Better than the original

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2005)

Excellent, better than the original movie. Johnny Depp's performance was better than I imagined. This is a movie that you can take kids too, but it has humor added in for adults that children don't quite get, which makes it even funnier. I enjoyed the background information given about how Wonka became a choclatier. This movie has more depth than the original version. Don't get me wrong, the original was wonderful, but this version takes the story on a whole new level.I also was delighted to find out where the Oompa Loompa's came from and why they worked in the factory as opposed to humans. This movie was so good I will probably go see it again while at the theatre, which I typically don't do.
