My Thoughts...

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2005)

I loved this movie, except, it wasn't very long, and I thought they could have used some of the original characters that Roald Dahl didn't use in his final draft of the book - that would have spiced things up a little bit more, given it a greater substance.
I thought Johnny Depp was a pretty poor choice, but then again, I can't really think of anyone else who'd fit the role as well.
The Oompa Loompas though, I have to say, I thought were just mediocre. I wasn't amazingly keen on their appearance - I think they could have picked more appropriate looking dudes to play them - loved the fact they had 'Doris', though! Augustus Gloop and his mother could have been put across as being a bit more eccentric and mellow-dramatic, too, as could Violet Beauregarde and her mother. Everything else I think, such as the scenery, other characters and various additions not in the book were fantastic!
