Brilliant and a total feel-good movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2005)

Personally, i thought this film was absolutely amazing and its now one of my favourites. The story is of a young poor boy who adores the amazing chocolate of Willy Wonka but only gets one bar a year. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) announces that 5 golden tickets have been put in chocolate bars and shipped all over the world. There's a rush as shops are selling out of Wonka bars amazingly fast and children all over the world are buying millions of them. When there's only one ticket left, Charlie finds some money and buys a bar, inside is a gleaming golden ticket! His whole family are thrilled. And thats only the beginning of the movie.
Eccentric Willy Wonka is a lovable character that will make you laugh and Johnny Depp plays it so well he is amazing.
I won't continue with the story so that those who wish to see this film and have not read the book will get to see for themselves what happens.
This is a film that you can watch over and over again without getting bored. Its also a film that will make you laugh and satisfy you with a good story. Its amazing and will make you feel all warm inside.
The original film was good but Johnny Depp is just so much more than Gene Wilder can ever hope to be (from my point of view). In the original, you don't feel any connection with Charlie where as in the updated version you cant help but love him, same with wonka himself.
I love this film and i hope all of you do too, its amazing I've already seen it twice but would love to see it again.
