I am so incredibly impressed with the team that made this film. They all did an amazing job. Johnny Depp was a brilliant choice for Wonka, as he has proved time & time again that he can do anything. Even his flops were....well, not THAT bad anyway. I loved all the new things that were added, but having grown up watching WIlly Wonka, and now having had 3 kids that are growing up watching it ( and they love it as much as I) I noticed all the things that were not there from the first movie. Not a problem for me.
Shame on Gene Wilder for complaining that this film was being made. Deprive the world a new & wonderful story that has the benefits of all the technology that has come our way..since what? 1971, was it? Look at all the films that have been remade..Oceans 11 & Amytiville Horror just to name a couple. And the TV shows from back in the day being made into full length films? That list goes on & on. What's the problem Gene? K, said what I came to say..THANX!
