Different isn't always a bad thing

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2006)

There was so much hype about it. The NEW chocolate factory movie. Again we get to see the Oompa Loompas Willy Wonka and little Charlie Bucket perform their magic. There was a big difference in the music department and the Oopma Loompas songs were made in a completely different manner. There was a huge change in the acting department. I did enjoy Gene Wilder acting in 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' and i think that Johnny Depp did a fantastic job acting in this one. The character of Willy Wonka was shown in a completely different way and i think changed the entire aspect of the film. The scenery was almost the same but the thing i like most about this version was that it stuck very well to the book and it had a very nice ending. it felt more 'finished' then in 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' I rated it a 7 out of 10 as there were bits that i enjoyed and others i would have licked differently. i think that this movie is a happy fun loving movie that all children should enjoy.
