A movie in the true Tim Burton Style

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2005)

I loved this movie. It is done in the original Tim Burton Style, with all the dark humor from the book still very much alive. Johnny Depp gives one of his best performances. He certainly deserves an Oscar this time around. The editing, and the props are all dark. The outside of the factory, is bleak and boring. While the inside of the factory is filled with psychedelic colors. One of my favorite things were the Oompa-Loompas. The actor playing all of them was a really original idea. Even though at the end of the movie there is no hint that there is going to be a second, even though the book continues, maybe, Tim Burton as usual wants to put his own twist to the movie and the plot. As always, he pulls it off with flying colors and does an amazing job. Original, and as close to the book as one can get in a movie.
