays all his roles with gusto especially pirates of the Caribbean and I think he has made this version of Willie Wonker his own The whole film was an overall success and it gave me and my grandchildren a marvellous day at the cinema watching it.
